Ripley, the powerful character played by Sigourney Weaver in the Alien series, has had a tough life. She has been attacked by vicious, acid-drooling aliens, trapped, killed and resurrected. She has encountered personal conflicts and fought to protect her crew. Now, there are signs that, in Alien 5 (actual title: Alien: Covenant), Ripley’s troubled story may finally be coming to an end!

It’s been over 2 years since Ariane Poole and I started working together on a series of makeup tips for older women videos. In today’s video, we will show you how to draw attention to your beautiful eyes. Read More

Knowing how to grow old well is a problem that few people throughout history have had to tackle. As recently as a few generations ago, living to your 60s was a privilege denied to almost everyone. Read More

When Helen Mirren announced that she would be appearing in the upcoming film about illegal street racing, “Fast 8,” I was so excited. After all, after her amazing Top Gear performance, who wouldn’t want to see Dame Helen Mirren behind the wheel of a Lamborghini Huracan, McLaren 650S or Porsche 918 Spyder? Read More

Good morning! Today, I want to take a bit of a break from bad news and focus on feel-good stories that can help us to stay positive. Join us as we discuss Helen Mirren’s upcoming appearance in “Fast 8,” Richard Branson’s 66th birthday and a big announcement from Mick Jagger. We will also discuss a survey that, among other things, said that “Women over 47 should throw away their skinny jeans.” What nonsense! I’m so proud of the women in our community who are saying no to aging stereotypes and living life in their own way. Come join us for a cup of tea and a chat! Read More

Good morning! One of the side-effects of all of the tragic news that we have been hearing about lately is that it makes us think more about our own lives. Have we done all of the things that we wanted to do? Have we told the people closest to us how much we care? As the people of France and Turkey begin the difficult process of healing, I want to start a conversation about how to avoid regrets after 60. Join me as we discuss the healing process in Nice and Turkey, Trump’s new VP choice, avoiding regrets, the story of an 86-year-old woman with 86 grandkids and much more! Come join us for a cup of tea and a chat! Read More

If you look back through history, being a woman wasn’t always a lot of fun. In some parts of the world, it still isn’t, by the way! Even in the United States, we have only had the right to vote for just under 100 years. Just over 50 years ago, we weren’t protected from discrimination based on our sex in the workplace. Read More
