We wanted to send you into the weekend with a smile on your face and this important reminder:
How to Make Your Peepers POP Behind Glasses
There are great eyeglass choices out there these days – studious, whimsical, retro – something for every personality. But no matter how much pizazz your frames have, your eyes should still be the stars of your face. Often the eyes end up with a facial supporting role, the sparkle dimmed by a layer of…

10 Things You Should Have in Your Bathroom if You’re Over 50
1. Magnifying mirror. Because objects seen in regular mirrors are really larger than they appear. The little hair chin – that is actually two inches long, the stray brow – which is actually creating a bridge across your nose, that cute freckle – that is actually a smear of lunch’s BBQ sauce.

Quinbloits – Words You Have to Be Over 50 to Understand
Remember sniglets from back in the 80s? Words for those everyday things or events that formerly didn’t have words for them? There is still a need for such a service.

There’s an app for that!
I recently got a smartphone (as in just last week)! I know! That really should have been in the confessional section of this blog because it is a bit embarrassing to have gone this long without one.
