Hair! Some common problems and solutions

Hair! Some common problems and solutions

Hi everyone I’m a bit late this week – I’ll tell you the reason at the end of the post. Hair! This is a tricky one as I am not an expert on hair, and furthermore have been blessed with my mother’s Scottish red hair gene, but someone asked me

There’s a change in the weather – so do you need different clothes?

There’s a change in the weather – so do you need different clothes?

Hello everyone Writing this post was a bit of an effort this week as I’m feeling very sleep deprived – more about this below – but first what a contrast in the weather! Yesterday we had a storm off the Atlantic blowing its way across the nation. It wasn’t too

This and that and a swishing party planned – for the future!!!

Hi I don’t know if this happens elsewhere but here in the Uk whenever the media publishes an article on the older population (as in from 65+) it is usually accompanied by a photo of either a sad old woman looking out of the window or a pair of hands

Finally, it’s summer!

Wow, it was hot on Saturday. Over several days we’ve finally had quite warm (for the UK) temperatures. So I got out my summer dresses and actually wore them. And believe me, it has to be warm for me to bare my arms and go around without a cardi!  There

Health & Wellbeing Part 2 Maintenance – that’s eight hours and counting!

Health & Wellbeing Part 2  Maintenance – that’s eight hours and counting!

I’m a great fan of Nora Ephron (such a brilliant writer) and especially her book, ‘I Feel Bad About My Neck and other thoughts on being a woman’. I’ve just got it off the shelf and flicked through it. For me, two of her pieces stand out: there’s the one about

Grey hair rules – for me, anyway!

Grey hair rules – for me, anyway!

You know I always say, do as you please and wear what you want! That rule also applies to hair – you do as you feel you should. Because, only you will know when it’s right to go grey and au naturel. And especially, don’t listen to anyone extolling the

The thing about white hair

The thing  about white hair

It’s two years now since I had my hair dyed. It was October 2016 when I last had my roots  coloured, and I look at past photos (here’s one taken a few years ago) and I think, gosh, that was a bit yellow and artificial. Not that I thought that at

A close look at health, wellbeing and just having fun – as the years roll by!

Had another birthday recently – 72 now. I asked myself how did that happen! Well, it’s just something you cannot escape.  The years roll by and there you are – you’re over 70! I do think turning 70 is crunch time.  Listen, when I reached my 60s I felt absolutely

About Me

My name is Penny, I am 74 years old and I live in Brighton, East Sussex. My reasons for writing a fashion blog is that I have built up a great wardrobe on very little money mainly because I buy from charity shops.

So my blog will feature the clothes I have found since I retired, and the clothes that I continue to find in my local charity shops. From time to time I will also comment on issues around women and ageing.

Penny,
the Frugalfashionshopper
