    The makeup business – new developments and trends plus a joyful experience

    Hello everyone The beauty business – it’s a strange one. Think how it’s changed over the years. It used to be ‘let’s go down Boots’, after a frothy coffee in that new-fangled coffee bar. And once in Boots, the Chemist,

    Here it is – my first makeup video!

    I absolutely won’t go on about doing YouTube videos once it is up and running and I’ve got into the routine of it all.  Btw, I won’t be uploading every day – that would be way too much – but

    Reflections on Ageing Part 2 – Maintenance

    Not off to the cruise quite yet, but I’m just about to start packing that capsule wardrobe!  So, continuing with the theme of ageing, and I know I’ve written about this before, but, in my view ageing is hard work.

    About Me

    My name is Penny, I am 78 years old and I live in Lewes, 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,
