    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,

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

    See the title? I could also be saying, who am I?  Wow – that’s a big question, but I’m feeling somewhat discombobulated (I love that word) at the moment. We’ve just returned to our flat, after a week away. But

    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,
