Beauty tips for women over 50:

1. Don’t use heavy makeup and powders on dry skin.

2. Your skin may look matte and dry, if heavily powdered.

3. Just as the pigment in our hair turns it grey, the melanin in our skin changes too.

4. Don’t fall prey to the idea that you must have every new color that is in trend for a particular season.

5. Use a humidifier, moisturizing soaps and lotions.

6. Good nutrition is ideal for repairing damaged skin.

7. Drinking lots of water helps hydrate skin.

8. Use products with SPF 15 or higher, and both UVB and UVA protection.

Loss of youthful appearance, decreased skin tautness and the development of wrinkles are the telltale signs of aging skin. As we grow in age, the skin sags and becomes wrinkled. The skin ages for various reasons. Both intrinsic as well as environmental factors are responsible for skin aging. Increasing loss of flexibility due to degeneration of collagen and elastin within the epidermis naturally leads to aging skin. UVA and UVB light wavelengths from the sun also ‘contribute’ their bit in speeding up the ageing process of the skin.

You Know You're Retired ...
# There are three signs of old age. The first is your loss of memory. I forget the other two.

# You're getting old when you don't care where your spouse goes, just as long as you don't have to go along.

# Middle age is when work is a lot less fun - and fun is a lot more work.

# Statistics show that at the age of seventy, there are five women to every man. Now isn't that a great time for a guy to get those kind of odds?

# You know you're getting on in years when the girls at the office start confiding in you.

# Middle age is when it takes longer to rest than to get tired.

# Middle age is when you have stopped growing at both ends, and have begun to grow in the middle.

# You know you're into middle age when you realize that caution is the only thing you care to exercise.

# You're getting old when you wake up with that morning-after feeling, and you didn't do anything the night before!

# The cardiologist's diet: if it tastes good, spit it out.

# It's hard to be nostalgic when you can't remember anything.

# When you lean over to pick something up off the floor, you ask yourself if there is anything else you need to do while you are down there.

Something to think about...

Something to think about...

If you can start the day without caffeine;
If you can get going without pep pills;
If you can always be cheerful, ignoring aches and pains;
If you can resist complaining and boring people with your troubles;
If you can eat the same food every day and be grateful for it;
If you can understand when your loved ones are too busy to give you any time;
If you can forgive a friend's lack of consideration;
If you can overlook it when those you love take it out on you when,
   through no fault of your own, something goes wrong;
If you can take criticism and blame without resentment;
If you can ignore a friend's limited education and never correct him;
If you can resist treating a rich friend better than a poor friend;
If you can face the world without lies and deceit;
If you can conquer tension without medical help;
If you can relax without liquor;
If you can sleep without the aid of drugs;
If you can honestly say that deep in your heart you have no prejudice
   against creed or color, religion or politics; then, my friend, you are
   almost as good as your dog.

Cake Cover

 

Orange Cake 

500g butter

500g castor sugar

3 tbsp grated orange zest

500g self-raising flour

200ml freshly squeezed orange juice

8 eggs

1/2 teaspoon vanilla essence

few drops lemon juice

1. Heat the oven to 170C/Gas 3. You will need a 30 cm cake tin with removable sides,  well-greased with butter.
   
2. Cream butter and sugar well, until it is very pale and thick - this will take quite a while.
   
3. Add the eggs one by one, beating well after each addition, and the zest, if using. Add the flour all at once, and beat well, then slowly add the orange juice, until it is incorporated.
   
4. Pour the batter into the prepared cake tin, and bake for 1 hour and 10 minutes - or until an inserted skewer comes out clean.
