I believe it is past due for a round of headlines on Today’s News for Women Over 50…headlines from various sources I curate together just for you….the savvy, vibrant women over 50. Through my various studies, I have confirmed that women of elegance are informed and keep abreast of what is happening around them in the areas of lifestyle, beauty and health. Please be sure if you ever read anything on this blog that causes you to desire a change in your health routine, that it is always a good idea to discuss those changes with your personal doctor.

JUST A NOTE:
There are several ways that I generate income through this blog in order to cover business expenses and give myself much needed income. Purchases through the slideshow links is one way, ads on the page is one way and a new way is through ordering or re-ordering the GOLI Apple Cider Vinegar gummies through me with my GOLI LINK HERE. Again, if you are not familiar with the benefits of apple cider vinegar, you should speak with your personal physician. My husband and I are sold on the benefits and I am proud to represent this product. I am going to leave this at the bottom of my posts so that when you, friends or family would like to order you can use my link. Thanks for the support. This is a great product; as well as, the ones below!

In calculating my BMR, I guess I shouldn’t be eating very much at all. That was a real eye-opener! Of course, I’m exercising daily so I guess I can factor that in, but I was kind of surprised at the low number. Guess I’ll do more reading on this!
Shocked me as well! Keep doing what your doing, Karen!
