Today’s News for Women over 50
Happy Wednesday, ladies. Welcome to Today’s News for Women over 50.
Today’s News for Women over 50 is a weekly post where I curate lifestyle news for women into one location…to make life a little easier for YOU.
Last week, one of the recipes about a peach dessert had me thinking peaches all week…so I made a peach cobbler and ice cream dessert for Mother’s Day.
I enjoy searching the news sites and a few influencers to find you articles that I truly believe will give you assistance and inspiration.
So, let’s get a cozy spot this lovely May morning, and read what I have found in today’s news for women over 50….

I had to click over to the lemon blueberry loaf recipe, immediately. Ha! And, oh the browns! I haven’t gone through the entire video, yet, but what inspiration. Sometimes it seems challenging to find a pretty brown—I guess this color is one you have to buy when you see it and spend time in your closet mixing and matching. Thanks for the round up, Pam.
You are so welcome. Browns can be worn all year, so when I purchase my best shade of browns I do it with longevity in mind…the color does serve those of us in the warmer palettes well.
There are some wonderful articles today. I enjoyed the kitchen ones. I have always collected pottery and dishes, and I inherited a ton of it. The vintage kitchens were particularly poignant, especially when I saw the red stool at the end. I sat on that stool for 25 years in my classroom. I have an old one, different style, in my kitchen today. It came with our cottage in 1956 when my dad bought it, before my husband and I renovated it as our retirement home. I have so much of the original furniture. If anyone can stream Max , watch a few episodes of For the Love of Kitchens. It is a British love story about kitchen design and takes you to many special UK homes. The designers are incredible artisans that focus not only on bespoke cabinets, tables, etc but they also design and make pottery, plates, lighting, light switches- all made in their mill property that dates back to the 1600s. Now that I have my grandchildren on the bus, I will watch the video. Brown is my black! Thank you, Pamela.
Thank you, Deborah, for sharing about the show. I do not have MAX, but it sounds like a show I would really like!
The most interesting thing about the video on wearing browns was how it really helped me to see the differences between warm (which I wear as a Spring) and cool browns, even though that wasn’t even mentioned in the video.
I agree, Gayle…it was helpful for that reason.
I can wear dark rich brown corduroy pants and a blue top as I’m a cool palette. Most of the video was for warm palettes. Beautiful clothes though. I enjoyed the Sea Island cottage makeover. It looks like such a comfortable place to vacation. I like all of the color. The kitchen tile was a miss for me. The shiny inside of a shell look isn’t to my taste but a lot of the decor is gorgeous and comfy looking to me.
Brown is one of my best colors and I’m thrilled that it has been in style for a few years. If I find a style I like in warm brown I have a hard time resisting. I especially like a mid or dark brown top with white or off white pants in summer. The video had some nice combinations though it seem to be all over the place. The pasta salad recipe looks so good. I want to try it next time I make mayonnaise.
So many good articles today, Pam. Thank you. I too loved the look of the Sea Island home except for the kitchen backsplash tiles as Sydney H said. Too shiny. Lots of good healthy tips too.
