By the time March rolls in and out my skin feels like it’s lived three lives since December. If you’re 45 or better, you probably know the feeling. Winter doesn’t just nip at us; it tests the architecture of our skin in ways younger complexions don’t notice. I’ve come to think of these months…

Color can be one of your best style allies or your worst enemy. Our styles and color preferences naturally change over the years.

Although I live in Canada, I am spending more and more time in London, England with my kids and first grandchild.

A bunion is a misaligned metatarsal phalangeal joint (the joint that connects the 1st long bone of the foot to the big toe). Bunions often occur when the joint is stressed. Bunions are much more likely to form in women, primarily because women are prone to wear pointed and/or tight shoes…

We all know how to flirt at least a little bit because some flirting happens subconsciously. This means it happens without our conscious awareness, so it’s very natural and automatic. Super sexual flirting isn’t done naturally, and that’s not something I recommend…

Dating over 60 is brave. Tender. Hopeful. And yet – sometimes the hardest part isn’t the men. It’s the people sitting across from you at lunch, clutching their wine glasses, nodding sympathetically while inadvertently dragging your love life into the gutter…

I hear a lot of stories from my male clients. Please pay attention as they make up half of the people I work with on a weekly basis. Before you think I’m singling out the audience of Sixty and Me, keep in mind that these are valid things to consider…

Standing at the terminal on a recent trip to Japan, I faced a small but nagging question: Should I pay an extra $70 each way to select my seat? It was the longest flight I’d ever taken, and I wanted to arrive as comfortable and pain-free as possible…

Not long ago, a reader shared something that stayed with me. She said, “My home is the most valuable thing I own, but I’m not sure what actually happens to it when I’m gone.” It was not a gloomy conversation. In fact, she was healthy, active, and enjoying retirement…

How much you will need for health costs in retirement will depend on when and where you retire, your health, how you will pay for the costs, and how long you live. According to a study by Fidelity, a typical retired couple aged 65 in 2022 will need…

Cash feels safe. After decades of saving and investing, retirement brings a natural shift. Many people find themselves wanting more stability, fewer surprises, less volatility. And cash – sitting quietly in a bank or money market account – delivers that feeling immediately…

Over the past few years, I have heard a quiet observation repeated by many women over 60. Nothing dramatic has happened. Life is still good. Yet something subtle begins to shift. Activities and commitments that once felt natural start to invite…
