Guerrilla Aging: Navigating the Third Half of Life
December 11, 2012 by Life in the Boomer Lane
If the title confuses you, you are in the right place. We are women navigating a part of life that hasn’t been navigated before. Often, we do so in secret. While the media focuses on the younger, the firmer, the more camera-ready, we “women of a certain age” age behind the scenes, beneath the radar. […]
Aging Facefully
December 5, 2012 by Life in the Boomer Lane
A favorite activity of celeb mags, when they aren’t detailing Taylor Swift’s boyfriend du jour or the imminent break up and/or marriage of Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie, is to haul out photos of older actresses and to shriek “More beautiful than ever!” “Never ages!” “What is her Secret?” “These Older Actresses Get Hotter Every […]

December 27, 2012 by Life in the Boomer Lane
53
Let’s face it: It’s pretty darn difficult to make any kind of resolutions for 2013 when we have just narrowly escaped The Rapture, The Mayan Calendar Flaw, and Mitt Romney. And, with only a few days to go, we are perched on the edge of The Fiscal Cliff and the only people who can save us […]
