What do your clothes and hair say about you?

Our society as a whole tends to be obsessed with all things youthful – this information is not new. Women tend to wear the brunt of this bias most of the time, particularly in their working life. I spoke with Trish Perry from Ultimate Image Impact about this recently, who works with women on feeling great about themselves – inside and out.

Lingerie or Underwear
Recently, after a great girlie trip to the Bunya mountains, I realised that I was sadly lacking in the lingerie department. Well when I say sadly lacking, I mean wearing sexy lingerie is not an everyday event for me. I have always thought lingerie was something for special occasions. Isn’t underwear and lingerie two totally different things? Apparently not.
According to my niece in her early twenties, wearing beautiful lingerie is an every day occurrence. She was appalled that I might consider saving such treasures for evenings of romance. ‘What do you wear the rest of the time, nanna knickers’ she scoffed. Well I wouldn’t have quite called them that.

Feeling beautiful?
For those looking for some great new reading, there is a young Brisbane woman, Sophee McPhee, who has just launched a magazine called QCG Magazine (Queensland Calander Girls).
The magazine is refreshingly distinctive, targeting a more mature audience and focusing on celebrating real women. Based on the inspirational and heart-warming box office hit, Calendar Girls (starring Helen Mirren & Julie Walters), QCG Magazine was developed to connect, inspire and celebrate all women. Their philosophy is, "skin – not plastic", and the pages are filled with real stories from real women.

NY’s – less of the BANG, more of the LOVE…
The new year brings with it an optimistic clean slate.
Is anything more appealing in life than feeling like the past can be left just there – in the past?

Fishnets at 50
"There are no ugly women, only lazy ones,” Helena Rubenstein once famously said. For anyone who is ageing (all of us), you soon realise with maturity your beauty regime requires more time and effort. When does time and effort go too far though? If we can’t wear fishnets at 50, are we letting the team down?
