My Blog Circle:

My website www.ZestNow.com for Women 50 and Forward covers Beauty & Style, Relationships, Health, Money, Retirement and Travel. We've just added a Shop with styles and items specifically chosen as flattering and useful for women over 50.

Articles on the site include updating your wardrobe and makeup, internet dating, thoughts on happiness and ideas for second careers and healthy living.  Profiles of interesting women over 50 are always fascinating. Our 3 videos on the ZestNow YouTube Channel demonstrate makeup techniques for our age group.

My video interview of the expert on sex after 50 is Interesting and a little quirky while I try to deal with understanding her recommended sex toy.

In addition to writing by experts and comments by members, we have product or gift certificate giveaways.

my VN interview

How did you get to where you are now?

My background is a long and continuing career as a serial entrepreneur. I've started, sold and bought my own small companies, all based on products for women. I've been involved with many women's groups and with individual women who have been inspiring and helpful to my life.

. ZestNow.com is my current passion. I'm trying to gather the best resources, expert information and products to help us live our best lives after 50.
How do you see yourself differently now than you did 10 years ago?

My interest in women in my age group has gotten much stronger. I think women are setting an exciting new standard for vitality and interests at this phase of life.

Surprise - the later years are so happy!
