As you all know, More Magazine is one of our all time favorite magazines for women over 40!!!
So as you can imagine we were blown off our computer chairs when we got a letter recently asking us to join the More online Blogging team!
Today we debut our first article for them,
What to wear when you work from home, by The Glam Gals
Hope you enjoy it!
We love tips on how to play up our best parts and camouflage our not so favorite parts … so here is another one….
We were recently guest bloggers on the site Yummy Mummy, where we found some fun fashion advice from writer Lillian Canini. Lillian has very practical and comical suggestions for dressing when your life revolves around your children. She urges us to laugh loudly and wear a plaid bra! Oh, and don’t forget the shapewear for that post-baby body!
The Yummy Mummy Club is the online destination for modern mothers looking for guilt free adult stimulation. The Yummy Mummy Club speaks to the woman in every mom.
What to know some great cost cutting ideas, to save some money?

I Remember JFK
The Ups and Downs of Downtowns
The communities that we live in have been evolving since time immemorial. No facet of American culture has undergone more transformations than the downtown business district.
Every town with more than a couple hundred residents has one. And the odds are that it has seen its share of ups and downs over the years. And I’m not just talking Boomer years, either. See if you remember JFK…
and finally….
Gen Plus
Which is scarier Halloween or November 4th. Cast Your Vote at Gen Plus.
Have a great week!
Interesting post at Newsweek about a new trend happening with models. It seems there’s a swing away from serious looking pencil thin young glamazons to more real looking models -everyday people of all shapes sizes, who exude their own unique kind of personal style no matter what they are wearing.
Apparently, it’s all because of bloggers like Scott Schuman, who we’ve written about before, from The Satorialist. His candid person-on-the street fashion photos have inspired the fashion industry to make the change.
First it was the Dove Pro-age ladies… now this. Looking forward to seeing many more magnificent midlife mamas and boomer babes!
(Let’s hope these real models smile and laugh a little. We’re sick of looking at photos of teenage girls with sucked in cheeks and sour faces. Life is too short to be frumpy and too short to be so serious!)
Dove Pro-Age Ad
Since we’ve been writing for Fabulous After 40, we’ve discovered a whole bunch of other great boomer blogs to help you live the fabulous boomer life you deserve. As a result, we’ve joined a group called Blogging Boomers.
Blogging Boomers is a weekly roundup (also known as a “carnival”) of the top stories on the top blogs dedicated to baby boomer interests.
The Blogging Boomers carnival will appear each week at a different boomer blog. These are all great blogs and we strongly recommend you take the opportunity to check each one out.
