My Mum uses whatever moisturiser takes her eye either from the supermarket or the stores ‘nothing special’ she says. She also advocates protecting your face from the sun.
2. On Style
[perfectpullquote align=”full” bordertop=”false” cite=”” link=”” color=”” class=”” size=””]Keep it simple, make sure you are comfortable and use accessories to add a little sparkle.[/perfectpullquote]
My mum always wears earrings when she goes out and still loves to wear her jeans and t-shirts, and why not? , they suit her down to the ground and she looks great in them!
3. On life
Having had more than her fair share of tragedy and disappointments during her 76 years my Mums advice is simple…

Her favourite saying when life gets tough is ‘this too shall pass‘ something I always try to remember.

My Mum enjoys her food and has never counted a calorie in her life. she says…
