My daughter showed me something the White House posted around Valentine’s Day and she first thought that it was a meme/parody account!

I’m having a surgery on Tuesday and I’m terrified since last time the anaesthesia didn’t go well at all (and there’s a biopsy involved too). Any tips on how to relax over the next 2 days?
Thank you ☺️

Fantastic news Carly 🎉

Mine is very old too

2/2 🦋 Bonus: it will break another patriarchal obstacle to women getting empowered together against the false narrative that we’re jealous of younger women and that older women are obsolete. Stop the segregation, let’s become an inclusive & strong community! 🫶

1/2 🦋You know where we get it all wrong? It’s when we want to connect here with women around our age only. Connections with younger & older women will bring you a different perspective and wisdom 🌺

Do you really think TikTok would be sold to the US when 90+% of its users are non US, and when those same users don’t want another social media platform in the hands of the US? 🤔

I saw it a few months ago, it was hilarious! Loved it!

I still don’t understand why the power lines aren’t buried in Australia, especially in large cities

Stay safe, apparently there will be more wind this afternoon

2/2 Follow, like, share. Most have chronic illnesses, won’t be allowed into the workplace because ‘too old’. It could bring them an income!

It’s not easy to navigate that new part of our life, that new body, that invisibility, that lack of representation, and more often than not that ageism. When women over 50 , like me, get out of their comfort zone to change the narrative of ‘the woman that let herself go’, give her some love. 1/2

Treat artists like humans. If you're commissioning artists, communicate with them about your expectations and questions. Keep in mind that one month is a FAST turnaround with how much work artists do outside of drawing the art, and the lives and struggles we have outside of our jobs.

Well, last night’s thunderstorm was something! It had been years since my bedroom got flooded (first floor) because the wind pushed the rain through my old windows.

Photo of colourful houses (orange, blue, red, and yellow) on a wharf in front of the water

Here’s a photo I took this morning of the Waterview Wharf Workshops. They are beautiful, but it’s better to take a photo from the ferry, since the wharf is private and people are literally working in the workshops.

Throwback to the end of 2024 when we went to see @cirquedusoleil ‘s Luzia & enjoyed a VIP experience with bubbles, nibbles, and photos 🥂 If you can, go and see the show, it’s magical ✨

I tried the chia seed pudding (homemade: chia seeds, almond milk, vanilla extract) with berries yesterday and it did lower my blood sugar 🎉

Now the question is: should I repost all my content here?
There were great #ootd videos and photos as well as my entire trip to Italy 🇮🇹

Hello everyone,
I’m Ginie from Le Chic after 50. Menopause threw a curve ball at me and I put on 30-35 kilos. It was then extremely difficult to find something flattering to wear, or even my size in luxury fashion. My goal is to change that and to represent my age & body type in luxury fashion✨
