I found 10 blogs for women of a certain age that I thought you might be interested in reading.
I plan to check them out as well, and also list them on my Lovely Reads navigation page at the top of this blog.
These female bloggers write for older women like you and me.
As an older woman, you may feel invisible when you go out in public. Sometimes it feels as though older women don’t merit a second glance.
But there are female bloggers out there who are steaming right along on a path of their own making. Their blogs help to bring inspiration to older women like you and me.
Important issues for women our age is obviously menopause, nutrition, and living our best lives.
Recipes, chic outfits, entertainment, skincare, and beauty advice are important to women of all ages.
I used all this criteria for choosing what I thought were the best blogs with lifestyle topics to list here today.
Some are considered fashion blogs. But I won’t hold that against them!
The List Of 10 Blogs For Women Of A Certain Age:
- A Well-Styled Life by Jennifer Connolly is a popular blog about fashion. Jennifer is a retired personal stylist and image consultant. She is also a wife, mom, and grandmother who likes to share ideas about fashion, beauty, and all things that can make life enjoyable at this age.
- Cindy Hattersley is a blogger specializing in residential interior design. She also features fashion for women over 50, self-care, and beauty tips. And she enjoys entertaining as well.
- Inspire My Style by Candi Randolph is about fashion, aging naturally, as well as home and lifestyle. Candi says: “I write for women like you, about the things that impact me and my life as I age, because I know they affect you, too.”
- Prime Women is for the ageless generation of women who don’t dress, think, or act like women in previous generations. Dorothy Miller Shore’s successful site is reportedly one of the best lifestyle blogs in the world.
- Sixty And Me is a blog written by Margaret Manning. She also has a YouTube channel called Sixty and Me where she regularly uploads new videos on various topics including makeup, fashion, reinvention, health, etc.
- Style At A Certain Age According to Beth Djali: “Aging is a privilege, but as Bette Davis famously claimed, “It’s not for sissies. Once we hit fifty, changes begin with our hair, skin, and bodies. It’s up to us to keep fit both mentally and physically. It’s not about looking younger; it’s about looking our best.”
- That’s Not My Age by Alyson Walsh strongly believes that it’s not about age, it’s about style. She began her blog in 2008. That’s Not My Age has been at the forefront of a movement empowering women and calling out ageism and sexism.
- WOW (Women’s Older Wisdom)by Pat Taub is a blog for women over 60 that speaks to the realities of growing old. It was Pat’s dream that WOW offer a place for older women to exchange personal experiences, wisdom, humor, and resources. “All so we can age with dignity and not feel so alone in the process,” she wrote.
- 1010 Park Place was voted one of the Top Ten Blogs for women over 50. You will find like-minded women and relevant conversations about finances, fashion, music, and food. There are interviews with inspiring women and straight talk about health, divorce, the death of a spouse, sex, etc.
- 50 Is Not Old by founder Tania Stephens is about reinvention. Tania says: “At the ripe age of 55, I reinvented myself and became a blogger, even though I didn’t know what being a blogger meant.” She started 50 Is Not Old in September 2015 and is still going strong.
How I Chose These 10 Bloggers:
Their blogging styles were of some importance, but I chose them mostly because they had information on their sites that would interest you and me.
Sixty And Me is a blog that is doing well in the money department; certainly above my pay grade. So don’t let anyone tell you that you have to be young to begin blogging and make money.
Successful Women:
I imagine that the other bloggers are financially successful as well.
This list is merely a testament that what it takes to be a successful blogger is enthusiasm, spirit, and showing up regularly. In other words, a successful lifestyle blogger writes and posts consistently.
Regardless of their age!
I’m honored to be a blogger over 60. It has meant the world to me to have all of my readers be a regular part of my life for the past 15 years. For me, blogging is a labor of love.
I hope you will enjoy any or all of these blogs written by fab women over 50.
I’m going to make some time later today to go through these links. Thank you so much for putting together this list! One that I found recently is called Getting On Travel, which is written for and by women over 50 who like to travel.
What a fun list, Brenda! I can’t wait to check these ladies out…being in the “older woman” club now myself. I read a lot of blogs, but I really enjoy the ones from women I can relate to…thanks!
I watch some of them, will check out the others. You should try you tube Brenda.
I absolutely love your blog and have for years. I have visited some of the blogs you recommended even before today. They are great and inspiring. I am 76 and facing issues of ageing in other areas. I found a wonderful blog written by a super smart lady of 100 years of age. It’s called Engaging With Aging. https://engagingwithagingblog.wordpress.com. It’s much different than the others, but it’s positive and engaging. Keep posting your recommendations. Sandra
Thanks so much for the research and the great list. I do like the content on Sixty and Me – I like a variety of things in a lifestyle blog from recipes to home dec and garden ideas, to books and health. I have seen some of these blogs over the years but currently do not subscribe to any on the list. That all being said, I think your blog is as good or better than any on this list:)
Thanks for the list, Brenda. I love blogs by older women. I am thrilled to think some of them are making a living at it!
I hope you have a wonderful Wednesday. xo Diana
Thank you for researching these blogs and sharing them with us. I’ll be looking them all up and I’m sure I’ll find many new to me blogs to follow!
Thanks for compiling this list for us. I’m now officially in the “older woman” club, having just turned 60 this August. A friend recommended Sixty and Me to me recently and I get her daily emails that have posts to articles that us older women might be interested in. Will be checking out the others you listed.
Hello Brenda,
Thank you so much for researching the bloggers. I look forward to checking them out. You are appreciated!
Wow Brenda,
thank you for this list! I’m sure it was a lot of work.
I appreciate you and your blog. Currently the only one I am reading.
I managed to leave two photos out, so had to redo the post with another collage and change the number of bloggers from 8 to 10. I don’t know how I managed to get that so mixed up.
These look like some wonderful blogs to follow. Thanks for sharing Brenda. xoxo Kris
I hope you enjoy one or all of them.
Thanks Brenda…nice idea of you to share these people too!!
Just wanted to give you something else to read.
I follow A Well Styled Life and I’m looking forward to checking out the others you have listed! Thank you for posting them!
She sure has nice clothes.
This list looks great, Brenda, thank you. I’m sure I will enjoy reading all of them too. Looking forward to your you tube list as well.
I just had to redo the collage because somehow I left two bloggers’ photos out! It’s fixed now though.
Thanks for the list of bloggers today. So hard to find blogs of interest and this list is great. I already am reading a couple of them for a few years but glad to add a few more to my list. And you have found some interesting ones for us older women.
I’ll keep looking for more.
Thanks. This is a great list.
You’re very welcome!
I am definitely going to spend some time reading each and every one you’ve referenced. Thank you so much for taking the time to search and make a list.
Enjoy your day, Brenda. I’m headed out to run a couple of errands and I hope they don’t take too long. LOL
I know you like to go out about as little as I do, so I hope the errands don’t take long and you’re home and happy.
Brenda,
Thank you for your hard work in putting together this list. Thought you might like to know the link for number 1 on your list, A Well-Styled Life, goes to number 2, Cindy Hattersley.
Thanks!
Thanks! I’ll go fix it.
It’s fixed.
I will definitely check out the rest, but here is a plug for Sixty and Me! It has a slew of wonderful articles and is very much updated all the time! It’s one of my every morning go-to’s along with yours!!!! So YES to that one!
Oh good! If you have others you’d like me to take a look at, just leave the name of it here.
I love to checkout the bloggers you showcase on your blog,I just enjoy reading about different lifestyles,decorating styles and places I’ll probably never get too.
I think we’re very different than our generations that came before,who really had a kind of “cookie cutter” existence, kept homemaker skills pretty much the same,treated husbands with extreme difference, no one worked outside the home,even dressing up to go grocery shopping seemed to be the norm.
I love to find them too. I spend a good amount of time scouring the internet for new-to-me blogs. When I first began this blog, I used to have Friday’s Welcome Wagon, where I shared new blog links to get them out there.
