Like we did throughout our lives, ‘boomer’ women continue to push the boundaries when it comes to getting what we want.
And what we want is for our sex lives to be as vibrant today (well, almost as vibrant) as they were decades ago. So we’re leading the conversation about sexual health, and thankfully, brands are stepping up to deliver products that promise to help give us the best sex lives possible.

If you’re one of the 2 million women reaching menopause this year, you will likely experience distressing symptoms like hot flashes, sleeplessness, mood swings and night sweats, which are triggered by decreasing levels of estrogen in your body. Fortunately, you can find relief in a number of ways, including the all-natural herbal supplement Femmerol®.
Menopause is personal. Menopause is unpredictable. Menopause is disruptive. But, above all things, menopause is natural. As you transition into this next life stage, no one will better understand how it affects your body or be a better advocate for your health and wellness than you.

Why do we need multivitamins? Because 9 out of 10 American fall short in getting essential nutrients from food alone, according to “What America’s Missing: A 2011 Report on the Nation’s Nutrient Gap”, a study created by Milk Processor Education Program and the Dairy Research Institute™.
URGE (noun): A strong desire or impulse; need; wish
Life would be pretty boring if we didn’t have urges. We’d no longer dash to the supermarket, right before it closes, for a pint of mint chocolate chip ice cream, or book a trip to Paris on the spur of the moment. And sex wouldn’t be much fun, would it?
We sure can live without certain urges, however, such as the sudden urge to pee, especially if we’re having a hard time “holding it in.” Instead of motivating us, urinary urges can literally stop us in our tracks. If you have them, like I do, you’re far from alone: Half of all women in the U.S. will experience some type of bladder dysfunction in their lifetimes, according to the Agency of Healthcare Research and Quality Review.
40% of those over 40 feel uncomfortable driving at night. Are you one of them?
Driving at night, especially when it’s raining, can be particularly hazardous for drivers over 40 with vision problems. Changes to our eyes occur gradually, over many years, and we may not even notice them until the cumulative effect kicks in and our vision isn’t what it used to be.
As we age, our pupils shrink and don’t dilate as much in the dark, which reduces the amount of light entering our eyes. This can even make it seem as if we’re wearing dark sunglasses at night.
Brought to you by DerMend Moisturizing Bruise Formula
Let’s face it—our skin has changed a lot over the years. It’s sagging, it’s dry, and it’s thinning. Fortunately, we have more “help” than ever to keep our skin
looking beautiful.
We want to hear your thoughts on your skin—every person who answers this poll will be entered to win 1 of 2 $50 Amazon.com gift cards! Tell us what’s on your mind.
Bye bye, bruises.
Our skin thins over time, which means our natural barrier against bruises does, too. Even a little bump can result in an unsightly bruise, so it’s important for us to do everything we can to protect ourselves! Fortunately, our friends at DerMend have developed a fabulous formula, rich in ceramides, retinol, and arnica oil, to help restore the skin’s natural barrier and help defend against future bruising.
FOF Jennifer tried the formula and loved it: “I saw definite improvement in my skin the first day I used it. By the third day… 
I was sold!”
FOF Julie said: “DerMend helped my bruises and my spider veins! My skin also felt so soft after using it.”
Now is your chance to win a tube to protect your skin. Use DerMend ($29.99 for 4.5oz) twice a day on your arms and legs to help replenish damaged skin and help prevent future bruising. 10 FOFs will win!
Win a set of Wicked Sheets bedding (Value: $129.95-$184.95)!
“Get them while you’re hot!”
…says Alli Truttman, inventor of Wicked Sheets, a company whose luxurious feeling bedding is designed for women who suffer from night sweats.
Made of the same silkweight poly-blend fabric found in athletic apparel, the sheets have special pores, just like our skin, that absorb sweat and keep us comfortable and cool throughout the night. They feel as good as sheets with thread counts of 600 to 700, are wrinkle free, come in white and breezy beige, and fit twin to California king mattresses.
Get Grounded Footwear is partnering up with FabOverFifty this spring to give away its innovative grounding sandals! When we first heard about the sandals last year, we asked Justin Donoghue, 3rd Planet’s COO, to explain the concept of grounding and to tell us how Groundals can benefit our health.
Now, 3 lucky FOFs have another chance to win a pair of Groundals ($49.99 with free shipping), in the size and color of their choice.
See real FOF reviews of Groundals here.
Featuring 3rd Planet’s proprietary Terra-Technology® (a type of vinyl with a grounding additive), Groundals are contoured for comfort at our feet and to provide traction on the soles. They currently come in gold, silver and black, but additional colors will be available in the future. Sizes are medium, medium-large and large.
