Last Night the Hollywood Awards season continued with the Screen Actors Guild awards, where a suitably starry Red Carpet full of stunning dresses didn’t disappoint. Lady Gaga was once again the stand out star on the red carpet, although once again missing out on an award.

My remark back? What rubbish. There’s a definite school of thought these days that says life begins at 50, and even if you don’t buy into that yourself, life can certainly be vibrant, exciting and full of new positive challenges when you’ve blown out those 50 candles.

This can be when we enter passwords onto numerous sites that are both eCommerce and social media, enter credit card details as we shop and make bookings for hotels, holidays, concerts, in fact just about everything.
