I am constantly struck by how menopause was positioned back in the day. One pill and voila; life returns!

‘Transition without tears.’ In only minutes…. Says it all, right?!

Wednesday Bubble: “Severe depression? Apathy? Psychomotor retardation?” How about a bennie?

Every now and then, a post deserves a second viewing. This week, I’m bursting the bubble on more vintage advertising. Nothing like an upper for the mid-week blues, right?

“In the severe depressions of the menopause, marked by apathy and psychomotor retardation…”just use a bennie. You’ll be speeding through your day in no time! (And will probably lose that extra weight too!)

Really! What WERE they thinking?!
