In today’s post I’m sharing Lumity Day & Night capsules, a two-part supplement system designed to support energy, focus and wellbeing during the day, while helping rest, recovery and overnight renewal at night. I’ll share more about the ingredients, benefits and why I am using them later in this post.
I was reading an article recently about the “Boomer Generation” (those born between 1944 and 1964). I fall into that age category myself, although I’ve never been particularly keen on labels. In my younger years I dipped into Punk, Goth and then New Romantics — think Duran Duran and plenty of ruffles — but I was never fully committed to any one style or movement. Even now, I certainly don’t think of myself as a “Boomer”.
My two grown up children, meanwhile, are referred to as “Millennials” (born between 1981 and 1996). I asked my son what the term meant to him and his answer was simple: “Social Media”. His generation was the first to truly grow up with it and, interestingly, they often seem to have the most cynical view of it too. Neither of my sons are especially interested in social media beyond chatting privately with friends.
Personally, I think the older demographic — the term I much prefer — is trying harder than ever to stay visible while reinventing ourselves with every decade we reach, certainly more so than previous generations were encouraged to do.
We now have more choice about how we live and work as we get older. Many people continue working well beyond traditional retirement age, whether through necessity, passion or simply because they still enjoy what they do. I remember, years ago, attending a retirement presentation for a colleague who really didn’t want to leave her job, but at that time she felt she had no option. Ironically, policies changed the following year and she later returned to work as a temp — much happier and thriving in her new role. Thank goodness attitudes have evolved and we now have more freedom to decide what later life looks like for us.
I’ve also seen friends rediscover passions later in life that had once been put aside because of work, family and everyday responsibilities. One friend returned to floral art years after first pursuing it and has since built it into a thriving business. The sense of fulfilment and confidence it has given her is wonderful to see.
Although many in our age group still have to work, I do believe we are more empowered than ever before and are approaching ageing very differently to our mothers’ and grandmothers’ generations. The vibrancy, individuality and confidence I see in older women today is inspiring — particularly among those proudly embracing exactly who they are. Diversity and visibility are slowly improving and it feels exciting to witness that change happening.
We all have different ideas about fashion, beauty and what ageing “should” look like, but I do feel we are challenging outdated stereotypes. There’s a growing sense of body positivity and self-acceptance which I find incredibly empowering, especially when outspoken women continue helping to make older generations more visible.
And with that in mind — in keeping with staying fit, healthy and feeling good at every age — I’m sharing some thoughts today on a few beauty and wellbeing products I’ve recently been using.
Lumity Day & Night Anti-Ageing Nutritional Supplements
I had noticed the Lumity adverts for a little while and was curious about their products. So, when they contacted me to ask if I wanted to try their supplements (one month’s supply), I was very happy to give them a go.
The supplements are a soft gel, two-step formula. Dosage is three in the morning, then three in the evening.
This is what Lumity say:
“ Lumity Morning & Night Female is a comprehensive supplement for women, clinically proven to support healthy ageing and deliver multiple benefits with targeted 24/7 nutrient-rich support. Backed by a community; stronger bones, muscles and teeth; plus, enhanced quality of life. Our unique twice-daily delivery system consists of two different teams of the highest quality nutrients. These work in tandem with the circadian rhythm at a cellular level to support the body’s different needs throughout the day and night. Contains a scientifically calibrated blend of amino acids, vitamins, minerals, quality omegas and essential nutrients. Get better as you age. ”nical trial, Lumity’s formula improves; skin, hair & nails; tiredness, focus, brain health & energy;
My Personal Experience:
Following a month of taking Lumity, my skin has a freshness. My hubby even remarked, saying that I looked well (I think he meant well rested and not my usual pasty “Winter worn” self!).
I didn’t see any notable difference with my hair, but I did sleep very well while taking them – slightly better than usual. I do think I would have to go on taking them for a longer period of time to see more notable differences. Plus, I have since read that, to see the full benefits, you should be taking the supplements for at least twelve weeks. So, I think I was just beginning to reap the rewards when the month’s course came to an end. I do feel my energy levels were improving.
The morning and night supplements contain Vitamin C and E, Selenium and Zinc – link to ingrediants.
Such a lovely dress and I love how you created a different look with jackets! So creative 🙂

Thank you so much! xx
I am enjoying reading regular blog posts. Helps make life normal. I will be shopping less for a while but will keep on the lookout for good deals on things that have been on my list. Right now, I added a couple things to my closet, a pair of sandals, a tee and enjoying creating a few new outfits.

I am too Mireille. We have to keep our lives as normal as possible if we can.
Stay safe.

Well better sleep and more energy is already great isn’t it. I think we, bloggers, need to post our usual posts. We don t want to read and hear all day long about Corona. Stay safe!

So true Nancy – watching too much News can send us doolaly. Stay safe too Nancy.

I took these for a month and I found I slept better too with them! I’m curious what the longer term benefits would be but I didn’t want to spend that much per month for them.
Author
Hi Laura,
I definitely slept better too – I would say a more restful sleep. There was definitely a glow as well. I would love to take them indefinitely but can’t at the moment – maybe in the future.
Take care and keep safe.
Alison xx
That’s a beautiful dress on you and I love the colours! 🙂 The supplements sound interesting! I take a general multi vitamin when I remember but I really should do it more regularly, especially now! With the big financial crisis a few years ago I saw lots of people re-entering the workforce after retirement – I think the experience is so valuable, it’s great your colleague could come back! 🙂
Hope that your week is going well 🙂 I’m continuing to work from home this week, and yes trying to keep up with blogging and my normal routine as much as I can!

Hi Mica,
Thank you so much. The supplements did seem to help me sleep more restfully and my skin improved. I may consider joining up to take them in the future . Financially I
Couldn’t warrant it at the moment as I work on a temporary basis and of course this has
been cancelled for the foreseeable future.
Take care of you and yours. xx
People like to label the generations for reasons I don’t quite understand. No generation is homogeneous. Technically, I’m a boomer (born in 1963). But while in America, boomers are blamed for the current state of events. Yet, I am far more liberal than most people I know, except for my husband who is 8 yrs older. Ah well, it makes some feel better to have someone to blame.
Beautiful dress, Alison! Personally, I think we need other things to think about rather than the virus. I’m glad you posted.

I dislike being labelled too. As all of our situations are different. I was in two minds whether
to post or not, but decided we need to try and keep things as normal as we can to survive this
situation we’ve all found ourselves in.
Take care xx
Alison, I am loving your floral dress and all the ways you have styled it. And your message is totally on point, too. We midlifers can still do whatever makes us happy and productive for we are just as relevant as anyone else! I just finished my 30 day supply of Lumity and I had the same results as you. I need to get writing my post about it now!

Thank you Shelbee. I definitely did feel and see a difference with Lumity.
Take care Alison xx
I have some Lumity products and really like them – I couldn’t have the supplements because they’re not vegan, but they assured me that they’re workng on that and kindly sent me some sknincare to try as an alternative. I’m agreement with you, I still want to read blogs and see nice outfits…we need all the cheering up we can get right now! I am conscious of not encouraging people to buy fast fashion though because some of the big companies that are still trading online have been criticised for not protecting their employees. I love shopping but now’s not the time…I have more than enough clothes! I love your floral print maxi dress – both jackets look great with it. Thanks for linking up!

Thank you Emma. I did find their supplements great but would have seen more substantial
results if I’d used for longer.
This situation our world is in is changing daily, so if I do post I feel more comfortable
giving helpful information that may be beneficial to someone.
Take care to you and your family.
Alison xx
These supplements sounds great. I would like to try it. Also your dress and how you style it is amazing.

I did see a difference – though I needed longer to see the full benefits. Thank you for the compliment, that’s
very kind of you – I do love this Laura Ashley dress . I bought it back in November with a 30% discount so
was a great buy and I’ll wear it a lot.
Alison xx
I have the Lumity cleanser and oil and I like that. Keep the posts coming! We will all get bored if we can’t visit each other! xx
Author
I’d love to try their other products as I’ve heard they’re very good. I know what you mean – the
situation is so strange at the moment.
Take care xx
This dress looks great with the blazer as well as with the leather jacket. Most dresses don’t work well with a blazer. But this does. Great find and styling. Love both looks. Thanks for joining the Top of the World Style linkup party
Author
Thank you Nicole. I managed to buy this blazer in the sale last year. I know I’ll wear it a lot. xx
Better sleep and more energy is everything for me. Everything else will follow if you will be able to rest properly. I’m glad that these products worked well for you. Thank you for sharing this post with My Red Carpet.

I found them great – but really needed to be taking them for a longer period of time, to see a difference. Sleep is so important
to me too! I’m not very good with little sleep. xx
Hi thanks for joining Muttonstyle Monday. I trird Lumity too but they are expensive. I was gifted them and said in my post that i would definitely use thr 7 day packs for travel. Im using the oil currently and have the cleanser for travel too.
Author
I did see a difference in my skin, plus, I seemed to be having a more restful sleep – but like you I couldn’t warrant the
extra expense at the moment. Maybe in the future.xx
Great dress, love it! Thanks for sharing on #chicandstylish Jacqui x
Author
Thank you Jacqui – and you’re welcome. x
Such a pretty pattern on you!! I would love to try Lumity. I’ve looked at it several times. Hope you’re having a great week!
Author
Thank you. Yes, I definitely experienced a difference. I only had one months supply – so would love to try it for longer in the future. xx
Lovely dress Allison! I have been wearing casual dresses here and there in addition to my phs and think I am Gen X? ( I dont really pay attention to labels either) Interesting to read what your kids think about social media. I am not thrilled with it, ecvept to promote my blog.
It was interesting to read about Lumity, sounds like a neat product.
I hope you are well.
take care, and thanks for linking!

My only social media platforms are Instagram and Pinterest. I much prefer Pinterest. I liken it to when I would play shops as a little girl and buy whatever you like – so cool. I did like Lumity, and may use it again in the future – though, at the moment I couldn’t warrant the
expense. xx
I enjoyed reading this, honestly the part about being made to stop working at 60 really struck me and I am so glad that is not the case any longer! At 52 I feel like I’m just getting started! Thanks for linking up with the Style Six!
