Nothing to fear
Nothing to Fear Menopause is Here It can be tricky with or without the facts. Media, marketing, influencers, endorsers, organizations need funding et cetera, which may mean information leans towards supporting different brands, ideas, views and products for financial gain. Also Google with caution. I continue to be a student of science, preferring to read…

Midlife menu
Whether we gain it or lose it seems to be a never ending conversation. Better to re-think or re-frame. Strong, fit, healthy and happy. Midlife brings changes and challenges. Yes our body shape may change. Change is welcome, but not all. I think it’s important to like the reflection I see in the mirror. If…

The 2nd half
Peri, meno and most importantly post menopause gives me much food for thought. More years behind me than in front. The big question is. Am I living the life I want? Grateful to say yes, however a Hermès Birkin wouldn’t go a miss!! “None of us gets out alive” don’t worry I’m in a hurry…

Style
“Fashion changes, but style endures.” – Coco Chanel Has your style changed? I have to say mine definitely has. The biggest change was towards the end of my 30s when I left the corporate world and embraced skiing more. I’m much more casual these days. I’ve switched from high heels to mid or kitten and…
