A few thoughts going around in my head I want to chat about and one which I’m bursting to share with you is about a book that everyone over 50 should own, read, re-read, digest, act on and know it’s going to either change your life for the better because it was the kick up the proverbial you needed or confirm and double down on what you’ve always thought and dipping in from time to time will keep you on the right track.

Have you been feeling a little more optimistic? Have you looked at spring flowers and more than ever before felt warm inside at the sight? Well, my inner Mama Moomin has definitely risen from her winter hibernation and is preparing for summer full of optimism

I had a great treatment in the week with the UK’s leading Holistic and Lifestyle expert Sarah Jones who is renowned for her TOUCH treatments.

What a night hosted by Deborah Mitchell as she unveiled the new products under her label Heaven Skin Care. I’m new to the brand but love it already it’s fantastic!

Over the last 2 years with the help of sun, and hot flushes, and using a high factor sun cream I was actually allergic to, I had developed blotches on my neck. Its technical term is Poikiloderma which is a pigmentation change found largely in women.

Well the lotions and potions arrived and I’ve been using them for the last 2 weeks. Most importantly I have a sensitive neck and chest area which seems to have developed over the last 2 years and I can only put down to age and the dreaded menopause which makes me fearful of putting anything on my skin which is going to enrage it.

We truly must be having one of the most beautiful Autumns on record.

I love this writer and she has a new book out. I’ve read all her others and if you like mystery, intrigue and romance, she will keep you reading into the wee small hours!

I recently popped into the Bliss Spa at the ‘W’ Hotel in Miami. The lovely thing about this chain is their consistency; wherever you are you know what you’re going to get. I came out with a product that made my skin feel so soft – it’s called ‘Hot Salt Scrub with Rosemary and Eucalyptus’. You rub in a circular motion all over a dry skin and then shower off.

I’m not one for weighing myself but due to my job I have to have insurance ‘Fit to Work’ medicals at the beginning of each contract.
