I don’t know about you, but unless I use body lotion daily my skin goes really dry, especially on my legs. I’m always on the look out for lovely lotions that not only do the job but smell good too. ( I don’t wear perfume so my body lotion is it ). And of course, I want it to be …
How to Avoid Bloating and Indigestion
Ok this is going to be a bit like a biology lesson so get a nice cup of tea, snuggle up and concentrate. Digestive enzymes are very important and decline rapidly with age, stress, if you don’t chew your food properly or if your nutrition is poor. Fortunately you can take Digestive Enzymes as a supplement and I now take …
The Importance of Bacteria
Bacteria have been on this earth longer than humans and were indeed one of the first life forms on the planet. They are very resilient and have even been known to flourish on manned spacecraft. We tend to think of them as gross, dirty and bad. Some, indeed, are very dangerous but others are vital to our survival and to …
Why I Should Choose Organic Cosmetics
I’ve written about the dangers of toxic chemicals in skin products and how I switched to natural products in the 1990’s (which was quite a challenge as there wasn’t much to choose from). Now there are so many of these products that it’s all quite confusing. However, the quality of these products varies enormously. Many of them have good ingredients …
An Interview with Julia Hunter – Vitamin C Powder
As many of you already know, I love Dr Julia Hunters’ skin products. They’re a lot more therapeutic than most products and I’ve had fantastic results with them. If I had to choose my most favourite, effective product it would have to be her vitamin C powder. It made such a visible difference to the skin above my eyes (although …
My Personal Anti-Ageing Journey
Since I started this website, one of the most frequent questions I get asked is to know more about what I do, what I use and what is my secret because surely there must be one? Do I think it’s my genes? And the answer to this is…every single thing I have written about or posted on this website is …
The Latest Organic Skin Products
Since I started this site, I regularly get sent skin products for me to try. Much as I’d like to try them all, it would wreak havoc on my skin if I did. I also have my own routine with my own products ( I’ve written about my favourites) and don’t like to disrupt it too much. So it takes …
Meditation is Easy
I really don’t know what took me so long! Right under my nose, under my very feet is one of the best meditation teachers around….my husband. He may be an actor but he has also been a meditator for many decades. He has taught some of the toughest people on the planet in some of the toughest prisons in both …
The First Year of Ageless
Since the launch of this site just over a year ago, I have posted close to 100 articles. Phew! Not a week has gone by without one and for the first few months there were 2 articles a week. We have covered so many different subjects ranging from the benefits of turmeric to hair loss to the pros and cons …
Keeping the Weight off over Christmas
It’s just inevitable isn’t it? Days of overeating, drinking, slouching on the sofa, TV watching marathons and the pounds piling on. Lovely to let go like that for a week or so but not great to start the new year feeling bloated and in need of a diet. Probably the number one New Years’ resolution is to start a diet. …
The Versatility of Coconut
This summer drinking coconut water became the thing to do. It was everywhere, in gyms, supermarkets, health food stores, train stations, even corner shops. It was one helluva take over. I myself, was swigging it non stop in the 3 months I was doing Stepping Out (a dance show) which was very thirsty business. It’s more hydrating than water we …
I’m Not Grumpy I’m Just…Hormonally Challenged
There’s no escaping it. Sooner or later we ladies get mugged by our hormones. If you happen to have teenage children, or more specifically a teenage daughter at this particular stage of your life……then good luck! As one friends’ daughter said to her, “You didn’t time this very well, did you??” Quite frankly it seems hugely unfair that woman having …
