Had great fun at QVC on the 2nd March. Party atmosphere thanks to John Barrowman livening up proceedings and Howard and I thrilled that our Yoga Secrets DVD was a sell out. Looking forward to doing more! Got to film with the charming Brendan Gleeson on All you need is Kill. I was a mere cog in …
Favourite Natural Skincare products
As I’ve written before I prefer to use products on my skin that are either organic and/or with as few synthetic chemicals as possible. We’re so lucky that these days we have such a wonderful range to choose from. Here are some of my favourites that I have used at different times over the years: Neal’s Yard They are true …
Organic Pharmacy’s Rose Balm
When I met Margo and Franco Marrone from the Organic Pharmacy the other week, they were launching their new Rose Balm. I have since fallen in love with this little pot of heaven. I have become addicted to the glorious smell (rose infused with argan, calendula, rose hip and more) and have no idea what people must think of me …
Organic skincare
So, in the far mists of time (November 2012 when I launched this site), you may remember me banging on about natural unprocessed food? Well, after my conversion to organic eating in the 80’s (a lonely path foraging for the small amount that was available), it was inevitable that one day it would occur to me that perhaps I should …
Laura Geller (couture jewellery designer and beauty products creator)
The essence of my life is living with appreciation and enjoying every moment. Having family and friends close by to share my life with. Always being proud of my accomplishments and living with passion in all that I do! Realising some days may not be all that you hoped for, but also knowing what beautiful possibilities you can make for …
Strategies to promote healthy and flexible joints
You don’t have to be old to suffer from joint pain. I was 18 when I started to get lower back pain and in my 20’s when I started to get problems with my knees (ok that one was probably my fault as I was jogging on hard surfaces). However it only gets worse as the years go by. The …
Woman and Home
Here I am in March edition of Woman & Home. Had a fun time with all the lovely people there. The shoot itself literally took 10 minutes (the quicker the better I say) and I was beside myself with excitement that I got to wear jewellery from my favourite shop Van Peterson!
It’s All In The Mind
Here psychotherapist Joan Kingsley advises on how to keep the mind young. Watch out for the bit about exercise! I don’t want to say I told you so but ……..I just can’t stop myself…..I tol….phew, stopped myself. (such control huh?) And the bit about using those brain cells? Glad to see that challenging myself doing this website has done me …
Article in Daily Mail
Thank you so much to the Daily Mail for putting my age in their headline! (for the sake of clarity, I am dripping with sarcasm). Of course they were always going to put my age in the article ( UK press obsessed with woman’s ages) but since I turned 40, my age has featured in umpteen headlines. The first time …
Non Invasive Skin Tightening
I should imagine that most mature(ish) women, and frankly even immature ones, crave tight, sag-free, dewy, glowing skin, free from wrinkles and age spots. I would also imagine that most of these mature/immature women are rather less keen on actually going under the knife to achieve it. We live in an age where much of this is achievable. Hoorah!!!! At …
I meet Margo Marrone from The Organic Pharmacy
I was really excited to meet Margo Marrone and her husband Franco who started one of my favourite places, The Organic Pharmacy. I loved that you could drop in and have a homeopathic medicine made up on the spot and that you could chat with the homeopath or chemist on duty about any ailments and come away with all kinds …
Help for Anxiety Disorder
Stress is one of the scourges of our age. Most people feel stressed some of the time but many people feel it nearly all of the time. Living in a city is stressful, driving is stressful, working is stressful, not working is stressful and finances are most definitely stressful. This state of constant stress takes it’s toll on our general …
