POSTS STORIES REELS TAGGED
Welcome to my page 👋🏻 

Let’s get one thing straight…

Hitting your late 40s, 50s and beyond even, doesn’t mean you have to disappear, fade into greige and keep apologising for your existence. 

I started this account because:

🔥 I still like looking good.
🔥 I still want to try new things.
🔥 I still have stuff to say… and I’m done whispering it.
🔥 I’m not done, I’m just getting interesting.

This space is for anyone who’s ever thought:
“Wait… is this it?”
Spoiler - It’s not.

I’ll be posting about (attempting to anyway!)

- My silver journey, pro age inspiration & midlife myths
- My outfits - some good, some chaotic, all me
- My furbabies, the loves of my life (much to my husbands dismay)
- Trying new things (and not always nailing them)
- Trying to get into the shape of my life (an ongoing never ending battle)
- Confidence, laughter, a bit of rebellion, my general thoughts, ramblings and musings!

If you’ve ever been told to tone it down, act your age, or quietly fade into the background, follow along. 

Join me in giving the middle finger to the clichés, the stereotypes, and the naysayers!

Growing up…
we were told sexy had an expiry date.

Yeah… NO.

It’s not about age.
It’s how you carry yourself…
how you look at the world…
how you own your space.

Save this as a reminder…
or send it to someone who’s finding themselves again.

Deep Sh*t 💭
From the loo… where Mariah Carey starts playing way too early, if you ask me!

At what point does “getting in the spirit” turn into “losing the plot”?

We’re sipping pumpkin spice in September and putting trees up in November like it’s a race to the North Pole.
Shops are blasting Christmas tunes before we’ve even finished Halloween.
Even Heart FM’s got Amanda Holden campaigning for Christmas songs on the morning show… much to Jamie Theakston’s dismay (I’m with you, @jamie.theakston !)

Maybe we’ve stopped celebrating Christmas… and started competing at it.

So, when do you think it’s actually acceptable to deck the halls?
In my opinion… December 1st, and not a second sooner.

As if you missed it! 😂

But here’s what didn’t make the polished IG Tenerife highlight reel…

Me whacking the iron off the ironing board, which landed on my foot, opened up a gash and fractured two toes.

Yes, I was drunk.

The hotel flannels took the hit… covered in blood. Funnily enough, we weren’t given any more flannels for the rest of our stay. 😂 Obviously this wound me up daily. #flannelgate

I was tempted to nick some from the gym (they had rolled chilled flannels in the mini fridge, along with fruit and other boujie stuff) BUT my solemn promise to go to the gym every day lasted approximately 48 hours, so that didn’t happen.

I wonder why?

Saying “we’ll just have one” with absolutely no evidence from the previous 49 years to suggest that was likely. And then, obvs, everything goes out the window.

Including eating so much on numerous occasions that breathing became my exercise!

And then there are the 784 photos I took in order to present you with these 14, because apparently I now think I’m fucking Condé Nast.

Anyway. Life lately: Tenerife edition.

The bits Instagram forgot to mention. 😂

There’s no shame in feeling yourself… and in these trousers, I really did!

Normalise being absolutely f’ing delighted with yourself.

@noughtsandkisses understood the assignment. 🤍

In case you were wondering…
There isn’t one. 😘

Feel sexy. Be sexy. And don’t let anyone tell you otherwise.

If this hit a nerve, share it. Someone else probably needs to hear it too.

7 colleagues. 60 hours. 500 beers. 4000 margaritas.
A lot of sore heads.

Barcelona, you were a blast 🇪🇸

Some think it’s radical that at “our age” we take selfies… and god forbid, post them!

The radical act isn’t taking the selfies.
It’s refusing to immediately tell yourself why you look shit in them.

I found these photos from last year and my first thought was: Fuck, I love these.

Why are we still so uncomfortable saying that?

Appreciate the woman staring back at you.

Take the selfies. Keep the ones you love. Look at them.

And when you think you look hot?

Say it.

It isn’t arrogance.
It isn’t vanity.
It’s liking yourself.

You’re allowed to.

I reckon we could all do with a bit more of that.

Reminder…

No cannibal wants a heavily tattooed woman.

Too chewy probably 😌

The rest of you? 
Stay safe out there this weekend 😏

No immediate plans to become more sensible. 😏 You???

Share this with another saucy queen who’s old enough to know better… and has absolutely no intention of doing better!
