Hacks I’d gatekeep…
I’m not gatekeeping any of these 🤫 These
are the things I genuinely wish more women knew about midlife. Swipe ➡️

Confidence over 50

Hair — Your hair changes
The hair routine that worked at 30 might not work at 50. Mine definitely doesn’t! Fine, midlife hair needs a little more TLC

Hair over 50

SPF 50
If you only take ONE skincare tip from me, make it this one. SPF 50, every single day — 365 days a year. ☀️

Mature skin over 50

Strength training
One of the biggest changes I’ve made in midlife: I stopped exercising just to be smaller and started training to be STRONG. 💪🏼

Makeup — Stop covering mature skin
More makeup doesn’t necessarily mean better makeup. Great skin prep + lighter layers = fresh, healthy-looking skin that still looks like YOU. ✨

Makeup over 50

Hair volume — Start at the roots
Fine-haired girls, this one makes SUCH a difference. Get the roots lifted and dry first — that’s where your volume starts. 🙌🏼

Possibly the most important one of all… ❤️
Stop waiting for “best”.
Wear it. Use it. Book it. Do it.
THIS is the occasion.

6 weeks. One new hip. And what a difference six weeks can make! 🦿🤍 🩼

From those first tentative steps on crutches after my total hip replacement, with my little Maine Coon recovery team keeping me company 🐾, to getting back in the gym, travelling to London, getting my hair done and finally getting dressed up for a party… it feels SO good to be getting my independence back.

My hip replacement recovery has been about taking things one day at a time — resting when I needed to, doing my physio, gradually rebuilding my strength and, most importantly, not rushing the process.

I know I’m still recovering, but looking back at where I started six weeks ago makes me realise just how far I’ve come. ❤️

If you’re waiting for a hip replacement, recovering from one, or you’ve already been through it, I’d love to hear about your experience in the comments. And if you’re at the beginning of your recovery, save this to come back to. 🤍

From dull, flat and seriously overdue a salon visit… to the clean, creamy blonde of my dreams 🤍

I’ve known @LisaShepherdHair for over 25 years, and when it comes to creating beautiful blondes, she really is one of the very best. A former British Hairdresser of the Year and three-time British Hair Colourist of the Year—my hair is always in the safest hands.

Lisa used Schwarzkopf Professional BLONDME to create my perfect blonde, followed by the new K18 TripleBright purple shampoo foam for that beautifully clean, creamy finish.

We kept my length and added a blunt, extra-long fringe at the front, giving me shape and movement without making my fine hair look any finer. I absolutely love it!

If your blonde needs bringing back to life, I can wholeheartedly recommend a visit to Lisa’s beautiful salon in Stourport-on-Severn.🤍

Save this for your next hair-colour inspiration ✨

5 weeks.
One new hip.
And my first trip back to London 🤍✨

From PJs and crutches to getting dressed up and heading to Chelsea for the @cloudninehair event ☁️

Recovery isn’t a race, but yesterday felt like a pretty big milestone — and it feels SO good to be getting a little bit of normal life back.

New hip, who dis? 😂

What do you think when you notice a new social media trend?
This one has really captured our imagination, celebrating
midlife friendship, humour, girls’ nights out, friendship confessions, oversharing, funny friendship moments and all so relatable.

When “I don’t know if I’ve ever told you this before…” turns into complete oversharing 😂

Nothing beats a girls’ night out with the friend who knows far too much! Tag the Pippa or Tracie in your life or just quietly send it to them 😉👇🏼 taken in London, United Kingdom by @traciesedit

It’s been WAY too long since I did a hair video… 💇🏼‍♀️✨

And confession time… my hair hasn’t been cut since FEBRUARY 😳 I know, I know… as a former hairdresser I should know better! 😂✂️

So the timing was perfect when these @mdlondon goodies landed on my dressing table.

I put the 1 Primer + 2 Blow Out Spray to work — prepping, protecting and helping me get that smooth, bouncy, full-of-volume finish I love. ✨

Hair content is officially back… and yes, I WILL book that haircut! 😂🤍

Apparently there are lots of things we’re supposed to stop doing as we get older… I seem to have missed the memo 😂

At 57, I’m far more interested in doing what makes me feel good than following rules about how I should look, dress or behave.

Getting older is a privilege — and I fully intend to enjoy it. 🤍

4 treatments. 20 minutes each.
And this is my result at 12 weeks ✨

I wanted to wait until the full 12-week mark before sharing my EmFace results — and I’m so pleased with the difference.

My main concern was the loss of firmness through my cheeks and lower face, particularly my jowl area and marionette lines. After a course of 4 treatments at Dermoperfection, I can really see that my face looks more lifted and supported, while still looking completely like me 🤍

No needles. No downtime. Just 20 minutes per treatment.

If you’d like to know more about the treatment or book a consultation, contact @dermoperfectionuk and mention that you saw my results here.

Girl to girl… I’m only telling you because I’ve learnt a few things about hair over the years 🤍

And one of the biggest lessons? Your hair changes — so the way you care for it needs to change too.

As we get older, hair can feel finer, drier, more fragile and simply not behave the way it once did. I know mine has changed, and I’ve adapted the way I look after it too.

For me it’s the little things that add up — looking after my scalp, being mindful of heat, being gentle with wet hair and remembering that what I put IN matters just as much as what I put ON.

Most importantly, I’ve stopped expecting my hair today to behave exactly as it did 10 or 20 years ago.

Work with the hair you have NOW and give it what it needs. 🤍

Save this for your next hair wash day ✨

There comes a point in life where you stop worrying about fitting into one box.

I’ve been a model, a business owner, an event producer, a live TV presenter, a beauty advisor, and now a content creator. Every chapter has taught me something, every challenge has shaped me, and every reinvention has brought me closer to the woman I am today.

At 57, I’m not trying to turn back the clock. I’m investing in my health, looking after my skin, embracing new opportunities, and proving to myself that the best years don’t have to be behind us.

If my content inspires just one woman to believe it’s not too late to start something new, then every reel, every event, every early morning and every leap of faith has been worth it.

Here’s to writing new chapters… because I truly believe we’re never too old to reinvent ourselves. 🤍
