MY ‘WHY’… 🤔
This past weekend I spent time thinking about my ‘why’.
Alongside a role in the world of corporate - I’m currently working on a few projects, which at times can be a tad overwhelming and where I hear myself asking God if He’s sure He’s got the right person for the job! 🥴
However what keeps me going is my ‘why’.
Those of you who know me well know I’m a huge advocate for health, movement and simply aging well.
One of my existing whys is that over the past twenty years - or more - I’ve observed a fear, even dread of getting older amongst many women, and the stories that was coming from those who’d passed certain milestone ages was, quite frankly, NOT pretty! It was no wonder why so many fellow females coming after them dreaded maturing! 😔
As I watched some from afar, and some more closely, get tearful, even depressed about reaching significant birthdays such as their 40, 50 and even 60th birthday I was determined that this would not be my story or experience! … in fact I was so excited to be 40 I had three celebrations 😂
Now that my 40, even 50th year of life has gone, I am DETERMINED to change the narrative about female aging! Call it being a disruptor or whatever the trending word is now; but whatever it is I want to see positive change in this area. 💫
A change in attitudes towards female health in women in every aspect, for those aged 35 and beyond - and most certainly a consistent positive change within female beauty standards with regard to aging.
So if you see me post certain reels, stories or comments pertaining to the beautiful process of female aging - just know that this is WHY I say and do what I do; because I NEVER want to be part of the reason why younger women coming after me fear or dread getting older. Ever. This - is my why… ❤️

GET MOVING!!! 👀
To reset something in our lives can feel and look different to us all.
For some, it can mean a shift or pivot, whilst to others it may involve a minor tweak to an existing system or routine you currently adopt.
A reset doesn’t have to mean a complete overhaul, a change of environment or life as we know it… instead it may involve an assessment of what we’re currently doing, how we’re living our lives and what simply requires revision. 🤔
If you’re ready for a reset - think what needs restoring, or even reestablishing; what potentially needs to be recalibrated and rebooted. Taking inventory of each aspect of your life, your health - even your circle - and looking at each one in turn will help you to realistically identify what still works for you and what requires change. 📝
Trust me - a reset need not be this big scary life event, but simply a closer look at what (and who) still serves you and allows you to walk in your purpose and God given calling. 🤗 Why not start your inventory today 👌🏾

THE RESET I NEEDED! 😮‍💨
I’ve recently returned from a fantastic retreat in beautiful Norfolk and am so glad I went! 🤗
This women’s retreat - as hosted by .h.e.ministry - was just what I needed. It allowed me to drop the titles, the escape the rat race and simply be still!
The amount of DMs and enquiries I got about this event after sharing some of the beautiful surroundings on my stories wasn’t surprising either! I’m already excited for the next event! 🤸🏽‍♀️

SKIN TLC 🫧 🧼 🫧
I recently travelled to Rhodes, Greece, and thoroughly enjoyed the setting, the company and the food! 😋
However, I also enjoyed the sun… a bit too much! 😩
Despite the cooler temperatures and less obvious heat than I’m used to holidaying in - I got sunburn! Yes me - Miss Protect Your Skin! 😮‍💨
I noticed that the skin on my forehead, chin and lips were particularly dehydrated, so rather than slapping on anything I focused closely on what my skin was telling me so I could help it RESET. 👌🏾
As we age the skin is already lacking moisture, so it’s important to ensure we do all we can through our skincare regimen, skin hygiene and nutrition to help it be at its healthiest.
The images in today’s post shows the key products I’ve been using (alongside nutritional changes) since my return to help fortify and lovingly restore each and every one of my skin cells. 🤗

INHALE… EXHALE 😮‍💨
Earlier this week I attended a lovely spa in the city of London - a gift that my delightful team at work had blessed me with last year for my birthday - yes, last year - January 2025! 😩
As I sat and waited in my robe and slippers for my massage therapist to collect me - I suddenly became tearful.
I was tired, exhausted in fact. Reflecting on the fact that I didn’t even make the time - to take time out for myself was disappointing. I promised I would do this more - and I hadn’t. 🥺
As I climbed onto the couch, I exhaled - and loudly.
It was then I realised how much my body needed to RESET.

RESET. Unwind mode activated…

Weekend feels 💭

“RESET; an instance or period of doing things differently”.

Today I had all sorts of things planned, and to be honest the Spring sunshine was a huge incentive to get outside! 😀
However I didn’t - I stayed in.
I rested, I reflected and I took the time to reset.
Best decision ever… ❤️
When’s the last time you took the time to reset?
