Being scared of getting older, feeling pumped up and some great beauty finds.

I spoke about this over my Substack this week but, my word, the new series of And Just Like That has made me feel really scared about getting older. What happened to the dynamic, powerful women from Sex and the City - I want them back! Also, my latest weight loss update is one I wasn't expecting. The pump from the gym feels great but after weeks of feeling leaner, it's surprising to feel swollen all of a sudden. Oh, and some incredible beauty finds: Self Glow by James Read Yepoda Porefect Pads L...

Trolls, Defending Jeremy Clarkson and How to Look Online.

This episode is brought to you by a migraine. If it feels all over the place, it's because I'm all over the place today thanks to a humdinger of a migraine that's left me feeling like a slightly lopsided, cloth-tongued, weepy-eyed wimp. With that said, there are things to discuss. Such as the reaction to my weight loss, why I want to defend Jeremy Clarkson and why being slightly 'perfect' online gets more engagement. From the woman who this afternoon posted a 'fashion' reel on Instagram with smu...

I had to ask myself this when I realised I was back at my Weight Watchers goal weight from 2010. Will it feel different this time around knowing that my weight won't immediately start to creep up again and because the journey has been far more than weight loss and more about personal discovery and fee...
