“YOU’VE BEEN CRITICISING YOURSELF FOR YEARS AND IT HASN’T WORKED. TRY APPROVING OF YOURSELF, AND SEE WHAT HAPPENS”. - Louise Hay Are you your own worst critic, I know I am mine. No one would be as hateful or as mean to you as you are to yourself. If someone else spoke to us like we do ourselves we would walk away, I hope, but we are stuck with ourselves for life. I love this audio by Kate Winslet and how she has always been so authentic and gone against the so called perfections, Hollywood expects. I have been working on my body, not because I want to be “skinny” but for the strength and for my health, joints and bones, I never want to lose my curves. What I do need to work on this year though, is my mind, be kinder to myself, and accept me for me. People can tell me I am attractive but I see this strange looking woman in the mirror, long face, big nose and bad teeth. Any insults I have ever received have never gone away, told by one so called friend she was beautiful and I was in her shadow, by another that I looked like a man in drag. I need to accept my face, and embrace the compliments I am given and not hold on to the mean comments. I feel I might go down the road of therapy for this as I feel 2025 for me is not just about being physically stronger but also mentally stronger. Loving yourself is not egotistical or narcissistic but important and is treating yourself with the empathy and compassion you would show a friend. 💕 #youreenough #youareworthy #youareworthit #womenempowerment #womenempoweringwomen #midlifewomen #midlifestyle #womensupportingwomen #womensupportwomen #midlifeinfluencer

“I MAYBE A WOMAN OF A CERTAIN AGE BUT I WILL NEVER BE INVISIBLE”. - Nikki Shore (me🤣) I love this audio by @WelcomeToHeidi and it so hit home. Every decade as women we are judged and expected to be at certain stages in our lives and hitting so called milestones. If we haven’t met our “life partner” or had a child by the time we are 40 we are treated as some kind of failure in society. Some women don’t want children and shouldn’t be judged for that and some for either medical or other reasons and we shouldn’t question why. After not meeting my husband until I was in my late 30’s I had my son at 40 and was called a “geriatric mum”, men are having children in their 70’s and I’ve never heard them called a “geriatric dad”. I am questioned a lot on why I only have one child. This wasn’t my choice and I would love to have had another but age and financial reasons put a stop to that but I shouldn’t have to justify why or explain. We are definitely seen as invisible in our 50’s and seen as aged out. The menopause changes us both physically and mentally and society looks at us differently. So many women leave corporate jobs, including myself, due to loss of confidence, increased anxiety and memory loss and companies not having procedures in place to help and support us. We have worked hard all our lives and most of us have had to do the lion share of the childcare over the years so it’s destroying when we are put on the “scrap heap”. I don’t earn enough on brand collaborations to live comfortably and apply regularly for local part time jobs which I barely even hear back from but I have a lot to give and I refuse to be put out to pasture. #womenempowerment #womenempoweringwomen #over50women #overfifty #midlifewomen #midlifewoman #womensupportingwomen #womensupportwomen

THE INTERIOR DESIGN TREND I AM LOVING RIGHT NOW IS…… decorate your home for you and don’t follow trends. Whether you are a maximalist, minimalist or middlemalist, love colour or prefer neutral, you do what makes you happy and brings you joy. Trends come and go, and our style evolves so It's important to have pieces that are timeless and look chic rather than changing with every trend that comes along. As soon as you have decorated the trend could be out and another come along so you would constantly be decorating and not find your true style. I love timeless vintage pieces that I know I will have for years and years and as they were made so well they will stand the test of time and mix with new pieces. Do you decorate for you? #maximalistdecor #eclectichome #colourfulhome #maximalistinteriors #moreismoredecor #housetour #hometour #eclecticdecor

“SLOW DOWN AND EVERYTHING YOU ARE CHASING WILL COME AROUND AND CATCH YOU.” - John De Paola Well hasn’t it been cold 🥶. I do enjoy on a cold day the odd lazy one. Chilling on my sofa, getting on with my emails, watching some old Golden Girls episodes and snacking. Love a slow but productive day 😂💗 #homebody #homebodylife #cosyhome #ilovemyhome #beingathome #homelifestyle #apartmenttherapy #maximalistinteriors #eclectichome #colourfulhome #ukhomestyle #ukhomeinspo
