If you take on the challenges that life offers you, they can take you to exciting places

If you take on the challenges that life offers you, they can take you to exciting places. . When life offers you an opportunity outside your comfort zone seize it with both hands and go for it. . I have just done this. . Many of my age would not. I'm 64. They would say " You're brave, I wouldn't do this, but well done." . Watch this space. . I am going to be part of an exciting campaign that is something I would never have considered doing a few years ago. . I'm braver now and I have to walk the walk and talk the talk if I am going to inspire and bang on about positive body image, confidence and being yourself whatever age, shape or size you are with no filters. . Be bold. Be brave. Be you. . . . .

We all need some downtime to reboot each week

We all need some downtime to reboot each week. This includes a weekly Pilates class for me. . If we keep our bodies reasonably fit and eat healthily, then when we are super busy we are still able to cope when life becomes stressful. . This is an exercise from my Wednesday physio reformer pilates class. . This Pilates exercise strengthens arms, helps the movement and flexibility of a tight upper back, works the tum, core and glute muscles, the inner thighs and needs balance to be able to stand, twist and bend over. . It's more difficult than it looks, especially when it's done slowly with control, holding out the platform steadily before returning it back in. . . . . . .

Dont be self critical

Dont be self critical. No one is perfect, whatever your age. Dont believe the filters. No celebrity I have ever styled has been perfect. Embrace your flaws and love yourself. . . . . .

Today’s School speaker talk on Social Media and Body Image for year 6 girls (10 and 11 year olds) this morning

Today's School speaker talk on Social Media and Body Image for year 6 girls (10 and 11 year olds) this morning. Discussing what's real and what's not. Filters and self image, self confidence and body confidence. How to make social media work for you in the future and not become addicted and have anxiety. Thank you to @ursuline_prep school. Loved interacting with your girls. They were beautifully behaved, interested and interesting, and asked me loads of questions after my presentation talk and told me some of their personal stories which all had positive endings. . . . . .

Today’s Stripes

Today's Stripes. Sloppy, Sunday comfy dressing. . My posts are always non-filtered and exactly how I look that day. . It shouldn't be necessary to filter, Facetune, or create a social media enhanced perfect version of yourself. . NO celebrity or client I have ever styled or dressed for the Red Carpet has had a perfect body or skin. You can always aspire to be the best version of yourself but your imperfections are what make you unique. . Be confident enough in your own self-image and body-image to not judge or compare yourself to others, especially others' fitered Instagram posts. They're not real. . Tshirt dress: Primark Sweater: Zadig and Voltaire Metallic trainers: Superga Specs: People . . . . .
