With the brilliant Bryony Gordon

With the brilliant Bryony Gordon after her open, honest and funny talk in the first of a series of " Live Well" inspirational talks at the Hurlingham club. . Loved Bryony and her no filter approach to life and being true and authentic to who she is. . That "we should all be kinder to ourselves" And "We should say NO more often" Were two of Bryony's thoughts that resonated most with me. . Most women are so self-critical and often feel they are not enough. But they are and should allow themselves to be who they are. That is why Bryony's Instagram is always real and never filtered and so is mine too- hopefully to inspire women of all ages. Never to try to be something they are not. Be individual and unique. . Great to meet you Bryony and have a chat at the end. . I really enjoyed listening to you talking spontaneously with no prompts, with your energy and joie de vivre and how you now embrace life sober and grab it by the balls. @bryonygordon . . . . . @hurlinghamvenue

@bbc5live @emmabarnett . Chatting about age- #BeAgeProud and being real on BBC5live at 10.50am this morning with Emma Barnett. .

@bbc5live @emmabarnett . Chatting about age- and being real on BBC5live at 10.50am this morning with Emma Barnett. . Why I no longer feel the need to fib about my age even when I reach another milestone birthday. Looking in the mirror each morning isn't always the best as i still feel like my younger self inside but the mirror tells a different story. . When we were in our teens or twenties, we aged ourselves up to appear more wordly and maybe to be taken more seriously by those older than us especially for career advancement. . However when we reached our 40s and onwards we fibbed and lopped years off to remain as long as possible in the previous decade. . Now that we look after ourselves better with a healthy lifestyle and diet, nutrition knowledge, fitness and beauty regimes, we can look our best and be proud of how we look naturally whatever our age. . I'm proud to look the way I do in my 60s. . Of course I would like to look like I did when I was in my 20s but I'll settle for being the best version of how I am now. . I've had amazing life experiences in my 60plus years and two wonderful children. Ive no need to fib any longer. . I want to inspire women of all ages. . . . . . .

A French website @aufeminin has written the nicest article about my Instafeed and how, as a 64 year old woman, I’m helping other women to be body confident and happy in their own skin

A French website @aufeminin has written the nicest article about my Instafeed and how, as a 64 year old woman, I'm helping other women to be body confident and happy in their own skin. . I created my Instagram to inspire and help women of all ages to be body positive and non-judgemental or super-critical of themselves or others. . And to see what we look like with no filters.. . No one is perfect. But we can all be the best versions of ourselves wrinkles, warts and all- everything that makes each of us unique. . C'est flatteur de recevoir ces critiques. Merci. And thank you to all my new French followers. . . . . .

The latest video of the @tuclothing @portasagency #allboobswelcome ad campaign

Your thoughts ladies??? .
Does this ad campaign help give you body confidence?
Feel better about your own body image?
Understand that no one is perfect ( unless they’ve airbrushed or filtered).
.
If I can undress at the age of 64 together with these other brave and confident women of all ages, shapes, sizes.. then you too should be confident enough to embrace the body you actually have.
.
Btw, I had no name for my boobs in this video.
However I actually did… I called them “my girls!” What do you call yours? .
@eliza_h
New work out today 71% of women felt typical lingerie ads appealed to men and we knew it was time to get real. We’ve had enough of Victoria Secret’s catwalks and unattainable photoshopped perfection. We took to the streets and cast real women of all shapes and sizes.
.
Today and over the next 4 weeks we’ll be celebrating diversity and encouraging women to embrace their bodies as they are. From “Lemon drops” to “Ant & Dec” we say .

Age is just a number!

Age is just a number! . Here is my 96 year old auntie, me age 64, and @misslucy_lou The Westie x Bichon dog. . Women of all ages can still be naturally beautiful, with no filters applied to enhance or manipulate. . Beauty comes from within and shines out when you're happy in your own skin, together with confidence, positivity and positive body language. . Being fake isn't beautiful. Being real is. Be the best you can be in your real life. . Love yourself and believe you are worth it. . Embrace all life has to offer and grab it with both hands and be grateful for everything you have. My 96 year old auntie does and is the funniest and most irreverent person I know. And she still likes to dress stylishly and glamorously whenever she goes out, always with makeup and definitely lipstick. . . . . . . .
