Excited to be chatting to @stephanddom on @talkradiouk today, Saturday morning 11.45am

Excited to be chatting to @stephanddom on @talkradiouk today, Saturday morning 11.45am . Topic is getting ready and packing for your Summer holiday hols. Everything from beauty to style and if you are like myself, how we girls like to pack for eventualities, those what if moments, often preparing days or even weeks in advance. I found that most men can't understand this as they often simply throw a small bag together on the morning of departure. . I'm currently on my own staycation in the Isle of Wight. Sunhats, sun protection cream and all Summer wardrobe from tropical to wet weather included. . Love to hear your thoughts on what you do too . . . . .

Difficult to know what to wear when the weather changes from hot and muggy to cold and rain

Difficult to know what to wear when the weather changes from hot and muggy to cold and rain and you're sitting outside the restaurant for dinner. . The way forward seems to be mixing Summer and Winter wardrobes. . Chanel-style cotton rib dress from Zara (Summer 2018) with vintage leather jacket. . Photo seems to be slightly out of focus. Think the photographer may have had one drink too many . . . .

Every so often we all need a digital detox. . Even if we don’t feel or have social media comparison

Every so often we all need a digital detox. . Even if we don't feel or have social media comparison anxiety, we can still feel a need to post daily so we don't lose followers, and our followers don't lose interest. . So if I don't post every day, please don't get bored and disappear. . My Instafeed is real, not filtered, hoping to inspire, and may not always be real time as I'm not out every day and night. . I'm often in many evenings on my own watching TV. My life can even be quite boring, mundane and even lonely. . That is something that most people would not want to admit on their social media. . I'm currently in the middle of writing a novel which is nearly finished, and that requires huge discipline, no distractions, sitting at my laptop with all emails and social media switched off. . So today I've posted a bare-faced, no-make-up selfie pic of my 64 year old me. Just as I am. No filters. This is me. . . . . . . .

It’s pouring with rain today but yesterday was beautiful

It's pouring with rain today but yesterday was beautiful and all that was needed for the best sun protection was a big floppy hat, sunglasses and Altruist factor 50 sunscreen for the face, and Altruist factor 30 for the body as seen with @misslucy_lou . Altruist was developed to be both effective in protection and affordable by a dermatologist and skin cancer specialist. Affordable - so we all buy and use our sun protection products more. . I love the ethos of this brand. Not only is it less expensive than most of the other big brands out there but also % of every tube sold goes to charity to help Albino kids. . . . . . . @altruistsun

2nd guest speaker talk this week For Mental Health Week

2nd guest speaker talk this week For Mental Health Week The topic is Body Image and Social Media For BNP Paribas Leasing Basingstoke. . I love doing these speaker talks for organisations or schools. If I can inspire or change the mindset even of just a small percentage of my audience it's all worth while. . I want both women and men to aspire to be their unique best selves, to not aspire to be like the images that they perceive to be the reality on Instagram social media posts. . I'm wearing: A current season £29.00 Zara dress. I replaced the plastic red belt it came with, with a Gucci one. I like to mix affordable High street with occasional Designer accessories. Orange ballet shoes Zara past season. . . . . . @bnppleasing
