Feeling a Bohemian vibe wearing this new Zara dress

Feeling a Bohemian vibe wearing this new Zara dress. . I could be pregnant with twins under it - but that would be a miracle - - or hiding any number of things under its volumes of fabric. . It's not a sexy dress or a flattering dress for anyone with boobs as it hangs straight from them - but it's cool and airy with a fun print and vibrant colours that bring joy to the wearer. . Is it too young a dress to wear at the age of 66? Who cares - I am enjoying wearing it. . When we enjoy and feel good wearing a particular item of clothing - we as women - feel confident, positive and empowered. . This is a happy dress. .

Sometimes we all need to focus on ourselves with a little self-care when life has been super-stressful.

Sometimes we all need to focus on ourselves with a little self-care when life has been super-stressful. Especially at this time of the year. . My go-to treat is the rejuvenating non- invasive BDR facial. Administered this time by Veni- the owner of @le_boutique_spa in London NW1. She was excellent and very professional in her attention to detail. Many of her clients are French which says a lot about how good she is. I' ve always found that French women are especially particular about their beauty regimes. . My no-makeup, bad hair selfie- with newly glowing skin was taken straight after the facial. I'm with Veni who is her own best advertisement as an aesthetic clinician. . Before the Summer I had my first four BDR facials at the also excellent @eleniqueskinclinic in Fulham. I like trying out various beauty salons and clinics which have been recommended to me. These initial treatments made a significant difference to my skin quality, deep wrinkles and sun-damage pigmentation. . The facial includes peel+ dermabrasion Microneedles + serum Massage + LED . . . . . . @welovebdr

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. . . . . . . .

Last day Day #7 @grayshottspa

Last day Day @grayshottspa . First day in the gym with personal trainer John. You will see my efforts in future posts... A mix of HIIT and strengthening exercises particularly for the quads. The glutes and hamstrings and core and are working well together from my pilates fitness.. . And... . What was it that French man Jann Moix wrote today about women over 50 being too old to love? And that women in their 20s are the only ones worth dating. Well I'm 64 and still going strong so he's talking a load of old tosh. . . . . .
