Lucy the westie x bichon wanted to be included. .
A great haircut makes you feel good and can renew self-confidence, self-esteem and positivity.

Rejuvenated with my first haircut for 3 months after the Summer.
A good haircut is better than any new dress or shoes.
Makes you feel so much better.

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. .

Stripey Sunday

Stripey Sunday.

Needed to wear colour as it's such a grey day today.
.

I like to mix High street with Designer. The cashmere sweater was an M&S sale bargain.. Bought in size 20 (  so I can wear it big and sloppy-I'm a 10/12) .
