Realise your dreams

Realise your dreams. Have you seen the movie "The Book Club"? Funny and so pertinent to so many women over 50. Often we lose who we were, whilst caring for our familes, being too busy, or feeling guilty. It's never too late to start over and realise your dreams.. You only have one life! . . . . . .

Healthy lifestyle tips

Healthy lifestyle tips. Here are 5 tips for a good digestive system and improved gut health which is the key to your general optimum health and well being. I subsitute oatcakes for bread when I'm craving a healthy carb fix, especially eaten with unpasteurized cheese (a healthy gut likes unpasteurised cheese and fermented foods as friendly bacteria and probiotics keep your microbiome happy and healthy). . . . . .

Friday’s veggie brunch

Friday's veggie brunch. Midday today, 16 hours after yesterday evening's last meal at 8pm. The 16hour fasting time gives the gut and body time to have a break from digesting food and if continued 2 days consecutively can help weight loss, gut health and overall wellbeing. . . . .

Saturday night dinner entertaining

Saturday night dinner entertaining. My supper party last night was a gaspacho starter with added chopped cucumber and croutons to add texture to the cold soup. Then this home-cooked paella. The rice was cooked in shellfish stock (lobster, mussels, chicken, garlic and onions in the vegetable water stock), and chicken thighs roasted first with crispy skin, chorizo, prawns, mussels, squid, and some sliced peppers to decorate. I served it with a green salad. Cheeses and strawberries and cream for pud. . . . . . .

My home-cooked meat-free veggie Bank Holiday weekend cooked breakfast

My home-cooked meat-free veggie Bank Holiday weekend cooked breakfast. Eggs from the local farm shop chickens, seeded wholemeal bread from the Island Bakery with rather a generous spread of organic butter, wilted spinach, beef tomato slices, avocado and mushrooms. I always eat breakfast or brunch straight after working out, or doing any fitness or exercise. Healthy mix of carbs and protein and good fats. . . . . . .

2 more of my age 50plus ladies Styled by me for the @lookfabforever TV commercial

2 more of my age 50plus ladies Styled by me for the @lookfabforever TV commercial. "Act the age you feel" is the look on the left and "No olds barred" on the right. When you reach age 50 and beyond don't become invisible by dressing to fade into the background. Be bold with colour and design but always dress to flatter your bodyshape. . . . .
