How I'm styling a satin slip skirt from The Style Story, a beautiful style boutique at Sunninghill4/2/2024 Back in early November, I was invited over to leafy Sunninghill, a pretty village close to the more famous Ascot in Berkshire. I'd been introduced to Lauren who runs a small style boutique in the village - The Style Story is a cross between a personal styling studio and a traditional fashion boutique. And Lauren herself is welcoming, friendly and incredibly stylish, with a background in visual merchandising, she started her career by studying at The London College of Fashion and The Fashion Retail Academy. Walking into her beautiful boutique it is clear she has an eye for both fashion and interiors and she has created an incredibly beautiful space and is clearly an expert at choosing just the right styles to stock both online and in-store at The Style Story.

What a year that was! How was your year? I feel like I lost myself a little during the second half of 2023, I won't go into it all again as I really hate being negative and want to embrace the positives. I also appreciate that. however tough I have found life recently, there are others in a far worse position. But if you missed my post previous post then you can read about my determination to get back to self-care and deal with a very low period in my life here.
BUT .... a new year, a blank diary and lots of possibilities await. First goal is to allow myself time to rest, make the most of a quiet period and not take on too much! I did an online Intention Setting Workshop with my lovely friend, and life coach, Chloe Leibowitz last week. And my biggest takeaway to share, start small, Rome wasn't built in a day. It is very tempting to get carried away with setting massive goals, inspired by all the sparkly, energetic and enthusiastic influencers on Instagram, but we are all different and lead very different lifestyles, different energy levels, budgets and time available to us. So make sure you remember, you are you, you are unique and beautiful and absolutely do not need to compare yourself to others. Do you use a word for the year? I've been doing it for a few years now and I find it really helps me focus my mind, rather than new year's resolutions, having one word is a simple reminder of things you want to do! One single word will help you to set your goals and intentions, everything you hope to achieve, can relate back to your word - keep it visible, I like mine to be the starting point for my vision board and I will also print off a quote to pin to my fridge! This is an entirely personal post and one that I have wanted to write for a while, but a busy work schedule, sponsored blog posts and life generally kept getting in the way! I'd love you to read it, but I also appreciate it is probably only of real interest to family, friends and others born at Shardeloes in Amersham! But if you are intrigued, here goes ... I love family history and it is so important to record these memories or they soon get forgotten.
Earlier this year my dear dad was enjoying a walk on Old Amersham High Street and happened to go past Amersham Museum, in their window was a big display all about the 'Shardeloes Babies' and so my dad went in to find out more! My mum was born at Shardeloes on 14th June 1944 and so she is a Shardeloes baby and this is her story. With 1 in 2 of women experiencing a vaginal infection in their lifetime, and many more getting recurrent UTIs especially in menopause, it is something that we need to all be aware of! Sadly many women are dismissed by their GPs and not given the help they so desperately need. Urinary tract infections (UTIs) become more common in menopause due to the physiological changes that take place. It's not an easy time!
I personally have not had recurrent infections, but the one or two I have had were uncomfortable enough! My article shares information on how to prevent a UTI in menopause including a review of V-Health a new natural supplement from Feel Recurrent UTIs come under a set of symptoms known as Genitourinary Syndrome of Menopause (GSM) and they can severely impact on our quality of life. Depleting hormones means that the delicate vaginal ph is no longer present which can allow bad bacteria to flourish. So what can we do to prevent recurrent UTIs and better care for our vaginal health and can Feel V-Health help with that? This is a sponsored post. |
