What do you think, is menopause body odour a thing? Do we sweat (and smell) more as we transition through perimenopause and menopause? I've certainly noticed it, it's another one of those things we can put down to hormonal changes, and it isn't just because of hot flushes, which I've never had (night sweats yes) but my body temperature has changed and I no longer feel the cold as much as I used to. Excessive sweating, especially underarm odour, seems to appear even right after showering and using plenty of good shower gel! So why does it happen and how can we ensure we stay fresh right up to the end of the day to give us more confidence?

Life lately has been busy, full on, exhausting but all good ... we had a few days away in Tarifa in Spain (you can read my post about it here) which was a welcome few days of sunshine and downtime. I am busy planning a road trip to Scotland, we are going to do (most of) the NC500! The North Coast 500 is a 500+ mile route around the tip of Scotland, it is considered to be one of the most beautiful road trips in the world! And I can't wait! We are going in late April so should be spring weather, expect lots of Instagram content and of course a blog post when I am back. I had a mini panic last week, I really want to visit the Castle of Mey and we are staying in that area until 31st April but I found out it doesn't open to the public until 1st May! Changing the itinerary was going to be difficult because accommodation gets booked up very early and part of our trip is a PR invite ... so I emailed the Castle of Mey and found out they are open for private tours! Phew, all booked! So having been super-busy I've not had as much time as I would like to write on my blog, but I decided I needed to make time. Taking up a lot of my headspace right now is the refurbishment of our 'spare room / my room / the dressing room' and my husband is working very hard to put in new fitted wardrobes (using the viral PAX hack from IKEA) and decorate. I am working very hard planning all the soft furnishings and choosing paint colours - pretty good deal, no I don't decorate! The Cotswold Company has just opened in Marlow and it is gorgeous, I remember many many years ago dreaming of. being able to furnish my home from The Cotswold Company and although a complete re-furnish isn't in our budget, I am loving choosing my accessories, cushions, candles, pictures, baskets and more!  Enjoying the amazing sunny days we had last week! Outfit details below! Menopause is a natural stage of life, but that doesn’t mean it’s always easy. Hot flushes, night sweats, brain fog and mood swings are just some of the symptoms that can make this transition challenging. Many women look for natural ways to support their bodies during this time, and one option I've been sent to try is from Feel and it is their new Pro Menopause. This daily supplement is designed to help manage menopause symptoms using plant-based ingredients and essential nutrients. I'm taking a closer look at what it offers and whether it could be the right choice for you. This is a sponsored blog post.

If you’re in your 40s or 50s and feeling frustrated with your weight or energy levels, you’re not alone. The truth is, our metabolism shifts as we age, and understanding these changes is key to maintaining a healthy, balanced lifestyle. I know I've noticed a lot of changes, especially in the last year or so, I am now 58 and weight loss has become more difficult, the age-related changes to my body composition due to hormonal changes can be frustrating and I need to make adjustments to my physical activity, the number of calories I consume and learning what my new healthy weight should be! Listening to podcasts and learning about new research really helps educate me and the good news is that we can combat the midlife weight gain, shift the extra pounds and despite a slower metabolism find a new healthy balance.
