Countdown to my 50th Birthday - being fifty and fab

13/12/2016

0 Comments

 
So it's only 2 sleeps to my birthday on Thursday then my party is on Friday!  I appear to have a sore throat/head cold which I am desperately trying to ignore in the hope that it will go away!

I started my blog to connect with others, to document my life and share my thoughts and ideas, I wanted to be fifty and fab and I wanted to share that journey with others and maybe inspire other like-minded women.

Writing my blog is not my job, it is a hobby, I am in awe of all the wonderful, slick blogs out there and I love seeing the instagram photos but I am not quite up to that standard yet although I hope that my blog does reflect real life.  If I post an Outfit of the Day on Instagram it is genuinely taken that day of what I am wearing whilst running around doing chores and it is usually snapped on my phone by my daugther, in the garden and hoping for enough light to get a decent photo!

So where am I now in my quest to be fifty and fab?

  • Well I have worked hard this year to get my figure back to a place where I am happy and comfortable.  I have lost over a stone in weight and about 20" and I am fitter and leaner.  I am going to continue this journey.  I want it to be my way of life.
  • Beacuse of my nutrition overhaul my hair is thicker and in better condition and my nails are stronger.  I have regular keratin treatments on my hair and I get my nails done every 2-3 weeks.
  • I am back to being petite.  I am 5 ft 2" and a size 8 (mostly).
  • I saw a stylist and had a wardrobe consultation and I hope to gain more confidence in my style as I move into my fifties and get better at buying less but higher quality!  
  • I am having my make-up done at the Bobbi Brown counter at John Lewis for my party and I hope to pick up some new tips for a bit of a make-up overhaul.
  • I'd like to up the glamour stakes a bit really!  I'd like to be able to have the confidence to dress up more for every day life and not just save things for best.
  • I am going to do a blogging course early next year and learn more about 'how to' do it properly.  I want to master twitter!

​My fifties are giong to be differnt for me - my children are grown up.  My son is still living at home but working full time and my daugther will soon be starting A levels and then onto university if all goes well.  I will have more free time, more 'me time' and I want to use it well.

I hope you will stick with me and follow my journey and that my followers can gain some ideas and pick up tips from me that might just inspire them too.

Love
Michelle xx
