I recently did something which was a little bit out of character for me, but I am glad I did it. I shall explain.

I noticed in my mum’s copy of the Daily Mail that they publish a weekly article about women who look pretty good for their age, along with their health and beauty tips. So, as I have quite nice hair and teeth (all my own) and have been told that my skin is good for my age, I thought I would send a photo in. Well, would you Adam and Eve it, they only got in touch and asked me to come for a photoshoot!

All very exciting! I went along to the Daily Mail HQ in Kensington, was styled and made-over, then had my photoshoot (it still makes me laugh to say that) and, lo and behold, I am featured in the ‘Inspire’ section of today’s Daily Mail.

Actually, I do agree with some of the comments in the on-line article, that I look all of my 54 years. But I am quite glad about that in all honesty. I think that I look me, the same me who has had all the experiences – good and bad – that I have had, a pretty rough year with regard to family stress, but also some decent times too. It shows on me and that’s how it should be.

I also think I look, to coin a French phrase, ‘happy in my skin’ and that’s good.

Sometimes it’s not such a bad thing to put ourselves out there,
everyone should have their five minutes of fame!

Best wishes to all,
