This is a relatively short list and is, as you would expect, to do with aging. Or not aging. Or at least slowing the process. It is a list of 10 attitudes or thought (mindfulness) processes we can use to de-stress.
We all know stress is a major factor in aging and is almost as bad as the sun, smoking or excess alcohol for making those little lines worse.
As you go down the list (which will be expanded in another article!), you will see that the 10 are not just common sense but eminently controllable.
I don’t think of myself as a control freak but I’m sure it’s in there somewhere … waiting to leap out and bite me … using these 10 as my guide I can continue along my merry, totally-in-control way! Who am I kidding?!
Right, here we go … this is the list of acquisitions we should choose to make …
A relaxed attitude to organisations who seem determined to do you wrong.
We all know who they are and we know they single us out individually …
Caring about the planet
Good for us as little peeps, on every level.
The desire, the ability and the wherewithal to speak up … at last
GO FOR IT …
Control of your life
… it’s yours for the taking!
Saying NO … without an explanation
My personal favourite
Not worrying overly about the way you look
Works really well since lockdown …
Becoming fearless
An oldie but a very goodie goodie …
Living your own life
Stop living withing the expectations of others
Giving TIME the time to heal
Perhaps this should be top of the list?
Wearing shoes that are comfortable
YESSSSS!
While you’re on a roll, why not acquire some new hydrating skin care. That will do you the world of good … mentally, physically and emotionally. A dewy complexion is not just heart-warming but lowers our stress levels too if we’re over 55
I’m starting with Patchology Resting Beach Face which is available as a kit … a fabulous soothing sheet mask AND a hydrating lip gel.

Patchology have a lot of masks. I haven’t tried them all but the Resting Beach Face is my fave!
Peter Thomas Roth Cloud Cream Cleanser is one of the nicest cleansers I’ve ever used.
Smooth and creamy and very effective … cleaner than clean!
Peter Thomas Roth Water Drench Hyaluronic Cloud Cream Hydrating Moisturizer
Creamy and soft; you can feel the moisture as your skin slurps it up …
Says it provides 72 hours of moisture … and it does! With a name that long it would have to …
3W Clinic – Collagen Sleeping Pack – Marine Collagen – Facial Care
When you apply to your face it feels as though you’re just splashing on water … brilliant.
Another long name … no prizes for guessing this is a sleep mask, but unlike anything you’ve used before. It feels as though you’re giving your skin a glass of water. Which you are!
Please let us know if you try any of these and send us your review.
