We all know that Sales are held to make you buy things you didn’t know you wanted and probably don’t. But find me someone who can resist a Sale which includes items with amazing prices?
An aware woman in the 55Plus bracket. If that’s you, I’m wondering if you will be sweet and kind enough (I know you will!) to answer a few questions for me? Please?!
Have you noticed how many courses there are about writing blogs? Most of them extol the virtues of blogging (of course they do … they want you to buy the course!) and give you 5 ways (or 7 or 10 or whatever) to monetise what you write.
I’ve been writing blogs for over 10 years and have never ever made 6 figures in one month and these lovely creatures do just that … 6 figures … constantly … from their blogs! I’m obviously doing it wrong …
I’m going to start by saying sweats, flushes, flashes, whatever you want to call these side-effects of menopause can last through to your 80s. You didn’t want to hear that, but it’s true. At 73 I still have hot flushes and they’re almost as bad now as back in my 50s.

Having said that (and I’m hoping I didn’t rain on your parade), the most important thing to understand is that whatever your shape, the bag is about creating balance.
A little about menopause, perimenopause and even post-menopause. Some of this you will know but I hope there are a few take-aways for you to help with the experience of potentially one of the most challenging parts of your life as a woman….
