Women don’t become less interesting, less relevant or less fabulous simply because another candle gets added to the birthday cake. Too Fabulous to Be Forgotten is a celebration of women who are ready to be seen, heard and remembered, at every age.
This is a space for embracing confidence, personality and all the wonderful things that make you uniquely you. We’ll talk about challenging the idea that women should become quieter or less visible as they get older, celebrating women doing incredible things, finding new passions, sharing opinions, taking chances and continuing to make their mark on the world.
It’s about wearing the style that makes you shine, being in the photos, starting the business, booking the adventure, joining the conversation, trying something completely new or simply walking into a room knowing you have every right to take up space.
You have stories worth telling, experience worth sharing and plenty of fabulous moments still ahead. So forget fading gracefully into the background. Be bold, be curious, be wonderfully yourself and, most importantly, be impossible to forget.
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.
It seems to me that one of our major problems today is that we take ourselves too seriously. Particularly when it comes to calories and the counting thereof …

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….
Last week I wrote an article about feeling tired after meals. If you’re a blogger you will know there are a lot of things you’re supposed to do to attract readers and one of them is using numbers For example 10 Reasons why … or 5 ways to do … or The 7 Best ways to …
Looking better in beige?
I don’t think so! Gloomy, depressing, negative. UNLESS you have tawny skin and wear a slash of red lipstick.
This is PART II of younger or better …
If you’re still on the fence on this one I hope you’re not getting splinters! Have you still not decided whether it’s best to look younger or better? In my experience, which is vast and which involves working with women even older than I am, the minute they start the better approach, they just look younger.
Keeping a journal about our beauty products isn’t something we think about doing. Not for skin care or makeup. I have certainly never done so but in review it seems to be a good idea. No more buying something that gives you a rash … you’d forgotten about that hadn’t you?!
I don’t know how you feel about the way things look at Christmas but for me, and the rest of my family, the décor and table look were paramount in the preparations for The Big Day. My mother, who was always incredibly well-organised, had everything out ready to be used about a month beforehand! We didn’t worry whether it was eco-friendly or not … because it was!
If I were to sum up the overall emotions of 2020/2021 that seemed to affect us all, I would have to say the loudest scream of anguish was reserved for frustration … the sheer unadulterated frustration of pretty much everything!
