As you know, I was recently invited to do a talk on Alternative Ageing in Montenegro, at the Age of Happiness Festival, where I was lucky enough to meet and befriend the super Sarah Jane Adams, otherwise known as Saramai a fabulous looking woman who has over 43 thousand followers worldwide on Instagram, from 18 to 80 year olds, all of whom love her style and her hair…

I have just spent 10 days in Budva, Montenegro at The Age of Happiness Festival where I was invited to do a talk on Alternative Ageing for Well Over 50, the theme of our conference.  The audience was mainly Russian, 80% women, and the speakers & performers came from all over the world ranging in age from 51 to 97, and, apart from the disappointing weather, a VERY good & inspiring time was had by all…

I never knew this........I was worried about being away for 10 days with the same nail varnish colour and not a Gellux, or similar, salon for miles.  Well, just watch this video.  You CAN change the colour AND you can go back to your original Gellux colour!  Amazing. Don't forget it MUST be NON-ACETONE nail varnish remover.

This is my friend Charlotte.  She is 67!  Charl has never gone in for body wraps or special beauty treatments, & only moisturises after swimming! She eats a healthy but not faddy French diet: no processed or junk food, good quality protein, local fruit and veg and plenty of red wine (she lives in Paris), and she and her husband do the 5:2 diet nearly every week to keep them trim…

The skin is our largest organ and, just like the kidneys, liver and colon, it is an eliminating organ that gets rid of more than half a kilo (a pound) of waste and toxins each and every day…

My favourite supper for a 5:2 intermittent fast day, is ratatouille.  Hot or cold this yummy meal is easy, peasy and will give you well over your quota of five veg a day!  Packed full of vitamins and minerals this quick meal is perfect for the 5:2 diet at only 250 calories. Halve all the ingredients, apart from the oil,  if you want to make it a 125 calorie meal…
