Positive ageing with Suzi Grant, the nutritionist with a passion for fashion.
One of my summer highlights is going to the the Three Friday Nights at Goodwood: eating, drinking, racing & raving! After seeing the Rolling Stones gathering absolutely no moss at their gig this year, I am even more determined that I will keep dancing no matter how old I am……….
You know that I love fashion, love vintage & re-cycling, and love dancing & walking....but I also want to be comfortable, as well as looking fab, when it comes to shoes and sandals. (I can't do that tottering around in heels thing for more than an hour nowadays!)………
I don't usually blog about gigs but having witnessed four men in their mid-seventies with a combined age of nearly 300, having the time of their lives on stage, I just had to share this with you as one of the best examples of positive ageing I have seen in a long time......
Another yummy recipe from the day I spent with fellow blogger Sara Delaney, trying out new dishes especially for happy hormones and a healthy heart. Sara does the superb photography, I do the cooking and we both get to do the eating! It's a very mutually beneficial arrangement! This one is our twist on a salad nicoise, featuring salmon and silver anchovies as the heroes..........
My main rule was and still is: asking myself if I have worn this item in the last 2 years, does it fit, and do I feel fabulous wearing it? If the answer is no, it gets binned and so an awful lot of clothes went to other homes........
I love trying out new recipes, especially ones brimming with health, so to spend the day with a fabulous photographer whilst cooking an untried dish from my favourite chef, and eating it, doesn't get much better than that! Add the mix of doing this in a stylist's home and it's quite the perfect day for a nosey blogger.
Here I am jumping for joy because it felt like Spring........and then the snow came! Those of you who've known me for a while know that for the last few winters I have been able to escape to Byron Bay to avoid the worst of the English weather. This year, sod's law, I stayed here, apart from three amazing weeks in India, and realised that I may have the best vintage coats in the world but absolutely no warm clothes to wear underneath...........
I love vintage style and I'm also a vintage lady, so a couple of years ago I started a hashtag on Instagram called #vintageladyvintagestyle 'cause I wanted anyone at any age to join in and show their gorgeous outfits off, vintage or non-vintage, especially if they're Over 50 and no longer feeling invisible! But I need to recruit some new members as there just aren't enough of us out there strutting our stuff..............
I was lucky enough to spend the most amazing three weeks traveling around India, straight after Christmas, spending a couple of days in Mumbai, eight days on the Maharajas Express visiting all the usual suspects in Rajasthan, a few days in Delhi and then a much needed week of R & R in Goa. It was awesome, the trip of a lifetime.......
It's that time of the year when we start thinking about booking a healthy holiday! So here's one I'd love to share with you. You know how much I love Ibiza so when I was invited to visit the new Mind, Body, Retreats for a few days last October, I jumped on that 'plane as fast as security would allow. What I didn't expect, apart from the awesome yoga, was relaxing, raw food & raving.........
We're likely to eat a shocking 6000 calories on Christmas Day, as well as an extra 500 calories every day on the run-up to the holiday, which starts earlier and earlier each year. By the time we reach New Year's Eve, we could be wearing an extra 5lbs around our tummy..........
For a little festive cheer, I've two little Chrissy pressies to offer you. The first one is this gorgeous Look Fabulous Forever eyeshadow in cocoa brown. Worth £15. Just sign up for my Newsletter, if you haven't already, and I'll pick a Subscriber randomly on the 17th December and send it to you, in time for the holiday (if you're in the UK), as a big thank you for your support over the last year.
