last night was a fun flash back. it’s inevitable that you lose touch with a few friends along the way but a 40th celebration brought me face to face with those buddies last night. Not totally blurred by the cocktails, I just couldn’t get over how we all looked as young as i had remembered us at uni. Are we better looking now? Are we better dressed? or was it just a really dark room? either way, it was amusing to reminisce as well as catch up. And a real relief to know that we are all aging well….

how much does sorry mean?
sorry seems like such an empty word, I feel perhaps we should banish it from the english language. there are a million other ways of saying and showing that you feel awful for any wrong you have done. a great girlfriend of mine had to meet up with the ex so that he could apologise to her. surely that was only to make HIM feel better?
then there are those who can only say sorry followed by ‘but’. they are inexcusable.
so here are my guidelines for delivering an effective apology:
– write it down (takes more time, thought and care)
– try not to use the word ‘sorry’
– explain your actions and why they were wrong.
rather fittingly, more than 100 years ago, Douglas Horton, a US clergyman commented: being sorry is the highest act of selfishness, seeing value only after discarding it.
menopause isn’t all bad news.
I was ‘introduced’ to the menopause (earlier this year) aged 39 as I needed to have my ovaries removed for genetic reasons. With open arms, i have welcomed the opportunity this brings me: to buy creams and remedies to soften the hormonal void.
There is no doubt my new post-ovaries life wouldn’t be so fabulous if I hadnt been introduced to Kim at the Specialist Pharmacy http://specialist-pharmacy.com/ Kim blends the specific hormones you need into a bespoke bio-identical HRT cream which I apply each morning/evening onto my inside arm. From there, it is absorbed into my blood stream (the skin is particularly thin there) and bingo! I feel great!
Another cream i wouldnt be glowing without is Jason’s Organic Wild Yam Cream. Wild Yam is often promoted as a ‘natural alternative’ to HRT because of the phyto-oestrogens it contains. Spotted in Samantha’s suitcase in the second Sex And The City film, this was a key part of her anti-menopause skin strategy. And is now part of mine….
