Firstly, what a privilege it is to keep getting older and celebrate birthdays. But also, I can’t wait to step into a decade that I feel will be filled with a greater understanding, a better sense of knowing and an inner surrender. I’m leaving behind doubt, negative thoughts and worry and stepping into the unknown with gratitude in my heart.

As Carrie Bradshaw so eloquently put it “your 20’s are for enjoying yourself. Your 30’s are for learning the lessons. And your 40’s are for buying the drinks.” That couldn’t be a truer statement for me. Boy did I make the most of my 20’s! But my 30’s have been packed full of big “life moments” that certainly delivered a lesson or two. I became a mother, lost my father, launched a business, lost my grandmother and - we won’t mention lockdown. Needless to say, as much as I have still had a lovely life, wrapped up in lots of love, my 30’s have been somewhat challenging. I have grown a lot and learnt a lot and I feel like this is my time to reap the benefits. Bring on the 40’s - first rounds on me!

For me, women get more majestic the older they become. I don’t know if nostalgia plays a part for me here but when I look at women like Pamela Anderson, the 90’s supermodels or the girls from Friends, they captivate me. The stories of their lives are etched in their bodies in such a way that they have an aura that alludes total control yet sublime surrender of their own destiny. They know who they are and they seem to come only from a place of love. The wisdom and understanding of what matters and the foresight to trust the process.

Cheers to being on my way to becoming a captivating older woman!

From a mindful selection of crystals that align my chakras to personalised pieces that represent my bonds with loved ones, each item I wear holds a special place in my heart and mind. These pieces are more than just accessories to me; they are a representation of who I am and the love that surrounds me every day.

These are the jewellery pieces that I see and admire the most throughout my day. Not only do they serve as beautiful adornments, but each piece holds personal significance and serves as a reminder of the special moments in my life.

I'm continuously trying to educate myself. I relish in uncovering the scientific explanations behind what may seem mystical. Although it wasn't until my late thirties that I developed a love for reading, it has become an essential part of my everyday. Here are some of my all-time favourite reads...
