AGE IS JUST A NUMBER How old are you? You’re right it’s none of my business and I hope you won’t ask me either. Ever since my dim and distant past in the music biz I have refused to give my age (I was once told by a not-to-be-identified-but-now-hugely-famous music mogul that I was ‘over the hill’ at 28). I remember Madonna once saying,
“Why is my age relevant? I’m not a vintage car – or a cheese!” It was great to hear Dr Christiane Northrup, whose new book is Goddesses Never Age, speak recently and her top tip is to stop celebrating milestone birthdays (after 25) and refuse to be defined by the label of age. She believes that getting older is inevitable but ageing is optional. By stating our age we are putting ourselves in a box. In the US, at least, many more people are reaching the grand age of 100. The event I saw Christiane speak at was the Hay House ‘I can do it’ event – the founder of that publishing company is Louise Hay and she is still going strong at 87. Last year she just started learning to play the piano! Christiane suggests when someone asks you your age, look them in the eye and say… ’What’s your real question?’

A MAGICAL STOCKING FILLER Over the next few months I will be sharing some great recommendations for natural and organic skincare and beauty products, but right now I’m feeling just downright ‘bling’ with the launch of a remarkable range of high quality classic nail varnishes, The Nail Enchantment Law of Attraction range. The creator, Easy Detox expert Amanda Nelson, wanted to create a range that was Detox Approved Skincare and 5-free ingredients, meaning they don’t contain the usual suspects such as: Toluene Di-butyl Phthalate Formaldehyde Camphor Formaldehyde Resin What’s really kooky is that each bottle includes a preprogrammed quartz diamond which turns the liquid varnish into a ‘crystal elixir.’ Amanda believes that The Law of Attraction states, ‘Like attracts like’ so we can invoke this universal law with every stroke of varnish applied! Great names too: Sincerely grateful, Infinitely blessed, Fabulously abundant, Magnetically connected and Passionately loved. Natural magic at your fingertips! If you’re doing the Christmas shopping early it’s the perfect stocking filler.
