Thank you so much for this gorgeous post and for all the amazing mid-life advice this past year, it's so lovely and totally inspirational to have suggestions geared to our age group. Wishing you a very happy New Year! xx💖
Oh Fiona, this is the loveliest thing to say and means VERY much—thank you so much for reading, sharing your thoughts and being part of what makes this such a wonderful community—happy, wonderful New Year to you and all yours, too!! 🥰 XOXOXO
Merry Christmas, Jenni! You have created such a joyful space here- it's like a little biweekly gift! You are such a beautiful and generous soul- so grateful the Substack universe put us in each other's path! Sending much holiday love, and cheers to an amazing 2025!! 🥂❤️
Thank you so much, Dina, I hope your holidays were super-special and I appreciate you and your kindness, loveliness, realness, joy-bringing-ness (!) and support SO very much—and sorry for the belated reply!!! Sending much love to you and all yours with wishes for every happiness and blessing in 2025! 💖✨XXXX
Merry Christmas Jenni! I so appreciate you always highlighting grown-up women looking fabulous. And I think of you every time I tentatively apply some blusher these days!
I read this yesterday, couldn’t reply on the run and here I am 24 hours later – that’s so lovely of you to say, Louise thank you so so much – so appreciate all your support and kindness this year, and above also lovely to have met you on here! I equally think of you when considering new wardrobe purchases 👗 👢 and in general about how I approach purchasing and enjoying my clothes and accessories! Truly! Sending wishes for a truly Buon Natale!!! ❤️✨🇮🇹🎄
How did I miss the Daisy Fuentes Dove ad? I love her and need to find it. Thank you for all the beauty tips and inspo (my SPF will arrive one day!) and happy to have made friends with you on here!! Happy holidays!🎄🍾
Oh so sorry for the confusion 🤪, my bad - Daisy F was for Estée Lauder-I’ll try and find the link! I haven’t seen it either!-and thank you and Cheryl for all of your Substack fabulousness!! And so happy to call you lovely new friends over the pond! (and I was going to ask if your lipgloss had turned up yet 🙏!!) Happy, wonderful holiday holidays!! ❤️
I just finished it and it was delightful! Timmy, Colman and Andrew were adorable together and I am now obsessed with Laufey (and realize I’ve been egregiously mispronouncing her name)
Oops read too quickly while still finishing my coffee. I can google! We get the grahams a week later here but am excited for Timmy and Colman! Was it really fun? They look so cute in the promo pic. The older Timmy one with Hanks, Cher, and Julia was SO cute and funny. I’m a little behind and still on the Lolly, Nicholas Hoult one.
