Beautiful at 32

Happy New Year first of all everyone and my sincerest apologies for the massive delay since my last post. I was reading an article yesterday about when women are supposed to feel their most beautiful. According to the study the average woman (no such thing) feels her most beautiful at the age of 32. Well... I don't know about you but I was heavily pregnant and waddling around like a duck so I can't say I was feeling my most beautiful at this tender age. I do agree though with the findings that as we age we tend to feel more comfortable in our ‘God' given vehicle and losing weight becomes far more about how healthy you want to feel than trying to squeeze into a size 10 when you are clearly tipping the scales as 12/14 (well that is still a little motivation).

In case you missed the news this is apparently the findings:

* 4 out of 10 women feel their most sexy at age 32 - the 38 percent who said they felt most attractive in their early 30s
attributed it to confidence gained from experience, an active love life
and a healthy diet.
* 7 out of 10 of today's over 50's are still happy to wear a bikini, with 4 out of 10 still happy to go topless on a beach.
* 82 percent of women think turning 50 shouldn't be a reason to stop having long hair.
* 98 percent of women over 50 wear make-up and 96 percent of over 50's still enjoy a pair of killer heels!
* 24 per cent of 18-24 year olds believe that it's not
appropriate for mature women to show cleavage but almost 87 percent
over 50 believe they can still flaunt it.

So you see getting better with age can be beneficial, a little like a bottle of fine wine. I have to say as much as I loved being in my 20's I probably fall into the category of feeling most at peace with my package in my 30's. The most exciting bit of information in the study above is that 98% of women over 50 wear make-up. I think this in itself awesome and very inspiring and I am please to see there is a sense of confidence out there.

Hope this makes you feel terrific!
