About Me

Hi! My name is Bianca.

I’m married, and the proud mother of a 24-year-old daughter, a 22-year-old daughter, and an 18-year-old son. I turned 50 a few years ago (read my post about that HERE). I’m an avid reader, someone who now exercises fairly regularly, and an all-around fun-loving, crazy woman. I love a good laugh and my family thinks I’m hilarious slightly funny at times.

As a middle-aged woman, I’ve now reached that stage in life when I’m no longer considered ‘young’, but I’m also not viewed as old yet. And while certain aspects of midlife are obviously not great (sagging skin, I’m looking at you), other aspects are most welcome – like feeling more comfortable, relaxed, and confident, and generally enjoying life more.

I started this blog as a creative outlet for all the thoughts and ideas I’m now having as a middle-aged woman. So I cover topics that I’m interested in and want to learn more about. But I hope you also find my blog to be a good source of midlife information. And while I obviously always aim to write factually, I am not a doctor, so please always consult with your doctor regarding anything medical.

I hope that you’ll follow along to enjoy some fun and hopefully useful articles about the midlife experience. Life is, after all, about connection. And I’d love to engage with you as we navigate this new stage of our lives.

I will be writing about the following topics –

• Health & Well-Being (covering issues/symptoms/recommendations pertinent to our age)
• Fashion & Beauty (skincare for women our age, styles that suit us, makeup for older skin)
• Lifestyle (book/app/podcast/TV show recommendations, food & drinks ideas, gift guides)
• Relationships (with teenagers & young adults, friendships during midlife)
• Travel & Leisure (fun destinations I’ve visited or still want to visit, travelling with/without kids)

All with a midlife spin.

I hope my little corner of the internet will become a place you’ll love to visit because you relate to the topics. I’d love you to say hi, leave a comment and follow me here and on social media. I look forward to meeting you! x
