Women hate me for my beauty but at 53 I look better than ever… here’s how, from Botox ban to self pleasure secret

EVERY single morning I’m that woman who looks at herself in the mirror and, loving what I see, does a little happy dance. I might be turning 54 in February but I don’t see that as a reason to settle or give up on my appearance - in fact, I reckon I look better than ever.

It’s probably no surprise that I’m that woman who went viral back in 2012 for daring to write ‘why do women hate me for being beautiful?’. Nowadays, I prefer to share the secrets behind why I am still so easy on the eye in the sixth decade. Can we ditch the unrealistic expectations that swirl around the beauty industry and the fitness world at this time of year?.

There is no quick fix, and if, like me, you want to look good all-year round, maintenance is key. I still turn heads and that's why I’m also that woman who is more than happy to dish out tough love advice to other women who want to look and feel fantastic in their 50s.

I’ve been married twice and had my fair share of sexual partners. My second marriage to my hubby Pascal has lasted 16 years and we’ve been together for 17. While sex ebbs and flows what I have learnt is that self-love is important - I know how to sexually satisfy myself.

Every woman should embrace the world of self-orgasm and sex toys. If you are feeling the midlife 'blurgh' then orgasms are your secret weapon for positive mental health and youthfulness. When we orgasm our bodies release dopamine, the feel-good hormone, and oxytocin, the love drug.
