Fyou? Here's why

Because fifty is so much fun I can't shut up about it.

You see, there’s a plethora of advice out there for women of a certain age – women’s mid-life health information, menopausal tips and more. Endless navigational guides charting women through the troubled waters of peri-menopause, buoying them up through the turbulence of menopause itself and jollying them along the pebbled shores of post-menopause.


Yes, that's a whole lot of menopause. Then there's all the beauty stuff - everything from how to conceal your liver spots and close your pores to Cryolipolysis - that's fat freezing to you and me - for that stubborn cellulite.


Two sides to every mountain - thankfully....


It’s wonderfully helpful and a boon to many women who find themselves encountering a bewildering array of debilitating side-effects, the full implications of which they hadn’t fully anticipated and had certainly not understood - much less prepped for, mentally or physically.


On the other side of the mountain, there is without doubt a handful of mature celebrities whose genteel transition into mid years has been greeted with reverential little gaps of media admiration. So many column inches, social media posts and likes pay testimony to the panache with which they have bucked the trend and emerged, glamorous, hourglass figures intact into the roiling pit of ageing womanhood.


You know the ones. Yes, they do look good and no, I'm not a sour hater. Just pointing out the implication that these women are the exceptions to an altogether duller, plainer, flabbier norm, is far from encouraging.


The truth is, notwithstanding, belittling or in any way minimising the difficulties many of us face in transitioning into the later decades of our lives, there are huge freedoms to be found too, and soooo much fun to be had. In short, a lot of fifty-somethings are positively glowing.


For a lot of women I know, their fifties are a ball, and one which they are grasping fully, inexorably, pleasurably and unapologetically with both eager hands. What they’ve realised is that empty nest syndrome in actual fact equals less laundry, less mess, fewer dishes to load, more time, greater freedom and an overall reduction in responsibilities.


At this time in your life, you probably have more disposal income than you had when you were young and last had so much free time. Kerching! Put all those points together and they probably add up to more time and money to indulge yourself now in the things you want to do.


Oh, and have I mentioned the 365 day a year opportunities for endless, wall to wall sex unhampered by the interruptions of the serially messy monthly ‘rain stops play’ episodes? And unimpeded too by anyone bursting in on you just as you reach that crucial point – because the aforesaid nest is now joyously empty.


Of course before you get to reap the full benefits of the endless wall to wall freedoms you may have to circumvent the less welcome advent of a new hurdle with which some of you will be more than fleetingly familiar - Vaginal Atrophe (ugh, even the name sounds depressingly old and wrinkly – dry fanny syndrome sounds much more to the point, don’t you think?). But worry not, there are ways around this one (more on this to come later) and believe me once you find the solution for you there’s a whole new world out there. So here's to fifty, fly, fabulous you.
