LIVING PART TWO IN COLOUR...🍃⁠ ⁠ Many of us struggle with our sense of self in midlife. Research in the UK by the brilliant menopause think tank @genm_official last year revealed that around 40% report a loss of confidence, feeling invisible...feeling unattractive - ignored by the brands we love, and by society as a whole.⁠ ⁠ It can leave us feeling that our place is in the shadows. In greys and blacks.⁠ ⁠ And yet - by the time we get to midlife we have so much to give. We find ourselves filled by a greater sense of purpose, increased empathy...and our brains literally grow additional grey matter (we have to have somewhere to store the wisdom, right?!). Post menopause, we tend to be happier, more comfortable in our skin..and if we can shift our mindsets, liberated from dressing for others.⁠ ⁠ Ageing is complex, challenging, frustrating, enlightening - but ultimately a beautiful privilege. ⁠ ⁠ So, as the UK looks towards a weekend of sunshine, take advantage of the shift in clothing options! Resist self-judgement, ignore the 'rules', seek out the joy and look to the colours, textures, shapes and pieces that make you feel good. ⁠ ⁠ Celebrate now. Because your body is brilliant. And you deserve to be seen.☀️🌈⁠ ⁠ With love, the MPowder Team.⁠ ⁠ #proage #bodylove #selfacceptance #selflove #thisisforty #thisisfifty #mpowder #agelessstyle #menopause #postmenopause #perimenopause #midlife #genxwomen⁠
