Tarzan! That’s an enormous vine you’re swinging from... . . . How much time do you spend naked? I have to confess, it’s quite a lot for me. I’m lucky that my house and garden aren’t overlooked so a little nude pruning often goes on. I always suspected it was good for the soul but my life coaching studies recently revealed official research which proves that stripping off is good for your body confidence. Hiding your body away, swathing it in layers of clothes is a good way to create a disconnect between body and mind; to pretend it’s not really part of you. But without clothes you’re confronted by all its naked glory - saggy, dangly, crumpled bits and all. And that feels good! Obviously there are considerations; no frying, terrifying the postman or making the teens feel ill. But otherwise its a fabulously freeing feeling 🤗 So as today is Midsummer, the year’s half way point and a good moment for renewal, take the opportunity to disrobe and offer up your gorgeous flesh to the summer sun. Although as it’s England, maybe have a woolly scarf handy... #bodycare #bodypositive #bodypositivemovement #bopowarrior #midlifebopo #warriorwoman #confidence #fortyandfabulous #overforty #fortyplusblogger #over40blogger #disruptingage #ageisnotavariable
#savouringsunday Sunday was always clean sheets day when I was little. Strip the bed, let it air all day and then freshly made in time for bed. Perfect... just always that fight with the darned duvet cover 🙄 #fortyplusstyle #over40 #overfortyandfabulous #subdayfunday #sundayfeelings #joyfulandfierce #joy #fiercejoy #freeandwild #cleansheets #thewhitesquare #lifecoach #renegadewomen #blonde #midlifebopo #bopo #bopowarrior

Morning! Here I am experimenting with the @let_herbecuriouss patented ‘falling back onto the bed’ selfie. If you fancy a selfie I recommend this technique. It’s super flattering, (my double chin has pretty much vanished) and also gives you an excuse to lie down... . . . On another note, according to AgeUK, the most widespread discrimination in Europe is age discrimination. Well, bollocks to that. One thing they want changed is for beauty products to stop using the phrase ‘anti-ageing’ which seems like an obvious one to me. For a start, it’s impossible. How about ‘beautiful ageing’ instead? Or ‘glorious ageing’? So you can be considered mighty fine because of your wrinkles, not despite them ... just sayin 😉. #nofilter #filterfree #lovemyage #beautifulageing #bodypositive #midliferevolution #disruptingage #anyage #blondeinbloom #bopowarrior #fortyplusstyle #fortyplus #beautyatanyage
For goodness sake, dear, put it away. . Nope! Not gonna. You know why? . . As a chubkin in my late forties, it isn’t always easy to love my body. Especially that stomach, revealing as it does the ravages of pregnancies and croissant abuse. But as the cliche goes, it’s the only one I’ve got and love it I do, nowadays. It took me a few decades to develop that love. So if you’re interested, here are my tips for when you’re feeling that “what is this thing I’m attached to “ negativity about your bod .... delicious bubble baths followed by scent everywhere. Weight lifting (as also pointed out by @livethreesixty in her stories it’s the best exercise from your 40’s onwards). Excellent underwear (@sainsburys now has a great line for the bigger boobed with a cost that doesn’t subject you to the ‘giant boob tax’). And if at all possible, find someone else who worships your body. (If no-one is currently available, I’m offering a “you look utterly gorgeous” DM service, just let me know). Have a beautiful Sunday xxx #bopo #bopowarrior #bodypositive #lovemybody #midlifebopo #selfacceptance #selflove #blondeinbloom #ig_muse #gothictonic #bodyacceptance #startliving #thislexilife #renegadewomen #joyfulandfierce
Returning to feminism after maternity leave? Want to re-enter the feminist-sphere after a political ideology gap? Let me help you regain your confidence and get up to date with all the new feminist practises and technology with my easy to follow 3-step “How to be a mid-century feminist” blog post 💪 It can be confusing, can’t it, to emerge from a world where your most important thoughts were about winning the school cupcake trophy or how to fit that mum-tum into a Rosie Huntington-Whitely bikini? And crikey, some of these young women are so frightfully angry! All that jargon… surely cis is an environmentally friendly bathroom cleaner? And wasn’t the kyriarchy that club in Mykonos where you shagged Sven the DJ in 1992? But help is here! If your recent feminism has consisted of nothing more than adding the MeToo hashtag to an IG post (and no, it doesn’t mean you also like those Prada shoes) then my blog post will help you update your feminist skills and re-join the ranks! Link in bio…. (NB. For anyone deeply offended by the above, I would like to point out that this is me… I am this crap feminist trying to re-join the ranks and this is a rather personal account of feminism, depression, motherhood and trying to find my way back. With a little hint of sarci stuff.) #feminism #feministsofinstagram #midlifefeminism #feministblog #blogger #womenempowerment #womensupportingwomen #tshirt #slogantee #retro #retrofem #shoutitout #midlifebody #disruptingage #midliferebel #midlifereinvention #lifecoach #thehonestsquare

Welcome to Lexiland

Lexiland is the home of the Renegade- any age, any lifestyle but always a maverick, always creative and always looking for how to get the best out of life.

My life… is the same old balancing act that all we mid-life and sandwich generation people face. Kids, dog, parents and, in our case, a husband with a chronic illness too. I don’t have any answers; but my plan is to throw a bit of art, adventure, fashion and fairy tale at the dark times. Lets see how that works out, shall we?
