SHE2.0

Welcome to  Honest Conversations , a series from The 3AM Club where we pull up a chair and explore the questions many of us are thinking about, but don't always say out loud. This week, we're asking: Why is it always our bodies? When we're tired, it's our body. When we gain weight, it's our body. When our libido changes, it's our body. But when did we become so quick to assume our bodies are the p...

I'm a personal believer that you dress for your style and your energy - not your 'age'. What does age-related style look like, anyway? Imagine being confined to a certain wardrobe because you fall into a specific age group? How limiting! And where is the self-expression?

If anyone loves their wine, it's me! I don't drink liquor or beer, but I am a huge sucker for a Californian Cab Sav. I love the flavour and I love the warm feeling I get in my belly after a few sips.
