No this is not the world’s most glamorous nit nurs

No this is not the world’s most glamorous nit nurse - it’s @anabel_kingsley - eminent trichologist @philip_kingsley (her dress is @boden btw).

I’ve never been to the W1 clinic before and it’s a serene place where they take all hair woes seriously.

@anabel_kingsley studied my scalp and asked lots of questions about my diet (pretty good), hair washing habits (less good) and styling (lots of heat = breakage).

She said the thinning was minimal but it was good I came in at this stage because it’s easiest to help then. She’s sending me for blood tests but thinks she will probably prescribe low dose minoxidil. She thinks the cause is mainly age related as hair can shrink in diameter as we clock up birthdays. It’s usual to see it in this area.

Then I had the most heavenly treatment involving steaming/massage/lots of products. My scalp feels reborn.

I now understand all the little things - good brush, regular hair washing, heat protection - add up to good hair 🙌🏻🙌🏻

Will let you know how I get on with the minoxidil in a three months.

Ask me any questions below ⬇️

WHEN LIFE COMES FULL CIRCLE! Here’s my daughter

BITTERSWEET GOODBYES Yes she’s gone to university

BITTERSWEET GOODBYES

Yes she’s gone to university…

Times checked Life 360? 40
Unwanted bits of life advice given? 100
3am moments of terror? I. More to come
Calls for help with TV control? 0 so far
Tears shed? A lot.

But I’m so happy that’s she’s made it - through her own hard work, drive and resilience and help from many people in her life.

I feel like the bird in the nest watching their chick flap off and PRAYING TO GOD they fly. She will I’m sure of it.

But who will correct my Gen X cringe chat? Talk to me at 11pm about really pressing issues? Tell me the real truth about those jeans I’ve bought. Educate me on vegetarianism/tik tok/Kardashian tea?

Is this you? Has this been you? Love to know your thoughts and please God your advice!

Sometimes it’s not the person we miss in a break up it’s the security. Or maybe you miss them and you miss the security. It can be hard to unpick.

What are your thoughts? Please tell me ⬇️

Post marriage split I felt untethered. Alone. I hated not having that special person - you know that ‘next of kin’, ‘contact in case of emergency’, ‘plus one’ pick-me-up-from hospital - person.*

I was desperate to get that feeling of security back. And whilst this angst was happening in my mind I felt it in my body - racing heart, shaking hands, high anxiety.

After a while I realised much of the pain I felt in my 💔 was not about losing my ex but more about losing my security blanket, my rock. I realised that I needed to find strength in myself and to really change my mindset so I didn’t put my self worth in some else’s hands again.

I also learnt (the hard way) you can’t force someone to love you.

I’ve found @amirlevine_md new book Secure so illuminating - it showed me how I can sometimes self sabotage and how to have better, stronger relationships by having more belief in yourself.

*In the end I realised I had lots of people prepared to take on those special person roles and to you all - you know who you are - I’m eternally grateful. 🙏🏻🙏🏻

😘😘😘
