I've spent the last couple of weeks learning about Instagram. I've had a personal Instagram for a while, but just created as my daughter's asked me to so I would be able to follow their daughter's accounts and keep up with what they're doing. Seeing as they've stopped using Facebook and Snapchat quite so much...

So I created an account, didn't upload anything, and then got flagged up by Instagram as a dodgy account, because there was nothing on it. Ooops! Had to rapidly upload a couple of images and then did nothing else except enjoy following the escapades of my children.

I then decided to get an Instagram for The 50 Year Old Vlogger - and I'm having  a blast with it. Not exactly sure if I'm doing it right, or what all the ###'s are really about, but posted my first picture on the 1st of Feb and have gained 103 followers at time of writing. None of whom I got through linking it with anything, or 'buying followers' which is apparently a thing! All news to me. What I did find was lots of women who are also in their 50's and enjoying life, maturity, health, fashion & beauty - so loads in common. Excellent!

THROWBACK THURSDAY

So to avoid doing planks in Pilates this morning the class was talking about yummy, quick, easy food. I mentioned the Oatmeal & Banana Breakfast Pancake recipe I know and passed on the info to get to the link/recipe. Then came home and watched that video (see below). OH MY GOD. It was one of my first, done in 2015 and is shockingly rubbish. I even have several comments on it from one of my daughters confirming the fact and offering to help me redo it. HAHA. What I get from it though is that I've learnt a lot. My technical filming skills have definitely improved, as has my ability to talk about something to the camera. Although the same probably can't be said for my cooking...

What I have gained from doing this vlogging - more than anything else I think - is learning. Not just about about technology and social media but also about the menopause, essential oils, pilates - all sorts. And that makes me happy :-)  So don't be afraid to try something new, something you aren't fab at, and keep learning. It'll keep our brains functioning, give us  something interesting to think & talk about and hopefully provide some fun along the way!

Forgotten your reading glasses?

Decided to share a tip I have for when you've forgotten your reading glasses. It's only a 40 second clip, but I uploaded it and got over 500 views in one day! And lots of great comments. Soooo exciting! It's saved my bacon on more than one occasion and I am very happy if it's helping others.

Here it is:

One of my big bug bears is the menopause and how we just get told to suck it up and stop moaning - about all the weird changes that seem to be happening to us. And what about the options for doing something about it. Do we take hormones? Don't we? Are they dangerous or not??

So I was delighted to learn about a natural option to balance those hormones again and start feeling normal. Watch the video and see what knowledge Vee's passing on - it's always good to keep on learning!

Went to the movies with my hubby. Watched Vice with Christian Bale. I found it super interesting as at the time the movie's set we were living abroad with a lot of Americans in the mix, so we learnt a lot about the American political system. I also had a delicious G&T and we got yummy pizza delivered to our sofa - gotta love an Everyman!

Thelma & Louise Go To Cornwall - Finally!
Only taken over 6 weeks to get this video done and dusted, with Christmas interrupting my life and my intrepid companion 'Louise' going out of data range into the wilds of Mexico for far too long. Not to worry, it's up now so if you fancy a girls trip without getting off the sofa, grab a cuppa, put your feet up and watch us having a daft time by the beach in the rain and gales of sunny Cornwall.
doTerra Essential Oils Arrived!!
Have been chomping at the bit to get these, after attending a class on how they all work and having Vee O'Brien - from Veevital.com - at my house doing the short tutorials for me. Now I've got my starter pack, there'll be no stopping me! I've already used the Deep Blue for an aching back :-)
And I started the50yearoldvlogger Instagram account! So follow me if you want to and you've got Instagram. Thanks!

Brain Fog & the Menopause!

2/1/2019

We all get the menopause, but some of us also think we're losing our marbles. We might even worry we getting Alzheimers. But that forgetfulness could just be something called Brain Fog - who knew that was a thing??? - and we can alleviate the symptoms using Essential Oils. Check out what Vee taught me in the short video below.
