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!

And I started the50yearoldvlogger Instagram account! So follow me if you want to and you've got Instagram. Thanks!

Excited as I've realised the Stars of the Silver Screen videos I helped Legal & General with is now live! Spot my star turn ;-)  Whole article here: STARS OF THE SILVER SCREEN

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.
