THIS IS WHAT 51 LOOKS LIKE

10-MINUTE MEDITATION

A HEALTHY mindset is key to staying young. I experienced terrible anxiety until I was 30. Now, I stay balanced by taking ten minutes out of my busy day to relax and reset. I use my guided meditation. I imagine I’m walking along a beach, then let go of any stress and replace it with positive thoughts. It is a great exercise to do if you’re feeling overwhelmed.

GREEN DETOX

EVERY day, I drink a green smoothie to detox my system. I blitz a headful of spinach with apple, cucumber, mint, wheatgrass, coconut water and ice. It’s a wonderfully hydrating mix, which sets me up for the day. Plus, the spinach contains iron and magnesium to boost energy and calm nerves.

WELLBEING MOT

IT’S important to make time for pampering. I treat myself to a spa day with friends every three months. My favourite place is Careys Manor in Hampshire ( careysmanor.com). It does organic facials (£60) that leave my skin glowing. I also get a full body massage (£80), scrub (£60) and wrap (£80). Afterwards, I feel refreshed and emotionally re-balanced.

STYLE ICON

MY BIGGEST style inspiration is Coco Chanel. I buy my clothes from High Street stores such as Jigsaw and Mint Velvet, but invest in good-quality Chanel make-up: lipsticks, mascaras, eyeliners and powders. It’s expensive, but worth it for that feeling of taking out a beautiful compact! The ritual reminds me that I’m worth it.

EARLY-BIRD EXERCISE

I FIND the best time to exercise is in the morning, as you can start the day with a feelgood endorphin rush. I go to bed at 10pm to get up at 5am. First, I do a 30-minute body balance routine, using a Les Mills virtual class ( lesmills.co.nz). Then I go for a onehour beach walk in the fresh air. The combination of strengthening and cardio helps me stay in shape. lisaskeffington.com
