THIS IS 50 WHAT LOOKS LIKE
Julieanne Steel lives in london. She is single with three children, 22, 20 and 15, and a one-year-old granddaughter. She runs a decluttering business.
ENERGISING ACUPUNCTURE
EVERY two weeks, I do a one-hour acupuncture session (£60, sarah
matheson.co.uk). I’ve been using the same acupuncturist since my early 20s, when I had a horseriding accident that fractured my pelvis and spine. It’s been a stabilising force in my health ever since. Afterwards, I always feel energised and my skin looks clearer. Plus, I rarely get colds!
NO CONDITIONER
I’VE ALWAYS had long hair — and people often tell me how shiny it is. But, I don’t use many products — or any heat, chemicals or dye. I wash it once a week with a natural shampoo and I don’t use a conditioner. If I do need an extra hydration boost, I use a spritz of Aussie Miracle Recharge Moisture Infuser Leave-in Conditioner (£4.99, boots.com).
RETRO FACE SOAP
I’VE BEEN using the original Pears Soap as a morning face wash (two for £1.20, boots.com), for ever. It’s made with natural oils and is not at all drying. If I have to take off make-up at night, I use Clean & Clear Deep Cleansing Lotion For Sensitive Skin (£2.26). I finish by using Superdrug Optimum Day Cream (£12.99).
CBD FOR MENOPAUSE
I HIT the menopause early, at 44 — and I suffered from bad anxiety, hot flushes, achy joints, loss of libido and low energy. However, I didn’t want to take HRT. So, I went to see a nutritionist (£250 for two sessions, marulawellness.
com) who recommended I take CBD capsules by CannabiGold Smart (£26.90,
fortheageless.com), twice a day, to calm my mood — which has made a huge difference to my wellbeing.
CHANGE YOUR LIFE
IN 2008, I moved out of London to live in a big farmhouse in Cornwall, but then my husband and I got divorced. As a result, I moved back to a flat in London. I realised I was happier without lots of stuff. This led me to set up a new decluttering business, which I love. I have a 15-minute tidying ritual, called the ‘Daily Steely’! It’s never too late to make a change. ■ unclutteryourlife.co.uk
