DON’T LOOK BACK,
You’ll Miss What’s in Front of You
the time and missed valuable time with my children. I also yearned for greater flexibility, and to escape the money equals time trap so many of us find ourselves in. I’m delighted to introduce my new business: fifty_and_fabulous_with_mia
Turning 50 this year I knew that I wanted to find a more balanced life.
A
life that allowed me to fulfil my values around helping others, and giving back, whilst most importantly spending more quality time at home with my children and husband. I’ve been guilty like many working mums of being stuck in the “rat race” surviving day to day. I have spent over 30 years commuting to London working for several large telecommunications network providers. During this time, I have been married, divorced, and married again. Struggled with 5 years of gruelling IVF, cared for my mother who became very ill with cancer, moved house over ten times and life does take its toll on your health and wellbeing. I have always loved my job and earned a six-figure yearly income, enjoying the trappings and challenges this brings but I was tired most of www.lancmag.com
My business offers all women support in 3 key areas: Firstly I candidly share my life experience tips on all things including divorce, marriage, kids, health, and mental wellbeing. My aim is to pass on all the valuable knowledge I have learnt over the years and help others navigate life’s challenges. Secondly, I provide personalised clean healthy skincare and makeup advice and products for all women – however, I specialise in the over 50s. During this period our skin needs careful attention and adjustment to ensure we nurture a naturallooking glowing radiance. I have used Tropic Skincare for over 4 years since my beloved mother developed breast cancer at the age of 72. Her oncologist told me to check exactly what was in my skin and body care products as he believed there is a direct link between cancer and what’s in some of the shelf-stocked beauty products. I totally believe in clean, organic powerful plant-based formulations that Tropic offer and my own skin has never looked better, I have reduced my reliance on Botox,
fillers, and more abrasive chemicalladen formulas. My third and greatest service to other women is the gift of starting their own skincare business. After doing many years of research on various social selling businesses I knew that I wanted to do something that interests me, allows me to have fun, generates a substantial income and allows me to manage my own time. I joined the Tropic Skincare business as an ambassador 2.5 years ago and quickly elevated myself to Executive Leader. The business model is a low-risk fun way of starting your own business. There are no targets, no hidden agendas, just the ability to talk and share a love of skincare with others. I adore coaching and mentoring other women helping them become more confident and believe in themselves. Through my own journey with Tropic, I have learnt how to supercharge your own business and in just 30 months I have a business that has turned over a whopping £0.5m in sales and I support over 150 women all on their own skincare business journey. If you would like to chat to me about having a plan b to lead a more relaxed life, build a lucrative second income or just join a happy supportive gang of women then please get in touch on my Instagram page: I fifty_and_fabulous_with_mia
