Girlfriend Snippets – Sass, Spark & Sisterhood
A collection of cheeky little truths for women who’ve been around the block.
We laugh, rant, and sometimes get a bit naughty
(because at 50-plus, why the hell not?).
You can comment, share them with friends,
or simply enjoy the knowing grin they bring.
Recognising myself again
HRT should come with a small, polite note:
“Side effects may include feeling like yourself again.”
Honestly, within weeks my brain stopped behaving like it belonged to someone else.
The fog lifted, and I no longer cried because I ran out of yoghurt.
And the libido?
Well… let’s just say it quietly slipped back in, pretending it had never left.
Sometimes you just need the right dose of truth
and a bit of oestrogen.
“I’m Fine.”
“I’m fine” is never information.
It’s a headline without the article.
It can mean:
– I need a hug
– I need wine
– I need space
– I need you to apologise
– I’ve already forgiven you but I’m still annoyed
Girlfriends know.
We don’t ask if she’s fine.
We ask: red or white?
The Real Luxury
Magazines say luxury is cashmere, five-star hotels
and diamond bracelets.
But the older I get, the more I know the truth: luxury is health. It’s waking up without pain, having energy to dance in the kitchen, and laughing so hard with friends your mascara runs. That’s the real sparkle.
What about you — what’s the “real luxury” in your life right now?
