I never thought I would age. I am serious. Why for some odd reason, I don’t know, I thought the clock would stop for me! Then reality hit me in the head, literally. At 35, my hair began to gray. I had some stress, but not a hard life. I could not figure it out… aging prematurely! So I did what any young female professional would do and I covered it! My hair was important to me. My hair framed my face and I thought it defined who I was. So I did this FOR YEARS! Until my 50th birthday approached when I said no more! I was done. I felt fake. I was covering up who I was. I…

I’m Wendy, the creator of Wendy’s Way to Health and The Healthy Normal Revolution membership program where I help women quit dieting for good and live happy, healthy lives. Improving my health and fitness, along with helping others do the same, has always been part of my life, to varying degrees. I absolutely loved the ‘aerobics’ craze that swept the world during the 1980’s and  90’s. My best friend growing up, (and not an exercise fan), will tell you how I put her and a couple of other neighborhood kids through their paces in the family garage.

Our generation didn’t grow up with a lot of women role models over 50; a lot of actresses i.e. Brigitte Bardot quit the screen at 40, 50 was more like the end of everything! I was lucky to have a mum and her friends…

I have always loved India Hicks and her laid back, classic style. I’ve read all of her fantastic books and I love her collection as it has an Hermes feel to it. I used to see her in Ralph Lauren campaigns, buy her Crabtree and Evelyn products, and always admired her for “running away” to the Bahamas to live life on her own terms. For those who don’t know, India is an aristocrat – albeit an unconventional one. Her family lineage is that of fairy tales: she is a granddaughter of Lord Mountbatten, goddaughter and second cousin to Prince Charles (she was a bridesmaid at his wedding to Lady Diana Spencer), and great-great-great-grandchild of Queen Victoria. But in addition to…
