Victoria Beckham just turned 50. So did I but who's counting? In case you missed it the pop star turned designer held a star-studded black-tie bash to celebrate at a "posh" private members club in London at the weekend. On the topic of aging (inspired by mine and my fellow Aries Victoria Beckham milestone birthdays), my friend Marie recently confirmed over dinner that age really is only a number. As she explained there's your chronological age (the number of years you've been alive) which we can't do anything about. Then there's your biological age (how old your cells are based on physiological evidence), which if you are fit, healthy, eat well, exercise, and use good beauty products, (ideally clean anti-oxidant-rich skincare ), you can actually lower.
Unlike Victoria Beckham appeared to be, I wasn't all that thrilled about turning the big five-o. Or 30++ as I prefer to call it, but now that I'm here, it ain't so bad. Like Posh Spice, who looks so much better now than she did twenty-five years ago at the height of Spice Girls mania (maybe it was all that questionable Y2K makeup and fashion), I think I look better too. I certainly feel more comfortable in my skin than ever before and at the risk of TMI: sexier. Now, I realize all those "old" adages my mum loved to tell me are also true: With age comes wisdom. Life begins at 40 (or 30++ in my case). Youth is wasted on the young (not to mention plump juicy collagen).
