That's the only bleeping bounce - other than when the cheque clears - that this moron experiences.

Does she think we're stupid? By now, her target audience must have tried this 'tip' the first time it came out, circa 92. It bloody tugs, is totally uncomfortable and doesn't result in generalised 'bounce' but on flat (pulled tight by tension) roots with weirdly voluminous and unfortunate pouffy sides.

Try again Sali.

Yeah but you know what, it's fine. As Aude says, you might put on a bit of weight, realise you've had a couple of unusually sleepless nights, wake up sweaty a few times. You go to the doctor, get some hrt or anti-depressants (some of which have a side effect of stopping hot flushes, which is why they are recommended), or if hrt isn't right for you, you sleep nude. It sorts it. Done. On the bright side, you stop getting spots and your skin stops being greasy.

And it doesn't terminate, it gets way better. You develop zero bleeping tolerance for these grifters, stop buying overpriced tit that does bugger all and prioritise topping up your pension rather than Sali's next bespoke window seat project or Hirons' mansion. And young men start being amazingly chivalrous, rather than sex pests.

Oh I mean I feel bad commenting on meno products, as I’m not there…yet. Maybe I’ll be thrilled to have a weird pink shelf of products (which all the under and over Meno ladies will probably swerve as irrelevant)

also fun fact having ME induces a lot of meno-type symptoms! I’ve been suffering fatigue, poor sleep, brain fog and hot flushes etc for years.
 
I’m going through peri and the things that have really helped have cost me nothing. Reducing alcohol dramatically has helped with sleep, intermittent fasting sorted out horrendous periods, eating less and walking more has helped with mood and weight gain. Learning how to manage stress is still a theme but I’ve got a pool of simple things that help. It’s a hard and confusing period of a woman’s life to go through. Regretfully HRT made no difference and actually made things worse for me, although I appreciate it’s god-sent for many.

Women need all the kindness and respect to navigate this in ways that make sense to them. Instead we see ruthless monetising from their struggles under the guise of offering tailored support. Peri/menopause is woefully under-researched and women are often left to figure things out on their own. SH is nothing more than another salesperson jumping in the bandwagon.

Scrolling insta and saw this from Sali on a picture of Christy Turlington that Bobbi Brown had posted. Just seems unnecessarily mean -

So, Sal, if according to you (and some other poor deluded souls) it's a lost cause to try and look good as we age because none of us are Christy Turlington, then what's the bleeping point of you and your job? Jesus Christ, what a negative, negative attitude to have. She's loves pissing on other people's self-esteem. God forbid you not cower with horror at the way you look because you're not a bleeping supermodel.

Looks like Christy Turlingtin has had a tit load of work done in that photo too. Not judging but she's not aging naturally.
Sali's attitude, however flippant here, really sums up her fear of visibly aging.
 
Sali also said the same about Christy in her book Pretty Iconic. She listed her favourite beauty icons and said something like “you don’t look like her but no one does”. It’s classic Sali repeating a line she thinks is clever and insightful.

And don’t even get me started on this pay grade thing. I hope this isn’t a new line that Sali is going to repeat over and over because as @HotesTilaire pointed out that’s not what it means

I adore Christy, she is the epitome of grace and beauty. When I first saw the photo I thought for a second I did think it was one of those AI ageing filters had been used on an older photo of her. Is Bobbi sure it’s real? Regardless, she’s absolutely beautiful from within and it shines through
 
I note this morning that the MTick self congratulatory post was just a fleeting one in her stories not an actual post on main. I see that Revolution are a "partner" of this scheme and they have one stupid Menopause supplement listed as an accredited product.

I wonder if she had to post it as a contractual obligation and even she felt it was tragic so snuck it in in quick Saturday night stories post.

I wait in excitement to see which actual SH product or product gets the MTick. It won't surprise you to know that companies pay big bucks to join the scheme....and they have an annual awards ceremony to pat themselves on the back.

I don’t think it’s an AI photo, she looks like she does in other photos and the documentary on Apple. I agree she’s beautiful inside and out

So during the past couple of years, when there's been a vastly increased focus on menopause - including commercially - more women have come to fear menopause and are having a worse menopause experience.

“More women feared it than 4 years ago” isn’t exactly “statistics”, I think I’d want to see the numbers.
You know, like on a L’Oréal face cream ad where they say ”90% saw a reduction in fine lines in one week” *based on a study of 146 participants who previously did not use any face cream and used the product for a week

I don't imagine it was a particularly robust survey. I was just surprised that she seemed to be using that as a reason to promote even more 'awareness' and throw even more product at it.
 
So more women feared the menopause….but the lived experience [of menopause] was declining. That makes no sense. You can’t fear it and have it.
I’m generally anti-anything vaguely medical being cited as being “perpetuated by awareness“ given that ME and Long Covid have suffered this “they think it into existence“ problem. Maybe more women are aware problems they’re having are due to menopause since the awareness campaigns, and are more able to cite it as a reason.

I took it to mean that they surveyed a group of pre-menopausal women (from which they concluded that more women feared it) and also a group of menopausal/post-menopausal women (from which they concluded that the lived experience was declining)

I think it must be impossible to measure whether the lived experience of menopause is increasing or declining - given that, as you say, in the past what are now identified as menopause symptoms would have been seen as something else.
