Hey!
I'm Lucy
Mid-forties, two kids, a husband, a dog, a wardrobe I've finally figured out, and a lot of feelings about hormones.
I started Poppy and Blush because the version of midlife I kept seeing online didn't look like mine. It was either glossy, smug, and impossibly thin - or it was a list of symptoms with no joy in it anywhere.
The truth, for me, is messier and better than both. I'm juggling work and teenagers, trying to dress for the body I have now (not the one I had at 28), figuring out my hormones one tracker app at a time, and slowly building a home and a life that actually feels like mine.
This blog is a record of that - the outfits, the recipes, the half-finished house projects, the chats with my mum, and the honest stuff about what works and what really, really doesn't.
If you're somewhere in your forties or fifties and looking for company that isn't trying to sell you a 10-step morning routine, I'm so glad you're here.
Love, Lucy x
