Meno-pause and figure it out
A personal guide to perimenopause and menopause: symptoms that changed most, what changed in training, why protein mattered, sleep beyond supplements, what helped vs what didn’t, and a gentle start-here action plan. Canadian English.
Nightime skin routine
A simple nighttime skincare routine that’s realistic to stick to: cleanse, optional treatment, moisturise. What Vi does and what to avoid. Canadian English, no hype.
Morning skincare
A simple 5-minute morning skincare routine that actually works for women 40+. No hype, no inline product links—just what Vi does and what mattered most.
The Change
Change is good. I keep telling myself that, but sometimes I don’t believe it.
Scheduled hobbies
As a child, reading was my passion. I was rarely without a book and read for hours each day. I collected books, went to the library every week, and generally made books a big part of my world.
Weekly masks
A weekly face mask is my favourite little reset, sometimes with a glass of prosecco and an at-home spa night. After trying dozens, these are the ones I keep coming back to for soft, glowy skin.
Oatmeal 3 ways
Oatmeal is an easy breakfast or snack. Make it overnight in the fridge, on the stove, or in the microwave, then boost protein and fibre with simple add-ins.
Creating Joy
From family milestones to simple traditions, joy is something we can create on purpose. Even when plans change, the moment still matters.
Lift Heavy Things
At this stage of life, strength helps with joint pain, mobility, balance, proprioception and skeletal strength. More importantly, it makes you feel in control of your body again. Get started today!
