Her article is on the Guardian site, but I find it's easier to Google it than to find it on the Guardian.
She still doesn't understand how menopause works, or hormones, or that using that kind of hyperbolic wartime like phrasing is boring and not cute.„A nation‘s hormones will be grateful“??? For a face mist?
Writing 50 000 words of a novel this month so don’t have the time to post much right now but that has to be the next thread title. Sali Hughes Elegantly tip toeing around her downstairs„They discussed my fanny“ would have to be followed or preceded by two more words, to add drama. Preferably also starting with f. fanny - family - fake tan. I’m no good at this, but then I’m not a journalist.
I can never decide what to read first: tattle comment or column. Today I chose tattle, now I’m heading over to The Guardian full of anticipation. Can’t wait to read Sali’s elegantly tiptoeing around her downstairs.
No Sali on the Guardian site, but Hadley Freeman seems to be back.
I still can’t Organizer my posts!
How long do I have to wait so that two consecutive posts don’t get shown as one?
There - it happened again! And it’s *organize of course
Totally agree. I know menopause symptoms wildly vary from person to person but that was such a lightweight article. I don't know about others here but when I was having hot flushes, any product simply would not have worked. Spraying a cooling mist would not stop the horrible sensation my entire skin was prickly and on fire and that I felt claustrophobic and panicky in that skin sometimes for hours on end. I know Sali is not there yet - so in this case I don't know how she can recommend something for such a specific purpose?This sort of article feels like a step backwards for feminism / menstrual public health, minimising the symptoms to the degree that they can just be sprayed away?
Love it. Except can we change elegantly to primly. Is that a word?Writing 50 000 words of a novel this month so don’t have the time to post much right now but that has to be the next thread title. Sali Hughes Elegantly tip toeing around her downstairs
I know the video you are talking about..Wasn't she even called out about it by a makeup artist who was doing her wedding makeup in a video? Sali said she usually wore one shade, the makeup artist (Mary Greenwell?) started putting it on and was then like no this is too dark for you.
I'll see if I can find the video.
Edit: Sorry I'm too dim to work out how to attach a YouTube video but it's called Sali Hughes pretty natural. And it's not for her wedding, it's for a book shoot it looks like. I'm sure you ladies have watched it already.
Shilling absolutely unnecessary products to fuel or create insecurities? Fuck right off Sali. My vag smells fine. And so would yours if you stopped hating it.
I raised my eyebrow, too. But, apparently: https://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/cystitis/symptoms-causes/syc-20371306But cystitis from shower gel?
maybe she got cystitis from her maintenance shags.I have never ever used any kind of wash, fruity shower gel or intimate wash down there. And how would shower gel give cystitis, a urinary tract infection?
If she'd said thrush, fair enough. But cystitis from shower gel? Now I'm no doctor but....
Okay but what the hell is she doing with the shower gel for that to happen? And she seemingly has no issue with bath products. Not deep research, she posts about her baths and bubble baths regularly
ETA: Post too short. But I only have two words in mind: olfactory onanism.

Chemical cystitis. Some people may be hypersensitive to chemicals contained in certain products, such as bubble bath, feminine hygiene sprays or spermicidal jellies, and may develop an allergic-type reaction within the bladder, causing inflammation.
Add to that washing your lingerie in the bath...
She has twisted and distorted whatever we say so I'm past caring!I think we should (primly) avoid speculation about Sali’s fragrant ‘areas’ as it will only be used against us (yuck).
I didn’t know that about cystitis but I do know you can get BV (bacterial vaginosis) from gels and bubble baths.Ok so the cystitis thing with shower gels - it’s similar to thrush in that it (gels) disrupts the natural biome and make it easier for the bad bacteria to proliferate. If you’re prone to cystitis anyway, it can tip you over the edge pretty quickly.
