Taking a leaf out of Sunita’s book…

Posted on by

neem_leavesIf you’re wondering what possible connection there could be between an Indian ‘wonder leaf’ and being Fabulous After 40, you need to be listening to next Sunday’s show…

Join the Girls Around Town when they meet Sunita Passi to learn how she not only found her own new kind of fabulous but is now helping others to do the same.

After a career as a business journalist interviewing heads of government, business and finance in different countries across the world, Sunita took time out to travel to Kerala where she trained in Ayurveda.

Returning to the UK in 2002, she set about developing a training programme for therapists in Ayurvedic massage techniques, which she launched in 2005. A range of Tri-Dosha products followed and three years ago she qualified as a meditation teacher, receiving her certificate dated on her 40th birthday.

I hope my story inspires other women entrepreneurs who look to make a difference in our incredible world

Fast forward to March 2016 and here’s where that ‘wonder leaf’ comes in – in her biggest business venture yet, Sunita is now on the brink of introducing a new diffusion range based on the Indian herb Neem,  which will be on sale across the UK soon…

Tune in or listen online between 10am and 12 noon on Sunday to find out more about Ayurveda, Sunita’s amazing journey and of course just what it is that makes that Indian leaf so wonderful!

Finding your super savvy style

wear red

Do you feel too old to follow fashion but still want to be on trend? Worry about looking like mutton dressed as lamb – or your mother?

You can describe the kind of clothes you like best but, all too often, when you decide to try something a little bit different, it just ends up unworn at the back of the wardrobe.

Or you’ve put it on once for a night out and somehow it didn’t feel quite right…

Sounds familiar? Well, according to this week’s guest, Lisa Newport of My Ruby Slippers, here’s why: it’s usually because you’ve veered away from your natural clothing personality, creating disharmony in your overall look.

Clothing is a form of self expression – Marc Jacobs

It’s all about figuring out which colours suit you and which key clothing styles work for your body shape, identifying your clothing tastes and then throwing lifestyle and personality into the mix. She even has a quiz for clients, using a series of multiple choice questions to establish which one of the six clothing personality styles is the best fit…

Join the Girls Around Town on Sunday and you’ll learn how Lisa helps clients to define and understand their clothing personality,  avoid ‘wardrobe wobbles’ and develop their own style and image.

Tune in or listen online between 10am and 12 noon to pick up some pointers on how you can discover your own super savvy style and find your fabulous!
