About FiftySister
FiftySister is me – Gail, gliding through midlife full of energy and enthusiasm. I love; wearing colourful clothing, each and every shade of pink lipstick and rocking silver hair. I am English, 54, married with one son, and currently living in an orange grove in Tavira, Algarve with my two Hungarian Vizslas – Ginger & Bird.
50 was a turning point in my life, it started a journey of personal development. Having been a daughter, wife and mother, it was now time to focus on me. It was an opportunity to restart my life.I overhauled my; diet, fitness, lifestyle and outlook on life. Managing midlife is key. We plan for education, marriage and motherhood, but what about midlife and beyond? I studied how I could evolve and become the best version of me.
I am a professional chatterbox, embracing midlife, silver hair, ageing and all my wobbly bits. My passion is being outdoors, cycling, hiking, wild swimming, paddleboarding, running my online stores and social media channels.
I started my Instagram account after my son suggested I share with other women how I transformed my life age 50 and my passion for life. I never expected anyone else to be interested, but here I am 2 years later with over 60,000 followers.
It amazing to receive emails and messages from women all over the world, who have decided to ditch the dye or make big changes to their lives after being inspired by my posts.
Forum
I receive many messages via DM on Instagram, asking for my help and advice. If I can help by sharing my own experience and thoughts I will – of course. But there are so many questions that I can’t help with, which I know other women can. So, I built a forum on my website specifically for midlife women. Ask a question, or answer a question, we are all in this together. Just sign up and create a username to start contributing to the forum. I am truly grateful to the many new subscribers who have joined in the past week. I will (in the future) be sending you discount codes and offers so repay you for your efforts.
T shirt store
I design and sell ethical and organic T shirts via my store. I care about how and where the cotton is grown, the price farmers are paid, which ink is used for the printing and even the choice of packaging is of the utmost importance in my supply chain. A truly ethical store, every step of the way. New designs coming soon! Check my store for latest arrivals.
