We are talking fashion and beauty this week with special guest Joanna Louise Baxter. Hear why 52 year old Joanne never bought second hand before Clobber Swap and why she loves our group. Joanne also answers some quick fire beauty questions and reveals why she has the motivation as a single parent to keep fighting through each week.

I wasn’t expecting to hear so many clobber members feeling under the weather this week. It reminds me why we have to ask our friends and family members if they’re actually ok? Don’t accept a “fine” answer we know women aren’t fine when they answer using this non descript word. I asked a male friend if he was ok this week and I wasn’t expecting his answer! Q - Do we need more testosterone ladies? Hear the pros and cons for taking this alongside HRT! Lee said I definitely don’t need testosterone as I’ve already got enough!! Lol Cheeky! I actually agree with him. Finally, it’s the season for cardigans and chunky knits, there has been some fab items on Clobber Swap so please don’t forgot to tempt people with your wardrobe; let’s aim to keep the pennies in our purses and “swap”! It’s guilt free shopping that way!

“We love our Winter wardrobes don’t we, we love snuggly jumpers, teddy coats, pleathers, capes and hats. Long boots, maxi dresses and gilets make the perfect Autumn outfit. I also discuss the importance of good skin care when you go through menopause; Vichy serum is supposedly the best. I also discuss fabulous women who decide “enough is enough”. We have some real warriors in our group and we like nothing better than to help get them get through the tough times. I met our latest warrior this week, I was so excited to see her.

Hear 👂🏼 how we got on!

And finally all our group members are helping to reduce clothes going to landfill, we can’t thank you enough”.

I talk about how we all felt after our Queen’s funeral. I discuss some of the amazing swaps I’ve done and what special gift I left in the pocket of a coat I clobber sold. I also tell you why an ex colleague told me off for setting up Clobber Swap 3 years ago and why he was deeply concerned for Lee. We’ve had the best results on clobber swap since inception, find out what bargains I’ve seen and why sustainable fashion is at an all time high! I also took my son to Rassam’s creamery in Wakefield, but did we enjoy it??

I talk about our wonderful Queen, and the sadness of losing her as monarch. I also talk about new members being a little too giddy and annoying older members for not reading the rules. Giving prizes away and finding out a members father, lives next door to the house I lived in as a child. I also have a plea for members to help a lady who has started up on her own with nothing but her kids to give her the strength to survive. She has endured a difficult 7 years and has escaped mental abuse and I would love us all to help her.

Aww I’ve Missed you, but needed to prioritise what’s important at home but so pleased I’m back. Omg clobber swap has increased significantly over night by nearly a thousand people, so lots of love and kudos to style Queen Heidi Ondrak and her TokTok fame. What else have I been upto, a bit of wild swimming perhaps… errrrr well let’s see if it was me and let’s live in the moment to help our mental state and bring joy to your life by being positive and lifting others.

I’ve loved talking this week, I chat all things fashion, holiday clobber, the wonderful Ikos resorts Greece and why we got stranded in Kefalos. I also share my six magic beauty tips and why I can’t live without LV lash lifts.

I have loved this weeks clobber cast; it’s been so amazing on clobberswap. There’s so many items of clothing and for me I realise I have too many beach cover ups, so don’t let me buy anymore. Being grateful for my sisters and my mum being so wonderfully glam, present and strong. Packing for Greece and what I will wear and finally how to battle daily challenges be more Moira.

Week 14 - wow what don’t I talk about, I probably go on and on this week to make up for last week. I share some fashion tips, I talk about our wonderful clobber members, free clobber gifts, competitions to WIN, shoulder shuffles and moonwalks and last but not least, my favourite beauty products.
