“I can’t believe I’m adding modelling to my life’s adventures.”

“Wow, here I am at 58, approaching the big 60, and I can’t believe I’m adding modelling to my life’s adventures.” It’s a sentiment that fills me with both excitement and gratitude. The incredible opportunity to be a part of OceanRoad swimwear’s collection has been a joy beyond measure. Their unwavering belief in celebrating “us ladies” is truly inspiring, and I’m thrilled to be a part of it.

“Throughout my life, I’ve often been labelled a ‘big girl’.”

Throughout my life, I’ve often been labelled a ‘big girl’. Born at a whopping 9 pounds and 9 ounces, standing tall at 175 centimetres, and sporting a size 10 foot, it’s no wonder that societal standards can make you feel less than happy about your body. Stepping into this modelling role required some inner work and self-acceptance, a journey that continues to evolve.

“Plenty of time for rest when you’re dead.”

I’m also a proud mother to two beautiful daughters and a loving stepmother to three wonderful children and their partners. Besides, I’m blessed with six amazing grandchildren. My commitment to staying fit and healthy is driven by my life motto, “Plenty of time for rest when you’re dead.” I live an active life filled with camping, hiking, fishing, golfing, gardening, and daily walks, aiming to reach my 10,000 steps a day.

To maintain balance, I adhere to what I call the “FER theory”:

  1. Food: Eat well
  2. Exercise: Find enjoyment in it
  3. Rest: Prioritize sleep

This, coupled with my mobile meditation (yes, those 10,000 steps), has been my secret weapon in navigating the challenges of menopause and nurturing my mental well-being.

“Yes, you can be sun-smart and still bit sassy!”

Years of outdoor work and play have left their mark on my skin. Growing up without sun hats or sunscreen and opting for coconut oil sunbathing in our teenage years took a toll. That’s why I was ecstatic about OceanRoad swimwear’s range, which prioritizes sun safety without compromising on style. Yes, you can be sun-smart and still be sassy!

“Here’s to the next chapter of life’s incredible journey!”

My husband, Rick, and I embarked on a grand adventure in late September 2022, accompanied by our beloved 10-year-old Labrador, Marley, a true heartbreaker. Our planned 12-month journey has taken us across vast landscapes, from crossing the Nullarbor into South Australia, venturing through Victoria, up into New South Wales, across Queensland, and over to NT where I met Tanya who offered me the chance to model some of her collection.

Life at 58 is about embracing new opportunities, celebrating the skin you’re in, and embarking on epic adventures with loved ones. Here’s to the next chapter of life’s incredible journey!
