Finding Joy in Simple, Everyday Moments – Teanette

I’m Teanette (Tea for short), a British blogger in my mid-40s, navigating this stage of life with curiosity, humour, and a refusal to slow down. I write about what matters most to women like me—health, travel, lifestyle, and the real, unfiltered experiences that come with middle age.

Let’s be honest: getting older comes with its challenges. Perimenopause? Yep, I’m in it. Changing priorities? Absolutely. But I don’t believe for a second that life after 40 is about fading into the background. If anything, it’s a time to embrace who we are, prioritise ourselves, and explore what truly makes us feel alive.

I’m here to have real conversations—about health without the fads, travel without the guilt, and living fully without waiting for permission. My writing is honest, practical, and always with a touch of humour because, let’s face it, midlife can be wildly unpredictable.

I don’t have it all figured out, but I do know this: life in your 40s isn’t the end of the story—it’s the start of a whole new chapter. And I’m here to make the most of it.
