The Rantings Of A Woman Of A Certain Age. Vlog December 2024

[@jacquelinegreen9157]

I agree with all your rants!! And I totally understand the hot flushes too. They will go in time, but the odd one might still pop up when you least expect it. Your decorations look lovely. Hope your garden hasn't suffered too much in the horrendous wind that we have had here in North Yorkshire since yesterday morning. And still it is raging! Take care. xx

[@kirstenscuriosities]

I wish the wind would stop!!

Totally agree with Kirstens, Gregg Wallys observations, I too never thought I would still be worrying about these issues so many years later, not just for my daughters but now for my grandaughters. I have taught my daughters to be more vocal and of how to deal with such things better than I did and my son to be respectful and mindful of people, (of any age) which I am proud to say he is. I hope your Menopause symptoms don't carry on for too long, mine lasted for nine months but it was so wonderful when they cleared up. x

[@kirstenscuriosities]

I feel like these hot flushes have just suddenly started

[@helenjowett5700]

[@kirstenscuriosities]

The lights are so lovely on these dark days

[@sandraparker7287]

Christmas decorations look lovely. ❤ for Jenny. Take care 😊

[@kirstenscuriosities]

Thank you! 🤗

[@deborahwhitefield9652]

Try Rescue Remedy night drops. Sweet bee organic sweet sleep magnesium butter. Feather & Down sweet dreams pillow spray.

[@kirstenscuriosities]

I’ve got some Avon pillow mist somewhere 😀

[@merrybeth627]

Loving the Christmas decorations, Darren did well 😊. 🌸❄️🌸❄️

[@kirstenscuriosities]

He did - I haven’t moved anything 😂

[@rosariccardi6893]

Hi Kirsten,hot flushes yeah you learn to live with them they do get better try drinking cammomile tea helps to relax you before you go to bed 😊

[@kirstenscuriosities]

I have started drinking more camomile tea - trying to reduce my caffeine

[@caththyssen2730]

Oh peri menopause/menopause! I struggled with the brain fog. It does come good! Be kind and patient with yourself. Hope your mum and MIL are ok.

[@kirstenscuriosities]

🤞🏻all these symptoms pass by quickly

[@Paintspotsandpaper]

Hi Kirsten Again!🙄🤣🤣 I’ve now watched the rest of the video. The hydrangeas and fuchsias lose their leaves and look like dead sticks in the winter, so don’t worry too much, some of yours may come back in spring, they’ll get new little shoots on the dead looking sticks. Thankyou so much for the lovely jewellery, I was so pleased with it. Three pieces I bought are for a small gift exchange I do at my friend’s yearly mulled wine evening and the other pieces are extra little bits to add to my two granddaughters Christmas gifts, I know they’ll all be delighted! Thankyou for sharing, take care and maybe try the mica. ❤❤🎄🎄🎄☃☃☃

[@kirstenscuriosities]

I’m so glad you love the jewellery- and I really appreciate your support

[@laura2051]

👍❤️ Jenny, happy birthday to your mum 💐 , the decorations look lovely Kirsten x

[@kirstenscuriosities]

Thanks

[@danicacharles4221]

Happy Birthday to your Mum 😊 Looking very festive just lovely 🎄🎄🎄 Beautiful 🌅 I am delighted with my purchase from you, thank you 😊❤ Be kind to yourself, Kirsten 😊❤

[@kirstenscuriosities]

I’m so glad you love your orders - thank you so much for supporting me

[@susangower558]

Hi Kirsty, I totally agree about how the GW issue and how it was badly handled. I don’t get hot flushes and have no trouble going to sleep. My issue is that I wake at about 4am and can’t get back to sleep,regardless of what time I go to bed 🤷‍♀️ Good luck with the sale of your treasure ⭐️

[@kirstenscuriosities]

I don’t mind if it’s 4 - I just get up it’s if it’s earlier I get really fed up. It’s madness that our bodies fight what we need 😂

[@GilliBryan]

The house looks very festive and twinkly. Sorry you are feeling off, hopefully you will feel better again soon.❤

[@kirstenscuriosities]

The lights certainly brighten the darker days

Nice collectables, love the polish pottery. Have a good week. 😊

[@kirstenscuriosities]

It is gorgeous 😍

[@gillianmoore2156]

Hi Kirsten, I take Menocool from Holland and Barrett for my hot flushes,they really do help. It's worth a try! Take care and happy birthday to your mum. 👍for little Jenny Xx Gill.

[@kirstenscuriosities]

Thank you - I’ll look into it

[@50angeleyes]

Regarding the Greg Wallace stuff there seem to be a lot of people saying it’s just Banter and making out women are being too sensitive. I watched an interview with the lady who was the ghost writer for his book and his behaviour was completely inacceptable. That’s my take on it. By the way, your decs look lovely

[@kirstenscuriosities]

Yep that exactly!

[@carolineahern9568]

HRT will take away your hot flashes and night sweats straight away.

[@kirstenscuriosities]

I will try and get a Dr appointment

[@valerieclorley7806]

🧡 Jenny.

[@kirstenscuriosities]

Happy Birthday Mum! ❤

[@HeatherNokes]

You could try taking the magnesium, right before bed, or if it's a couple of tablets, split them to morning and evening. I'm taking Chelated Magnesium by Solgar. I'm only taking half the daily dose right now, but that leaves me somewhere to go with it! I think it really helps everything. Too much magnesium can affect your stomach though so watch out for that. I'm also taking Wellwoman plus which has an oil tablet with it. Oh and Menopause support by A.Vogel! So there is a bit of magnesium in all of them. At night I take the Menopause support and the magnesium, and nights are pretty good, with the odd flush nearer the morning. Good luck and remember the book! 🙂

[@kirstenscuriosities]

I’ve started taking the magnesium in the evening- 🤞🏻

[@jillybeelivingherlifeherwa3704]

I agree, people need to remember not everyone gets your banter. I was jumped in a park by a older man, I was in my early 40’s he was late 50’s, he didn’t see my dog…. My dog warned him off with growls and teeth, I was thinking oh my god I need to fight him. I had the dog lead ready to defend myself, Within my job I have had rude comments and inappropriate behaviour by old men, I rounded on them very quickly. Soon reprogrammed them. 😅

[@kirstenscuriosities]

I genuinely think a lot of men don’t know that their behaviour is inappropriate

[@PatSimmons-g4r]

Sending hugs from Australia ♥

[@kirstenscuriosities]

Thank you

[@Paintspotsandpaper]

Hi Kirsten, sorry you’re going through it at the moment. I have to say that I found At the time that hrt was a game changer for me personally, however, I understand that Mica powder is very good for hot flushes. Just putting this in halfway through your video before I forget, I’m going to watch the rest in a minute. By the way, I consider any kind of creepy stalking, touching or sleazy suggestive behaviour especially from complete strangers an absolute no no as I have had more incidents of this since I was 15 doing an early morning paper round and over the years than I can count, but I just don’t take it quietly anymore! Off to watch the rest❤❤❤❤❤

[@kirstenscuriosities]

I find I don’t get any attention any more 😂 In the shop I would get looked at up and down on a daily basis - imagine if I looked at men like that!

[@sharonheppell8378]

Always a pleasure Kirsten 🙏 🪷 This to shall pass❤😊 Hope your feeling better 👍 Those flowers 💐 are beautiful Jenny is soo cute 😍 Take Care 🫶

[@kirstenscuriosities]

Thanks Sharon

[@dianereed9364]

I used red clover supplement for hot flashes - worked very well for me.

[@kirstenscuriosities]

Thank you - I will look into it

[@Paintspotsandpaper]

Me yet again! Sorry not Mica 🤣🤣🤣🤣🙄🙄🙄 Maca powder! The other one will really make you shine 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣❤❤❤

[@kirstenscuriosities]

😂😂😂

[@heatherleutscherwarren9459]

Hi Kirsten- love your Christmas decs. Have you tried valerian to help you sleep? X

[@kirstenscuriosities]

Not yet!

[@emilygilbert9892]

HRT!

[@kirstenscuriosities]

I’ll have to talk to a Dr

[@kirstierhodes2058]

Great video from a beautiful Soul. I'd say cut out the Magnesium,it's probably causing your headaches. Make a tea with sage leaves for the hot flushes and take Maca Organic. Really great at calming all the symptoms including anxiety

[@kirstenscuriosities]

Oh it’s so complicated- all the supplements and remedies 😀

[@kirstierhodes2058]

It's easy to take too much Magnesium as the body doesn't flush out what it doesn't need. You probably get quite a bit in your diet as well as you eat healthily. When you have too much Magnesium this can cause all the symptoms you are experiencing unfortunately. You're doing very well otherwise. The natural alternatives are better for the body. HRT has so many side effects too. Plus it just delays menopause until you stop taking it. So better just to go through the process of it. Hope that helps. We miss you here in Ottery by the way!

[@davejenkins6896]

I do get hot flushes 😮 apparently the manopause is a real thing 😂 I was sad to hear about your past experience with the 80 year old guy disgusting behaviour but I hope getting it out of your system will help you It is difficult with elderly parents mine have long gone funny though I never imagined I'd miss the mother in law as I do that old song about not knowing what you have got until it's gone is so true been enjoying Darren's channel and Lincolnshire pickers Court is such a breath of fresh air Best wishes to you all this Christmas and ❤ love to Jenny ❤❤😊😊 ❤❤❤❤

[@kirstenscuriosities]

Hot flushes are a pain! I hope you have a lovely Christmas

Not saying it will be warm but there is sun due for next week, I like a sunny cold day, good for a walk. I don't want to get into it because it makes me so angry but Iam with you on that our daughters should not have too put up with stuff, so much for evolution. Take care, see you next time😁

[@kirstenscuriosities]

I’ll be glad when the wind stops howling 😮

[@clementinemandarin7224]

Everyone in the Uk over the age of 18yrs is required by law to be on the electoral register. The register is required for data which is collected and used about residents. It gives you the option to vote. Some people never vote but are still required to be on the register. Hope this helps.

I guess it’s such a long time since we moved that I lost touch

Kirsten, you need to take your Magnesium in the evening, I have loads more tips around menopause haha but probably too many to post here😅😅 Also have you considered a low dose HRT?? X

[@kirstenscuriosities]

Thanks for the tip! I’m going to try and get a Dr appointment
