Welcome to Fifty Faux. A safe place to navigate the changes mid-century life brings while celebrating all it gives

Behind Fifty Faux

Hey, I’m Fiona, Fi to my friends. So please, call me Fi.

I’ve always wanted to write a blog. So, I figured what better time of my life to finally do it. A celebration of  being “Fifty Faux” (get it). All of it – the good, the bad and the ugly, “I have a hair there?” chapters of a mid century modern life. While I envision this as a place of positivity  I hope it’s relatable and open although each of our stories and what brought us to this place look very different.

Behind Fifty Faux

I'm not a psychologist, stylist or health expert, but I am passionate about all of these things and more that help me enjoy my mid-century life. My Most importantly, let’s open up about the changes and (wait for it) menopause - That’s a tough one. Here's the deal ageism is out there I see and feel it everyday. I feel 30 inside, but it's sometimes difficult when a mirror tells you otherwise. As I continue to fill my book of life I'd be honoured if you read along. If my story is ever reviewed I hope it's said that it was funny, honest, very sad in parts and "Whoa I didn't see that coming."

Oh, here’s the bio part. I’m a marketing professional living in Toronto. I love any TV that includes the words “The Real Housewives or 90 Day...” I am a crazy animal lover with two cats Shiloh and Sid...did I lose you there? I have a small group of supportive and irreplaceable girlfriends and I’m deeply and obsessively in love with my boyfriend of ten years, Sam. Now, happily living out my dream of writing a blog.

So, let's write a happy ending. Thanks for being part of my fantasy job.

The 5 a.m. Club – Robin Sharma

Every month I’ll focus on a personal development book that’s a must-read. This is my pick for the concept only. If you can cut through the far-fetched story line ((understatement) to get to the practical benefits of an early start, or if you’re into spirituality then this one’s for you. If you’re into giving it a go be sure to check out my Morning Routine post!

I am obsessed with the 70’s (movies, music, but particularly (maybe oddly) catalogues. I might still wear this today (in a different fabrication of course)…check out these work from home options.
