Hot flashes are no laughing matter!

Updated: Jun 19

Ciao bella! Today, I want to talk about a topic that is near and dear to the hearts of many post-menopausal Italian women: hot flashes. Yes, those sudden waves of heat that make us feel like we're standing on the surface of the sun.

Now, you might think that Hot flashes are no laughing matter!, but let me tell you, sometimes you've just got to laugh to keep from crying. I mean, have you ever been in the middle of a serious conversation, and then suddenly your face turns beet red, sweat starts pouring down your forehead, and you feel like you're going to spontaneously combust? It's like your body has decided to play a cruel joke on you, and all you can do is laugh it off.



But here's a fun fact that I think will resonate with my fellow post-menopausal Italian women: did you know that we have a long tradition of using olive oil to keep our skin looking young and supple? That's right, we've been slathering ourselves in olive oil for centuries, long before it became a trendy beauty treatment. And let me tell you, it works wonders. I may be past the age of 50, but my skin is as smooth as a baby's bottom (or at least, that's what I tell myself).


And speaking of moisturizers, have you tried the new Yuzu-scented Body Custard? It's a game-changer, let me tell you. Not only does it smell amazing, but it also leaves your skin feeling soft and silky smooth. I swear by it, and I think you will too.



So, to all my fellow post-menopausal Italian women out there, let's embrace our hot flashes, keep slathering on the olive oil, and indulge in a little bit of Yuzu-scented luxury. After all, we've earned it!
