Women 'happiest at 28'

I saw this headline and thought, ‘YAY’, as tomorrow I will attain this age of sheer joy, but then I read further and realise that this was a conclusion drawn by a brand of hair colour which kindly assures me and my cohort that “Reaching and surpassing your twenties no longer triggers the downward spiral of your looks and self-confidence.”

I guess it happens when you turn 40, now.

In all seriousness, however, I am lucky to have as a role model a mother who didn’t get married until she was 30 (in the 1970s!) and who has continued to be a paragon of self-confidence and a vision of loveliness ever since, even sans the aid of drugstore hair colour.
