'People tell me they think I'm in my 30s because of the way I am,' the 'I hang around with people in their 30s, so they talk about what 30‑year‑olds talk about, like 'I say to my older friends, 'Have you watched Love Island?' and they're like, 'God no, I wouldn't watch that.' read more on beauty 'It's just little things like that. 'People also tell me I'm too old to have long hair, but when you look at people like 'As long as it's healthy and you look after it, there's no reason it can't be longer over 50.

Three hair mistakes that are making you look older THERE are some hair mistakes to avoid if you don't want to make yourself look older than you actually are: One dimensional hair colour - it's a good idea to visit a hairdresser to get your colour done. Using a box dye can leave you with one block colour, so steer clear. Hair that's too dark around the hairline - "Add softer, lighter tones and shades around the sides of the face to bring lift and life to your eyes; too dark a colour will do the opposite and feel very gaunt and dreary," Jack Howard, UK colour spokesperson for L'Oreal, said. Sticking to the hair colour of your youth - While you might have looked good with jet black hair in your 20s, the same may not be said now you're in your 50s. The general rule is that your hair colour should lighten with age, just as your skin tone does. 'My older friends talk about what they're crocheting.'

But at the same time, one woman wrote: 'Some people are so jealous, they lack common sense, live your life darling.' The reality of living in a council house LEANNE Hall, Digital Writer at Fabulous, has discussed what it was like growing up in a council house, and why those living in such properties are often judged... When I was a child I grew up in a council house, and was blissfully unaware of the discrimination that came with that, until I became an adult. My younger years were spent running up and down the stairs of my flat, meeting with other friends who lived there and making the most of the communal garden. But now, it seems no matter your circumstance, everyone has something to say about why you shouldn't be there. Living just outside of London like I did, rent prices are still high, and as my mum was at home raising three kids at the time, it wasn't easy to find a job that fit around that. People in council houses are often labelled as 'scroungers' or 'lazy' but it's nothing of the sort. Most families in council homes experience overcrowding, and let's not even mention the horrendous amount of damp and mould that comes from living in old social housing that hasn't had work done to them in 50 or so years. It's not ideal for many, but it does provide a secure home without the fear your rent will shoot up every single year, which I would argue is vital to children growing up on the poverty line.

Advertisement How to keep cool in hot weather Most of us welcome hot weather, but when it's too hot, there are health risks. Here are three ways to keep cool according to the NHS... Keep out of the heat if you can. If you have to go outside, stay in the shade especially between 11am and 3pm, wear sunscreen, a hat and light clothes, and avoid exercise or activity that makes you hotter. Cool yourself down. Have cold food and drinks, avoid alcohol, caffeine and hot drinks, and have a cool shower or put cool water on your skin or clothes. Keep your living space cool. Close windows during the day and open them at night when the temperature outside has gone down. Electric fans can help if the temperature is below 35 degrees. Check the temperature of rooms, especially where people at higher risk live and sleep. Another commented: "They also have a spray that works well."
