Forever Forty: Skincare, Ageing, Recipes & AI ChatGPT Prompts for Women Over 40
Forever Forty is a lifestyle platform for women navigating life after 40, with practical advice, inspiration, ideas and honest conversations about the things that matter in midlife. From AI prompts and ChatGPT to healthy meals, fitness, skincare, women’s health and beauty treatments, Forever Forty is about making this stage of life healthier, more confident, more interesting – and a lot more fun.
AI Prompts & ChatGPT
AI is changing the way we work, create and live, and you don’t need to be a technology expert to make it useful. Forever Forty explores AI prompts, ChatGPT prompts and creative ways to use ChatGPT, from transforming your photos and creating content to brainstorming ideas, planning, learning and making everyday life easier.
Discover creative ideas such as AI Prompts: Larger Than Life, or see what happened when I used ChatGPT to analyse my face. You can also explore my experience when ChatGPT challenged my professional colour analysis.
Our AI content is designed to make these powerful tools approachable, practical and fun.
Healthy & High-Protein Meals
Eating well doesn’t have to mean eating boring food. Forever Forty shares healthy meals and high-protein meals designed for real life, with delicious recipes and practical ideas for getting more protein and good nutrition into your day.
For an easy example, try my go-to high-protein milkshake – a simple way to add more protein to your day.
Protein Powder & Creatine
Protein becomes an increasingly important part of many women’s nutrition and fitness routines as we get older. Forever Forty explores protein powder, creatine and other popular fitness and nutrition products, looking at what they are, how they can fit into your routine and what you should know before adding them to your diet.

Perimenopause & Women’s Health
Perimenopause can bring a whole range of physical and emotional changes, yet many women reach this stage without knowing what to expect. Forever Forty explores perimenopause, menopause, hormones, nutrition, fitness and the everyday realities of navigating midlife.
You can also explore the more creative side of the conversation with Create Your Own Perimenopausal Barbie, or read about the connection between PCOS and perimenopause.
We also explore PCOS (polycystic ovary syndrome) and other women’s health topics, providing accessible information and conversations around the issues that can affect women throughout different stages of their lives.
Skincare & Beauty Over 40
Your skin doesn’t suddenly stop being beautiful because you turned 40. Forever Forty explores skincare for women over 40, including skincare routines, ingredients, beauty products, treatments and the changing needs of mature skin.
If you’ve ever stared at the back of a skincare product wondering what half the ingredients actually mean, start with How to Read a Skincare Ingredients List Without Needing a Chemistry Degree.
Forever Forty also looks honestly at the realities of ageing and beauty, including the problem with telling women to “embrace ageing”.
BBL Laser & Beauty Treatments
Technology has opened up an ever-growing world of aesthetic and skincare treatments. Forever Forty explores treatments such as BBL laser, as well as other beauty and skin treatments, helping women understand what they are, what they are designed to do and what the experience is really like.
Read about my experience when I tried BBL laser in my 40s – and then tried “Boxi”. You can also read about my experience with microblading and powder brows.
Life After 40
Forever Forty is ultimately about much more than getting older. It’s about life after 40 – the things we discover, the things we question, the things we change and the things we finally stop worrying about.
Whether you’re looking for a new AI prompt, a healthy or high-protein meal, information about perimenopause or PCOS, advice on skincare, a protein powder or creatine review, or simply some inspiration for making the most of life, Forever Forty is a space for women who aren’t interested in fading quietly into the background.
We’re still learning. Still experimenting. Still trying new things.
And we’re definitely not done yet.
