Things people don’t tell you about growing up: you acquire a taste for wine, the technology you grew up with becomes obsolete, what people think matters less and less and, of course, the first body part to feel the full effects of time is the good ol’ bum.



There’s only so much you can do at the gym and genetics play a HUGE part. And in this Kardashian-obsessed, high-waisted era, how you’re holding up when walking away is starting to really affect women’s confidence levels worldwide.
