If In Doubt, Wash Your Hair: A manual for Life… by Anya Hindmarsh #newbook.

Love Anya Hindmarch ( and love this bag!)
She is a mother of five, stepmother, entrepreneur and globally renowned businesswoman.

‘Always interested in combating the afflictions of doubt and fear – particularly for women in their mid-40s to mid-60s –  she’s now written a book about it. If In Doubt, Wash Your Hair: A Manual For Life .

A compendium of the tips and tricks she has gathered over the years. From practical tips and quick fixes, to profound observations about confidence and creativity, this inspiring handbook will show you how to live a little better and why sometimes, the answer can be as simple as washing your hair.’

‘We’re trying to do the thing our fathers did and the things our mothers did and that often leads to feeling as though we aren’t doing any of it properly. You doubt yourself and it leads to unhappiness. The book is for all those women who’ve approached me and told me about their fears. It’s for my friends and my daughter Tia [who’s 31], to help her understand where my generation is coming from.’

“I hate talking about the silver linings of the pandemic when it has been so hideous for so many people, but one thing it did teach me was to consider the joys of a simpler life and that’s really what the whole concept behind The Village is”

“The pandemic made me realise just how much of a conveyor belt we’ve all been on. How we dash around the planet guzzling too much gas, how we’ve forgotten the importance of community and family and how a lot of what we really want has been right on our doorsteps all along.’

‘Maybe it’s a function of hitting my 50s. One is forced to isolate what really matters and what doesn’t.’

“Women spend so much time beating themselves up for not having perfect figures, me included, but in the end, what for? We have to make peace with ourselves about what ultimately we cannot change that much anyway’

‘My attitude is, yes, it’s annoying I don’t have an amazing figure, but I’ve got pretty good hair and that’s good enough!’

‘I’d label my children if I could.’ on ‘nerdy fascination’ with order has led to a labelling machine, a jokey Christmas gift from her brother, becoming her go-to gadget.

“fear and excitement are the same emotion. They make you feel the same way, and you can decide: which one are you feeling? It was like a penny dropping. As an entrepreneur, I’m frightened all the time: that I’m hiring the wrong person, or that an idea won’t translate into reality. ‘
