I never stopped wanting my husband. The desire was all still there - the dryness was the problem. For about two years I told myself I was just tired. The truth was harder: I’d got dry enough that intimacy had started to hurt, and “not tonight” had quietly turned into a habit I never actually chose. It was never about him, and it was never about me losing interest. My body had simply stopped keeping up — and I didn’t yet understand why. I did everything you’re meant to do. Lubricants — I lost count. Moisturisers. A cream the doctor suggested. They all did the same thing: helped for the few minutes they were on, then nothing. Because they sit on the surface. And the surface was never really the problem. HRT wasn’t on the table for me. Some women can’t take it. Some are told not to. Some try it and it barely helps. And almost none of us were ever told there was something studied that wasn’t a hormone. Here’s what finally made sense to me. After menopause, oestrogen drops and the tissue itself changes — it thins and loses some of its ability to hold moisture. The cells in that tissue are built partly from fats. A lubricant can’t change that. It’s like misting a houseplant’s leaves while the roots stay bone dry. The dryness is on the surface. The change is in the tissue. Senora is a daily softgel of sea buckthorn oil. You swallow it like food. Its omega-7-rich fatty acids are absorbed and used to support the lipid-rich cell membranes and mucosal tissue — the layer that’s meant to hold moisture in the first place. Not wetness on top. Support underneath. And not just any sea buckthorn. he omega-7 lives in the fruit — the pulp oil — not the seed. Senora is built around the fruit-oil fraction, which is why a cheaper “sea buckthorn,” often seed oil or an undisclosed blend, may not have done much. And it isn’t a hunch. In a 2014 randomised, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial in Maturitas, 116 postmenopausal women took 3g of sea buckthorn oil daily for three months. They were 3.1 times more likely to improve their vaginal tissue integrity than the women on placebo. Not surface moisture — the integrity of the tissue itself. I’ve been taking it three months now. It wasn’t a switch flipping. It was quieter than that — one evening I realised I wasn’t bracing. The dread went first. And then it was just us again. If the desire is still there and your body just isn’t keeping up, this is worth understanding properly. I’ve put the study, the dose, and how it works below. P.S. It’s non-hormonal — no oestrogen — which is exactly why it’s worth a look if hormones aren’t an option for you. P.P.S. Three softgels a day. Nothing to apply, nothing to time, no cream living by the bed. P.P.P.S. Give it the full twelve weeks the study used — Senora backs it with a 90-day money-back guarantee, the same window, so the trial’s on them, not you. Individual results vary.

As my husband handed his mistress credit for my work on a global livestream, I smiled and applauded. He was Julian Croft, the newly crowned Chef of the Year. I was the one who actually ran the kitchen. And I was Ava Reed, the wife he’d never publicly acknowledged. His acceptance speech was an ode to the restaurant manager, Isabella. He called her his muse, his source of inspiration. Under his adoring gaze, the woman cried beautifully. The audience was eating it up. Julian came over to me, expecting a scene. I simply raised my glass. “Congratulations.” He froze for a moment, then smiled, praising my composure, my understanding of the moment. He didn’t know my composure came from a place of certainty. My work was already done. He didn’t know the partnership dissolution agreement, disguised as a routine document, was already waiting for his signature. And he had no idea that in a few hours, blinded by the applause, he would sign away his entire future. His performance was a masterpiece. But my counterattack was just getting started. … I ignored the smug look on Julian’s face and threaded my way through the throng of guests. The air, thick with champagne and forced pleasantries, was suffocating. I just needed to get outside and breathe. But Isabella intercepted me, blocking my path. Her face was a mask of practiced concern, her voice cloyingly sweet. “Ava, I know this must be difficult, but everything we do is for the restaurant, right?” She reached for my arm, a familiar, collegial gesture that was a complete lie. My body recoiled before my mind could catch up. I took a half step back, her hand landing on empty air. It was a small movement, but it was enough to crack the perfect facade of warmth on her face. Isabella’s eyes instantly welled with tears. She turned to Julian, who was standing nearby, her voice trembling. “Julian, I was just trying to get Ava to join us… She’s not being a team play......

I let the supply contract with Whole Foods expire. I also “forgot” to prepare the ranch’s financial statements for the next quarter. The water rights renewal, the document that was the very lifeblood of our ranch, I buried under a pile of junk mail. I’m Ava, Caleb Walker’s wife. I’m the woman who used her own money and ten years of her life to turn a failing family ranch into a modern business empire. And now, I was going to destroy it with my own hands. At last week’s barbecue, Caleb put his family’s century-old cowboy hat—the symbol of his legacy—on his illegitimate son’s head in front of everyone. His mistress, Briar, stood beside him, proudly announcing to the crowd that the ranch hands all took their orders from her now. In that moment, something inside me died. I didn’t make a scene. I just calmly finished my beer. But Caleb didn’t know that from that moment on, his reign as the “cowboy king” was on borrowed time. He finally came to me when the......
