Encouraging and equipping women over 60 to live their best life!
Why is it that sometimes as women, we need permission to do what we want or need to do for ourselves? Somewhere down the line we’ve picked up the notion that if we do so, we are being selfish! It is not selfish to put yourself up at the top of your priority list.
During the height of the global pandemic, I celebrated my 60th birthday. This was indeed a major milestone. In New Mexico, Salons were shut down, then reopened, then shut down again, and later reopened. All around me I saw women panicking about their beauty. How would they handle the grow out of gray hair, lack of perms and haircuts, and, worse, they so desperately needed their nails done. It was a crazy time for everyone. As I blew out my birthday candles, I realized that I had been coloring my hair for 32 years!!! OMG! For more than half my life, I had been applying toxic hair dye to my scalp every three weeks.
When we reach this sweet spot in life, we get to choose how we want to look and what effort we wish to expend to get there. We will have additional blogs with more specifics, but for now, I offer a general overview of what Looking Our Best at 60+ might mean for you.
If you are like me, that image in the mirror looks more like a stranger on the street than who your own mental image says you are! Did you know that Barbie is now over 70….and if she is anything like the REAL US, I know there should be several new-“old” Barbie’s on the drawing…
One would think that by the age of 60+, we would have reached the pinnacle for being comfortable in our own skin. But sadly, that’s not always true. I think we can all agree that true b-e-a-u-t-y is not achieved through the multi-billion-dollar beauty, fashion, and image industry.
