Life Happens  – Beauty

For women 50 and over or soon entering this new age range, this is a space for me to share my experiences in midlife with you. Embrace your age, wisdom, and this new chapter with me.

Makeup or no makeup?

I know, not the most pressing topic of today but I thought it would be fun to reach out to my followers and ask. If you are a makeup wearer would you run errands sans makeup? There are no hard and fast rules about whether women over 50 should wear makeup or not.  But...

Changing the Narrative on Aging Starts With Us

Have you ever caught yourself saying dang not bad for 58? Can I start a new career at my age? Or should I really wear torn jeans at 55? Well I know I have and we (me) need to stop that narrative. Age really is just a number and we need to ignore that inside voice that...

Self Tanning Products for that Sun Kissed Glow

Well it may be the second day of spring but it certainly does not feel like it in our area. We have had weeks of off and on rain and dark clouds and other than one sunny week in Mexico I miss my daily dose of California sunshine. And quite honestly even when the sun...

Ageism and the Appearance of Women over 50

Ageism is a huge topic and I can't tackle all of it in a single post. But I do want to talk about our skin as we age and how we choose to age. Discussing both aging naturally-drinking plenty of water, healthy eating, cremes and serums, and a little less natural with...

You look good!

Note to self! If you follow me you know that I am constantly reminding women to know that they look good. Not I look good for 55 or 65 or 75, I look good period! And when someone pays you a compliment, thank them and move on. No stories about oh if you only knew me in...

Fashion for Women Over 50

Do you let your age determine what you wear? I don't usually write about fashion because I believe there are so many women already doing a brilliant job of posting on fashions for women over 50, especially on Instagram. But since I created 50 is Just a Number to talk...

Fashion Complacent

Fall Fashion Okay truth be told I have gotten a little lazy in my attire. First it was moving to a small town in the Sonoma Wine country where almost everyone is in jeans, except  tourists. And then COVID took loungewear to a whole new level, we had an excuse not to...

Confident at 50+

Confidence is the best accessory you can wear! Confidence can come at any age. For some we peak in our teen years, others it's our 30's and many of you will be happy to know our 60's has been mentioned in several articles as our most confident decade. Confidence can...

Embracing aging, well almost!

Attitude is everything for successful aging August is my birthday month and with turning a year older comes a lot of reflection, thoughts about what makes me happy, how do I want to spend my time to make these the best years of my life. I think about family and...

Self Tanning Products For Women Over 50

My favorite products for that sun kissed look After our teen years most of us have learned that the sun is very damaging, from early aging, drying of the skin, to skin cancer. But that doesn't mean we no longer enjoy that sun kissed look, that I am just back from...
