Women Over Fifty Rock

Most of us have noticed that there are women out there that look awesome at fifty and above.  We admire these women because they take the time to look great and make aging look easy.  How do these women do it?  What is their secret?  Here's what I think:

Women who care about the way they look present a persona who is joyful and youthful.  They present themselves in a way that says they care and they adorn themselves in their own personal style. Women who take the extra time and make the extra effort to look great usually defy their age.  We could all learn something from this simple idea.  When you look awesome you feel awesome.  It may be onl part of the process but it's a very essential one. Caring about the way she looks takes an every day women to an extraordinary one. There is much to be said about the perfect "little black dress."

Self-care is another basic element of women who look good at any age.  Women who take care of themselves by using products that moisterize their skin and make-up to enhance their facial features make aging more graceful.  These are the women who will spend a little money on products that help them to care for their skin and beauty products to color their hair and lengthen their lashes.  Women are not afraid to use products that enhance their already beautiful self.  It may be just a saying that "blonds have more fun" but the reality is that some women look better as blonds because of their skin color or just because they rock the color.  Women are not afraid to do whatever it takes to look ageless and create a youthful look.

We all know that staying active is an essential part of staying young.  Women who stay active keep their youthful appearance by doing things that keep them going.  Women who stay active maintain a body that is healthier and more vibrant.  Exercise keeps all of us looking better longer.  Whether is it yoga, weight training, dancing or jogging, women who exercise stay looking good for longer and look younger than they are.  The best reason to stay active is to feel great longer but looking great is an additional bonus.

Attitude is everything I think.  Women who look and think youthful have a youthful attitude.  I call it being sassy and refusing to let your age define you.  Women who do not let their age change their thinking about beauty and worthiness keep their youthful attitude and hence their youthful look.  It is much like walking the walk and knowing that age is not what defines us.  In fact women who have a great attitude show us all that age is not what really matters but attitude that really matters.  Included in attitude is the way we walk, our posture and the fact that we are unafraid to show that young girl inside.  Once we know that the young girl inside can come forward we can allow her to come out to play and be seein.

Believing that age does not define us is likely the one main reason that women look youthful at 50 and above.  Believing that age has nothing to do with how beautiful or valuable we are is most of the journey to living a life that is vibrant and joyful while looking great.  Understanding that beauty is ageless is the reason that many women look awesome at any age.  We could all learn something from women about looking great at any age and if we pay attention as men we too could look great at any age.
