50s is a GOOD place to be






Ladies Ladies Ladies .....don't allow the prospect of turning 50, being 50 or north of 50 dampen your spirit. This middle stage of our lives can be a period where our focus maybe shifting from career building and raising a family to self care and setting the course for the the years ahead.

At no other time have we enjoyed our own company as much as we do now.  Never did we ever think that having the house to ourselves was a celebratory event and doing nothing was actually pleasurable. The idea of having alone time for extended periods was not possible while raising a young family and rightfully catering to their needs. Of course when occasions come around to get together with friends and loved ones we absolutely relish those.

It is in our 50s that we have found a hobby that energizes us.  Our Instagram posting is a source of pleasure and provides an outlet to share our love for great style.  We get to inspire other women and get inspiration from them. Not to mention we get to keep our fashion game current. 

It is also in our 50s that we ended our longstanding relationship with hair dye and embraced  the colour that our hair naturally grows from our head.  We respectfully acknowledge that this may not be a popular choice but our point is that it is our 50s that we became comfortable doing the things that are meaningful to us as opposed to what was expected.

At a time when our bodies may not look their best we are more mindful to put the best into our bodies.  We have become more focused on the nutritional value of our food and what good it can do for us. This is not to suggest that we pass on the occasional opportunity to indulge in a decadent treat. 

We make it a point to have a coffee date 1-2times a week...and to be honest these coffee dates are just a dishonest title for shopping dates. Prior to the pandemic we made a concerted effort to go to the gym. We see these as activities that we can carry on into our retirement years (yes we said it) so that when the time comes we will already have some routines to look forward to or that we could even expand on.

So ladies embrace your 50s.  We can't turn the clock back so let's set the stage to propel us into a happy fulfilled journey ahead.

5 ways to look classy in your 50's

Image
 Have you ever seen someone walk by and say to yourself  "WOW that lady looks so classy ....whats her secret?" We will give you 5 easy steps to make looking classy attainable for every woman and particularly for those of us over 50. 1. Pay attention to detail.   This point is so very important. Anything with strings hanging, buttons missing, too tight, too long, too short, too wrinkled, too pily automatically devalue their worth and come off as being cheap.  The same can be said of shoes with tattered heels and bags with broken straps. It's better to wear a few items that are in great shape than a multitude that are in substandard condition. 2. Invest in a classic full length dark colored coat A coat is the one item in our closet that gets the most wear. Often it is the only piece of our outfit that is seen by others. There is not one occasion or  piece of clothing that a long coat can't be worn with.  They come in particularly handy for those special ...

3 Things You NEED To Clear Out Of Your Closet Right NOW

Image
 So spring is officially upon us......although some days the temperature makes us feel otherwise.  Regardless of what the thermometer might read there are some things that need to be making their way out of our closets at this very minute.  1. The winter PARKA should now be placed at the back of the closet or sent to the cleaners in preparation for two or three seasons from now.  While it may still be a bit cold out its a good time to do some layering up.  A sweater in a fun colour mixed with a coordinating scarf and topped with a trench  can provide the warmth necessary for a cooler spring day.  On warmer days take advantage of the opportunity to wear cardigans, kimonos and vests which might have been difficult to wear under a winter coat. 2.It's a good time to switch up that ALL BLACK suit that has been a staple for much of the winter.  Opt for a pop of colour to break up that dark coloured suit and eventually transition into a lighter coloured ...

WHAT DO YOU LOVE ABOUT YOURSELF

Image
 There is no shortage of occasions where we hear our friends or even ourselves list countless things we don’t like about ourselves. It may be something as simple as looking through some pictures, looking in the mirror or listening to our voicemail that evoke these self loathing comments. Why is it so normal to quickly list the things we think are wrong with us but to highlight  our good qualities is so rare and often looked on as an unhealthy pride. As we move into a new year we encourage you to flip the script on those negative conversations. Look for the good qualities you possess both on the inside and outside. This requires some deep honest self reflection but the impact can be life changing. Speak these truths out loud and use them to replace those statements that begin with “ I hate/ don’t like my.....”   When you find those qualities that you like don’t be afraid to highlight them. If your shoulders are flattering wear that off the shoulder top. If you are a good l...
