Hi everyone,
From the beauty industry making major discoveries in anti-aging treatments to medical advances that have steadily increased life expectancy, women are defying stereotypes and remaining active as they enter their 50s, 60s, and 70s. However, this poses a new question: How does one stay relevant and keep up with the ever-changing world around them as they age?
I have been researching how to stay young and beautiful as I am aging since the birth of the twins (5 years ago). At first, I was focusing on how not to age – lol- crazy right? Then I quickly realized that aging is undeniably happening and it is part of life but I can age as a “fine wine” as they say if I am willing to do the work. I know I am only 38, but I was able to come up with a list of 3-ish key things that can help you look young, stay young, and be current.
Stay fit
Have you ever wondered how the stunning Nicole Murphy manages to look so young even though she’s already hit the big 50? It’s simple: she hits the gym regularly to maintain her stunning physique and rock-hard abs. Even if your goals don’t include having a Hollywood body, working out is essential to maintaining your body and staying healthy regardless of your age. Ruth Bader Ginsburg worked out well into her 80s, and her trainer was kind enough to document the workout routine that kept her going strong. It is important to set age-appropriate goals and look after your body to stay feeling young.
Go Out
Sometimes as you get older, going out starts feeling like a chore. However, it is important to leave the house once in a while. Get a group of friends together and plan a nice dinner or catch a movie or live show. Not only will going out make you feel good, but it is also the best way to be in the know. It’s much easier to know which restaurants are trendy and what the latest movies are when you’re actually going out and partaking in these activities.
Dress to Impress
The fashion industry is shifting how they view older women. With age comes sophistication so no matter what you would like to wear – don’t limit yourself- do it. But, with elegance. Once you hit 30, it’s important to know and master the power of a great outfit to command a room. The goal is to be bold yet comfortable, the way only someone with the wisdom of age can be!
Challenge yourself
Challenge yourself! Let me repeat that again! Whether it is by learning new things or just keeping up with the latest evolvement of your initial discipline. Or by engaging with the latest Technology and social media (Tiktok, Instagram, IG). Or doing something daring. Anything works. The bottom line, stay in the know and have an opinion.
So what are your secrets to staying young and current? Comment below and don’t be selfish. In the meantime, I hope you enjoyed today’s reading.
Thanks for stopping by,
