Why Lifestyle Fifty when You’re Over 60?
I believe that women of all ages should try and live a healthy lifestyle, and also go out of their comfort zone every now and then to adventure, and also to make simple lifestyle changes to keep well.
You see, old age as a concept for us older adults (now over 50 and 60 and 70) just doesn’t exist! We intend our present days and our later years to be full and fabulous.

We want good health, fun adventures, and we want to look great. We don’t quake at being a fashion icon like Iris Apfel if we feel the urge to dress up or dress unconventionally.
We admire stylish women like Susan Sarandon and Helen Mirren, who always inspire with their dress sense. We want a classy look sometimes, but at others, maybe a fun, frothy look.
We look up to inspirational women who guide us to be better people, such as, Michelle Obama and Queen Elizabeth II.
We’re onto keeping fit and know that regular exercise and aerobic activity are good for us, especially our heart health.

We know that strength training tones up our muscles particularly those on our upper arms, and we’re not afraid to show off our arms, or knees for that matter!
There are always new challenges that come with older age, but the best thing is that we keep on keeping on.
We don’t believe that short haircuts or short hairstyles are the inevitable domain for older people, but we know that a good haircut and an interesting hairstyle can enhance the way we feel.

We don’t say no to shorter skirts and activewear. In fact activewear is part of our lifestyle because it means we are more likely to get out and get active rather than sit in front of the TV!

We no longer believe that Vitamin D only comes from spending long amounts of time in the sun, and then lathering up with baby oil to get a tan.
We are aware of our best features, and not afraid to go gray or show off our new white hair or natural gray hair color.
Read out survey in which 79 respondents talk about going grey.
We will try new things, and we don’t mourn our younger years.
We understand that wrinkles and fine lines are a sign of normal aging but agree that the best way to combat dry skin is with good skin care and great moisturisers.
