Jill's New Life

We Shave Where Now????

Personal hygiene and self care have reached a new level of intensity in the last decade.  I had never heard of a woman shaving her pubic hair, much less having wax slabbed on her pubic region and ripped off.  I first became aware of this practice when my daughters informed me that it was “gross” to not participate in this new ritual.   At first blush, I was appalled and shocked to know that my children were actively shaving their pubic hair in the shower. After I recovered from the shock of this new information.  Having been informed that “everyone” does it.  I called my cousin, who is always ahead of me,  in all things hip and new.  She’s my age and I fully expected her to be as upset and as shocked as I was.  After spewing out my story I waited, legs crossed sitting on the edge of my bed. There was silence on the other end of the phone, then she said…you don’t groom yourself down there?  I was horrified!!  What????? Am I supposed to be????? Well… she said… it is kinda gross not to.  Are you kidding me??? The shame started to set in.  How was it

Dating Storytime!

I should have known when he asked me out on a date to Senior Discount Day at The Golden Corral. I had seen this guy before and he wanted to take me out for an early dinner.  You know when they want to eat early, it has something to do with a discount.  I agreed and immediately regretted it.  I pulled into the parking lot of the Golden Corral for really maybe the second time in my life. I remembered bringing my kids here when they were little.  I never returned.  Until today!   He had texted that he was waiting inside.  I moved my way through the throngs of Seniors in the dining room.  This really did resemble the old folks homes I had visited with my church group at Christmas time.  But, there was a lot of food and everyone seemed cheery enough, so I forged on.  I spotted him in a booth in the back.  He rose to his feet upon seeing me.  We exchanged niceties and I put my purse down and took a seat. He ordered drinks and then he showed me the way to the buffet.  He seemed to know the lay of the land,

Glow Up!

Ladies!  I love the phrase Glow Up!  It refers to a significant transformation in your physical appearance.  The process of turning yourself into a better version of yourself, becoming more confident, attractive and successful.I think we can apply this to any area of our lives!  I turned 60 this year!  The reality hit that most of my life is behind me. I mean, I never thought I would be 60!!!! We never think we will be the age of our Mothers and Grandmothers.  Yet, here I am.   I’ve noticed the changes in my face and body especially in the last few years.  I feel like in my 50’s I still didn’t look too bad.  My skin and natural beauty was still there.  But, in the last few years I’ve really seen the changes that age brings. The image in the mirror is different.  Still me,but the age is showing.   I’ve always loved skincare and makeup.  I feel better when I’m put together, my makeup done, hair fixed, perfume on.  You know. However, as I grow older my self care routine isn’t working anymore.  My skin has different needs. The way I wear my makeup doesn’t  look as good.  So, time
