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 to Glow Up!  I’m in the process of finding new skincare and makeup.  I’m now starting a body care routine!

Yes, you read that right.  I see these young girls on TikTok with their exfoliating creams and oils. I’ve decided to take a lesson from these younger girls.  

This isn’t just about looking better for me.  This is a total Glow Up of my life.  Life hasn’t turned out the way I thought it would.  I’ve been through more in the last 15 years than I ever thought possible.  I let go of caring for myself. I was in survival mode. 

I would say I lost myself through it all.  Now, it’s my time to return to myself.  I’m starting this blog to share my life and what I’ve learned.  Also, to share the journey back to me.  Maybe I can inspire you to start your journey too.
