Welcome to Pretty Over Fifty, a channel dedicated to Skin Care, Makeup & Style for the Over 50 Woman! If you enjoy looking and feeling your best, you're in the right place.
After traveling full time for two years, I came home to a face that looked like it had aged ten years! Too much fun in the sun and too little sunscreen. (OK, none) It was time to turn my focus to what really works for us mature ladies. I'll be trying, testing and reviewing the best products for us, so you don't have to!
Together let's do a deep dive into the BEST Skin Care, Makeup and Style for the over 50 Woman.
My husband died over a year ago and I hate living alone. I absolutely can't stand it. I miss having him say I love you, to give me a compliment I know he meant, the companionship, to have someone to talk to, to sound off ideas to, to share things with, to work side by side, etc, etc. You ladies that are happy being alone, that's great and I know everyone's situation is different. As for me, I'd rather have him with me to do the things that are talked about here. No fear here just lots of loneliness.
I agree. I take a lot of vitamins and work out. Recently I ve injured a hip from the gym and yoga move. Two days it felt gone so I did the same things over and it probably wasn't all healed. I injured again. This time it lasted a month.
My adult daughter and I are thinking about leaving Calif. if things get so bad here that we can no longer afford it. We are looking at North Carolina...it is so pretty! We may never leave Cali but it is fun to dream.
Thank you Kimberly, My beautiful husband has Alzheimer’s ( he age 69, me 58) and he has had significant changes however is We are fortunate enough to spend every moment together and we do have fun. Its a modified version of pre-alzhimers but we enjoy even though the conversations have nearly disappeared. And yes, a lot of work that I am humbled and honored to do. But you made me chuckle when you said being alone allows you to wear what you want - I laugh because even with my husband’s inability to articulate or converse anymore -he mainly just whistles or smile’s. But recen when I put on an a very expensive brand new gown to attend an out of town wedding -he sure found a way to express his dislike for the gown and shattered my thoughts of how lovely I must look 😆 Luckly I brought with me a backup gown that I could tell he thought was ok. So I wound up leaving the Sachini and Bachi gown along with hotel room tip behind on a hanger. Naturally I am giving my all to keeping my husband around but for a moment when you said that you can wear what you want-I chuckled and thought “ok good at least there is that’. I love both your channels and I benefit so much by listening while my hubby sleeps-your impact is so positive. Thank you
I have almost 10 years of being on my own.My husband died suddenly when I was 57.It certainly has been a challenge for sure but I have adapted. Looking after myself is imperative so that I don’t become a burden to my children.I like planning travel and home projects.Love making those executive decisions. lol. But for the life of me I can’t go to a restaurant by myself. Maybe someday. 👍 .
All I can focus on is #1which I have to do, so thanks on that. My husband has dementia & the darker side of his personality has taken over. So every day I have to walk on egg shells. So the idea of living alone sounds like heaven to me.
You look fantastic. I think your single Florida lifestyle agrees with you. I’ve watched your channel for several years and you look the best ever. Thank you for your weekly inspiration.
Great tips. I’ve been living alone for 5 years. It is a process. But it’s really ok. Safety was a concern in the beginning. I now work at the local police department and realize they do a great job and I am much safer than I thought. I do carry mace just in case. It’s an added layer of things that don’t feel comfortable. But I am cautious always. I too am not looking for a relationship. If it’s meant to be maybe. But I like it just the way it is. Thanks for the tips
I love the idea of starting a group for people 45 plus who are single and want to still live a full and exciting life. So many groups have a focus on romantic connection but I love the idea of like-minded people who want to form a community to be a support and do fun stuff. You have inspired me to start something like that locally. The emphasis is on positive fun-loving people who want to enjoy life and have fun experiences with others to connect and form a community.
I’m 65, worshipped the sun and grounded growing up and currently every day, never used sunscreen. I have a few brown spots, but I don’t believe they’re from the sun, another story! I started using RESTORE (now called ION) about 3-4 years ago. It took about a month, no more acid reflux or bloating as of today, fantastic product for me!
Kimberly I agree with everything you said. Been divorced longer than you and I’m also able to take care of most everything and of if I can’t I can just google it. Having friends to get together with occasionally is nice but most times I enjoy cooking and taking care of myself and home the most.
I love being alone. I have neglected my health a little while caring for my elderly parents. My health is my number one concern. Thanks for reminding me to care for myself!
Love this video, I’ve been widowed for almost 8 years now and I’m enjoying doing whatever I want to finally, in the beginning it wasn’t easy but I’m managing and it’s getting easier thank you for this info. Asking for help with stuff isn’t easy to do sometimes.
I just ordered Dreamland, Oasis and Reserve. I hope Oasis or Reserve doesn’t put me to sleep during the day. I wouldn’t do the gummies, they have sugar and maltodextrin in them. Thanks for the great review on the products. Can’t wait to try them
yes not only men can change oil =I always changed oil and in my poorer days used to crawl under the car and took a can after cutting it in half wired it around my muffler which was rusting out lol
US vs EU safety standards: we don't have the right to carry a gun, we can't buy it, we can't use teasers, etc etc... the female rape + murderer percentage has increased dramatically over the past years, perpetrated by boyfriends, husbands, fathers, etc and Government has finally taken a step to create laws accordingly. So different culture, different standard. Amen
Good Morning. U are my hero Kimberly. I love ur life too 😍. I admire/envy u because u have lived in so many different places. I wonder when u will decide to leave Florida and where u will go next. Have a wonderful week ahead. Lotsa Love. ❤🥰❤
Spend $20,000 on a handbag instead of $200 on a Spend $20,000 on a handbag instead of $200 on a H Q D U P S bag. Spending $20,000 on a handbag is worse than spending $200 on a replica #hqdups bag. Then invest the remaining $19,800. The obvious choice, since a $20,000 bag is unlikely to appreciate in value.
I've been married 46 years and through all the ups and downs we've always been there for each other. Some enjoy the solitude of living alone and there's nothing wrong with that...but for me having my life partner by my side has only enriched my life even more. I feel very blessed. And when that one day comes when one of us is ready to pass on, the other will be there to hold their hand, give them comfort and tell them how special they made their life...and be by their side until they take their last breath. 💞
Thanks Kimberly for this video! My husband passed very unexpectedly 3 years ago now. Since then RU-vid has been my main man - I have fixed my Dyson animal vac, my washer, and just the other day my garbage disposal jammed - found the fix on RU-vid and saved myself serious $$$ on a house call. You inspired me when I found myself suddenly alone - I figured if you could get rid of everything, pack up the dog and cat, and move across the country on your own, I needed to get my act together (so I did).
My husband died 11 years ago and I too am 67. I live in north central Fl and yes I'm enjoying life. I need to change my diet, but I'm working on that. Thank you for the wonderful video
I have been living alone since my divorce 22 years ago. I’m 62 now and honestly, cannot imagine living any other way! I love the freedom of being able to do everything from staying up late to sew with music on to having a martini with cheese and crackers for dinner if that’s what I feel like. The first weekend I was alone years ago, I called a girlfriend and told her I was giddy with content and it’s been that way ever since.
Thank you for the information. I have eliminated the seed oils also. I have been on a health journey for the past year with a functional medicine doctor. Also, could you please send a link for your top? I love it.
I have been in that situation before and I did love it. It is a sense of such freedom. My mom and boyfriend live with me now and they are such a blessing but if age is a factor I will be alone again one day and I’m not scared by that.
