Have you ever wondered why women over 50 are feeling invisible in today's society? Despite the wisdom, experience, and knowledge they possess, they often find themselves yearning to be recognized and taken seriously. Its a familiar conversation and story I hear from women who reach out to me inquiring about the work I do. Sad but true! On Sunday evening, I happened to watch the thought-provoking 60 minute report titled 'Grey is the New Black'. It shed light on how women over 50 are bravely stepping away from cosmeceutical procedures and embracing their natural aging process. Instead of trying to preserve their youthful appearance, they are demanding acceptance for who they are, wrinkles and all. In my work, I know and see that beauty comes in all ages and stages of life and its not fair that women cop the brunt of the ageing process with loss of opportunities, failed relationships and general respect for what they have to offer. As a society, we can place a greater emphasis on celebrating the remarkable contributions of women over 50, rather than focusing solely on their physical appearance. However, acceptance doesn't mean we can't or shouldn't enhance our appearance or make the most out of our attributes. Image consulting services is a fantastic avenue for women over 50 to explore. In fact, I would say that 95% of my clients are this age and being a woman who myself falls into this category, I am very passionate about this cause. By following a simple process, working with a Certified Image Professional gives women permission to embrace their inherent beauty, gain control and maintain confidence at a time when they can feel extremely vulnerable. I provide guidance on personal style, colouring, wardrobe coordination, makeup, and accessorizing to enhance their unique features, empowering them and preparing them to conquer any challenge. The experiences women over 50 have are invaluable, now and to our generations to come, they deserve to be noticed, heard, and most of all respected and appreciated. #WomenOver50 #EmbracingAgingGracefully #professionalwomen #RecognizeWisdomAndExperience

This International Women's Day, I want to invite you to think about this very important question: What makes your heart sing? As women, our to do lists are often so long that we completely lose sight of what matters most. We try to get it all done, regardless of the personal costs. And through social media, we see just how beautifully designed our homes can be, just our perfectly matched our outfits can be, just how appetizing dinner can seem, just how toned our arms should look and the list goes on. Suddenly, we wonder if what we thought was good enough has become inadequate. Can you relate? So I want to encourage us today. Our value doesn't come from how we look, what we have, or how much we produce. Our value comes from expressing what's in our hearts. So let me ask again: what makes your heart sing? Whatever it is, I encourage you to drop a few other things, and do that. #purposedrivenlife #agingwell #internationalwomensday2024

March 8, 2024 Today is the day conventionally dedicated to celebrating women. The lines of demarcation, boundaries, divisions, or categories are concepts often internalized, emphasizing differences over the points that unite us. Differences can lead to conflict, separation, and fragmentation, evoking emotions with a negative connotation such as anger and sadness. Individuals feel accepted and more confident in their being when they express themselves by differentiating from others, especially if the "other" is negatively connotated by the group they belong to. To avoid making March 8 solely about women as being different from the rest, with a risk of negative connotation, I propose focusing on the intersection of what women share with all beings, including: - Birth, as a mode of arrival - Death, as the conclusion of a journey - Vital needs such as air, water, and nutrients - The search for meaning and a favorable dimension for being - The pleasure in sharing moments and emotions and the necessity of solitude - The dedication to what one loves and the boredom for tasks that do not interest one - The other as a mirror of oneself and uniqueness to be known Many more can find space in the comments and personal reflections of all thinking beings who stumble here. This reflection aims to feel part of the whole and to recognize one's peculiarities. It proposes to celebrate women as similar and different from the other, like every other being in the universe. For example: a tulip is similar to and different from a daisy, and both are flowers. #InternationalWomensDay #UnityInDiversity #CelebrateDifferences #CelebrateCommonalities #Empowerment #Reflections #Unity #Diversity #LifeJourney

In a culture that is frequently fixated on rigid notions of beauty, it is imperative to enable women of all sizes and shapes to bravely and confidently accept their bodies. Particularly plus-size women deal with distinct difficulties and prejudices, but they are shattering barriers and taking back the narrative in a way never seen before. In this article, we will explore plus-size beauty and new trends that are now favoring the plus-size community. https://lnkd.in/ek7PNuwr

MEN BREAKING STEREOTYPES: REDEFINING WOMEN’S BEAUTY AND STRENGTH. In pursuing a more inclusive and equitable world, we must acknowledge men's vital role in breaking stereotypes and redefining beauty and strength. Conventional notions about these values frequently confine both men and women to narrow definitions, limiting the opportunity for genuine self-expression and personal growth. Men, as supporters, can dismantle societal norms and change perceptions. By engaging in conversations that challenge presumed beauty standards, they actively contribute to a more diverse and accepting society. It's not just about encouraging women; it's about breaking down assumptions that hold everyone to unattainable standards. True empowerment entails appreciating the diversity women bring to the table. Beauty is more than just superficial standards; it is found in qualities like resilience, intelligence, and compassion. Strength is not only about physical power; it also includes the courage to resist expectations. Let's honour the MEN and WOMEN who challenge stereotypes and reinvent what it means to be both graceful and powerful. By redefining these concepts, we can create a more inclusive and empowered future. It's time to recognise each woman's uniqueness as her true definition of femininity and toughness.   #internationalwomensday #internationalwomensday2024 #menliftingwomen #menempoweringwomen #breakingstereotypes #redefiningbeauty #fbf #redefiningbeautyandstrength #womanempowerment #strengthindiversity #inclusiveculture #happywomensday

Three traits of a bold and beautiful women. 1. Diversity: Women's beauty is incredibly diverse, encompassing a wide range of physical attributes, cultural backgrounds, and personal expressions. Embrace all 💞 2. Confidence: True beauty often radiates from within, fueled by confidence, self-love, and acceptance. When women feel confident and comfortable in their own skin, it enhances their attractiveness and presence, transcending conventional standards of beauty.🦋 3. Empowerment: Embracing and celebrating women's beauty can be an empowering act, challenging societal norms and promoting self-expression. Recognising beauty beyond superficial appearances encourages women to embrace their authentic selves. #womenempowerment #bosslady # working women #powerfulwomen
