Over 40 and Fabulous

September 27, 2020 · Lifestyle

Some perks come with age; when we are younger, I think we care a lot more about what others think about us. I am not going to pretend that I am young or in my thirties anymore; I am just going to enjoy the last year or so of my forties. There comes a point in our lives that we stop dressing for everyone else and what they think, and we start dressing for ourselves and what makes us feel good about ourselves. Just because we are getting older doesn’t mean we have to look older!

When I was younger, I can remember hearing about the “rules” that women were supposed to follow when they got older. Why is there a magic age that society has decided that women reach that they should no longer wear their hair long and need to cut it short? I am a firm believer in wearing something if it makes you feel good about yourself, if you still look good with long hair, wear it long! Frankly, I look awful in short hair, and I don’t think being older will help with that at all! Lol!

I love that women in their 40’s, 50’s, and beyond are also following fashion trends. When you are around long enough, you might even see trends come back around! I mean, aren’t “Mom” jeans a thing now? Wide leg pants, bell bottoms, jumpsuits, and rompers, all of these were in style when I was younger and have all come back around. I remember this plaid jumpsuit that I had that zipped up the front; it was my favorite!

There are a lot of “rules” society thinks women that are 40 and older should follow. Just to name a few: cut your hair short, don’t wear short skirts, don’t wear sleeveless tops, only wear one-piece bathing suits, and don’t wear leggings as pants. The list could go and on. I would like to think that everyone can live by the same “rules”: wear what you feel comfortable in, and you feel like you look good in. I also love the saying that my parents used to tell me, “if you wouldn’t do it or wear it in front of us, then you probably shouldn’t,” That should be the guiding light for everyone!

What is your opinion on what society has told women over 40 about fashion?

It's difficult sometimes when someone hurts us. We sometimes wonder why God "isn't doing anything" about the bad things in the world, or the bad people in our lives. 
But it isn't up to us. We only need to worry about ourselves. He sees it all, the good and the bad. And sometimes we only see a small part of what is really going on in someone's life. It is easy to make a judgment. It is difficult to ๐Ÿ‘‡
Give it to God ๐Ÿค

There are a lot of benefits to having a dog, besides unconditional love. ๐Ÿค Studies have shown that just petting a dog can:
โ€ข Lower your blood pressure
โ€ข Lower heart rate
โ€ข Slows breathing
โ€ข Relaxes muscle tension
I think Theo has been doing a good job of all of the above! I won't even get into what he does when I have a migraine. ๐Ÿคฏ Dogs are amazing. ๐Ÿค
Do you have a dog? Do you agree with what these studies have shown?

It took me a while to find some barstools that I liked. I didnโ€™t want your classic ones. I wanted a coastal feel to them. I also didnโ€™t want to spend an arm & a leg for them! Can you believe how expensive bar stools have gotten?! ๐Ÿซฃ
I am a bargain shopper and I finally found these at @target of all places! I have them linked over on my ๐‹๐“๐Š ๐ฉ๐š๐ ๐ž if you want to check them out. ๐Ÿ‘‡

Sometimes on our hardest days or toughest times in life we look back and realize it was the beginning of something good. ๐Ÿค

Our body is made up of about 50-70% water. So, staying hydrated is important! Experts recommend that you drink half your body weight in ounces. 
I was gifted this great water bottle to help me remember to drink my water from @venturepal_usa. It has such cute reminders on it to help keep you motivated throughout the day! They also come in different sizes and colors. 
How much water do you drink every day? I need to drink more so hopefully this will help! ๐Ÿค

The world around us can get stressful. We have become a society of being "honest" to the extent that it doesn't matter if it's true but it's that person's opinion. Opinions have become facts. I don't know about you, but a lot of this causes me anxiety. 
Do you struggle with anxiety? If not, you are lucky. But if you do all is not lost. The Bible talks about anxiety and worry. God doesnโ€™t want us to be anxious, He wants us to come to Him for help. Remember, you are never alone! 
Head over to ๐‡๐ž๐ฅ๐ฅ๐จ ๐’๐จ๐ฎ๐ญ๐ก ๐๐ฅ๐จ๐  to read our post, I'm Only Talking To Jesus Today! When I am worried and anxious, I often find myself going into this mode. 
We are sharing a few tools to help get you through those times. The link is in our profile! ๐Ÿ”—

This has been a rough week for a lot of us on many levels. What makes evil happy? Tearing each other apart, dividing, and breaking down. How do we overcome evil? With good. 
Be good. Be kind. Don't participate in the unkindness and negativity. And above all else, pray. ๐Ÿค
