I got the idea for this website from my girlfriends and my Mom.
My girlfriends are almost all getting married within the next two years. They've all found great guys and I'm very happy for them. However, one thing a soon-to-be bride mentioned in passing I just can't seem to forget: "I'm no spring chicken anymore."
I also talk to my Mom regularly on the phone. During one particular call last week, she was standing in front of the bathroom mirror, lamenting the new additional wrinkle she found next to her right eye, and the new strand of grey hair. I sensed a quiet sadness as she said, "I'm so old."
Women across the globe, from their early thirties to late sixties, are fretting their todays, and dreading their tomorrows when they will be undoubtedly be older than today. Well ladies, I say "NO! Enough of that!" We are not tech gadgets that start losing their value from the day they are created to the day they end up below a pile of dirt in the recycle pile. We are ever-changing muses that have learned from each day we've lived, and behind each line on our faces is a laughter, behind each grey hair is a life experience. Most importantly, ladies, all we have, is today. And today, and every day forth, we are going to be fabulous.
How do we be fabulous? Knowledge ladies, knowledge. We are all busy women with no free time to spare. But in the time it takes for a cup of coffee, we might be able to fit in just a little daily dab of fabulousness. Not too much, just a dab will do.
1. Beauty -- There's a new product of acids, peels, lotions popping up everyday. What's in it, what does it do, and does it work?
2. Fashion -- Our fashion sense has definitely developed from our awkward teen days, clothes should make us look sexy, but also classy. It's not about bearing as much skin as Adam and Eve, but choosing lines and pieces that accentuate what we have.
3. Health -- To coffee or not to coffee? To wine or now to wine? There's a new study out today contradicting the study that came out yesterday. Just what do they mean?
4. Fitness -- It's not just about being thin, it's also about being fit, being in tune with our bodies. We aren't going to look like we did at eighteen. No no, we are going to look and feel BETTER!
5. Financial Security -- We are successful; we've earned every penny. But we've got to keep what we've earned to give us the free time, the financial security to stay fabulous.
6. Her Secret -- Madonna, Diane Lane, Desperate Housewives, Demi Moore, the list goes on. How do these 30+ 40+ and 50+ women look so great? Let's find out.
Is 30 the new 20? Is 40 the new 30? Is 50 the new 40? Yes yes and yes. We are young and fabulous at any and every age.
So that is my goal, a little dab of fabulousness, for my girlfriends and my mother, and perhaps girlfriends and mothers everywhere. Because ladies, all we have is today. Let's live it up, with a daily dab of fab.
