While part of the fun of shopping for candles is going into the store and smelling them all, this year has been next to impossible in that front. Even if you are in-store shopping, it’s pretty hard to get a good sniff while wearing a mask. Luckily, not only are some of the best Bath & Body Works candles online, but they’re online exclusives so you have a great reason to shop from your couch. And there are enough details of each fragrance online, so you can get a good idea of what you know you’ll love.

You might have not known about these online exclusives. They’re not super easy to find on the Bath & Body Works website. They are too good to pass up, though. Some candles even feature our favorite scents, such as Pistachio Ice Cream and Coconut Sandalwood. There’s Bowties & Bourbon marketed for men but has a great musky smell for any gender. These are getting so popular, we have intel that four online exclusives are launching in May and they smell incredible.

As I begin to write, I have just lifted my eyes from the inspiring kind of fashion magazine that has gorgeous leggy young women in good lighting, with expert makeup and wearing fabulous clothes with mortgage repayment price tags. Inspiring? I’ll get back to you on that.

Obviously, I don’t look like them now. They look the way I did in the early 70s when wearing a treasured dress from the huge Aladdin’s caves that were Biba in High Street Kensington in London. I remember myself sipping tea there in the Rainbow Room Restaurant.

I still love the playfulness of fashion and photography though, and with a bit of discernment, can still look PDG, short for Pretty Damn Good. This is an acronym I suggest that you regularly say to yourself in the mirror, wearing a cheeky smile on your face.

Here are some quick tips for looking and feeling good in your 60s. Please note that the first two are essential for the digital age.

Look Up When Taking Selfies

To avoid looking 10 years older when using video, lift your phone up so that the camera is looking down towards you rather than up at the folds in your neck!

Video Call Wisely

Put your laptop on a box or a stack of books when on Skype/Zoom. This makes all the difference in getting the focus on your beautiful eyes!

Know What Colours Suit You

My advice is to get your colours done or redone. I had mine done in my 30s in sunny New Zealand. I was classed as a spring, suiting all the warm bright colours. Whether the specialist was wrong, and I got away with those colours for years with a tan, or whether my colouring changed I don’t know.

When I met a colour consultant in an Edinburgh store 25 years later, minus the tan of course, she disagreed. She declared me a summer on the spot, suiting the cooler summer shades.

Revolution! Suddenly I could get my lipstick right and feel in harmony with my clothes rather than trying to keep up with them.

Get Your Lipstick Shade Right

Lipstick is a serious thing. Getting the colour right for the time of day and year seems to bring out the best in my face and outfits. For me, that’s usually a bright and/or deep colour. At least I think so looking in the mirror, and people seem to like me enough to often tell me I look good.

Use Natural Products

I suggest that you make a lifestyle upgrade to natural products, inside and out.

Think about it, the skin is a hugely important organ for protection and detoxing. Why ignore this fact and use creams and cosmetics made of petrochemicals, including artificial colours and perfumes that may be poorly tested and don’t exist in the natural environments in which we have evolved?

More and more natural ranges keep appearing on the market. They smell and feel great and there are plenty of good colours out there.

Switch to choosing meals and ingredients without chemical additives. Go for those made with simple whole food ingredients – this might be the best thing you can do towards looking good. It’s right up there with exercise and falling in love, and no doubt improves progress with both of those!

Upgrade to Organics

Even better is, as much as possible, to upgrade to organics. Many studies show organics as more nutritious and, of course, you avoid taking in toxins that require detoxing!

Make green veggies, especially in delicious salads, your every day staples. They help you to stay in a healthy alkaline balance, which makes you feel good and energetic, with roses in your cheeks. And that’s how you look good after 60!

Looking PDG at 60!

Why do I find good fashion magazines inspiring? For ideas, for food for the imagination.

“Ah, I can wear a blue striped shirt with my khaki trousers. Ah, I’ve got a skirt a bit like that and my pink jumper would go with it. Ok, wear that frock (oops, that’s a word that could date me!) with my pewter lace ups.” I am happy to be my age and still look PDG.

Do you think you look pretty da** good in your 60s? What are your favorite clothes, colors and lifestyle changes that help you feel and look good? Please share them in the comments below.

Although a leopard isn’t an animal you’d typically spot on a ranch, we spot Kameron Westcott wearing it’s print at Southfork on this week’s episode of RHOD with her leopard print pajamas. Which you’ll be happy to learn according to our findings still appear to be very much in livestock.

I have a giant garbage art cat sculpture hanging on the side of my house, and I’m loving it. At sunset, the cat lights up and you can see it from way down the road. When you get closer, it mysteriously disappears. This is due to the wall around my house, but don’t tell anyone.

“I’m sure I saw a giant cat glowing in the dark near your place, but then it disappeared,” people tell me. I laugh and shrug my shoulders as if I have no idea what they are talking about. I like to keep the mystery going.

Picking Up Beach Garbage Was the Start

About a year ago I started picking up the garbage on my daily beach walks. I’m 67, retired from a career in technology and live on a small island in southern Thailand. In the spring, the winds change direction and blow inwards from the Andaman Sea.

These monsoon winds are super strong and bring garbage with them. The volume of debris that washes up with the tide is astounding. It continues to pile up on our beaches until the winds reverse direction in the fall.

It feels good doing my tiny thing for the environment.

When I Got Inspired

About this time, I saw a seahorse sculpture hanging at a local beach bar. It was made with lighters, glowing from a string of lights inside it. Immediately, and I mean right that second, I knew I absolutely had to make a giant cat.

I found the artist and asked about his process. He laughed and said that it wasn’t rocket science. He advised me to use a clear glue and remove the tops from the lighters. He also told me that it was trial and error, saying that I would figure it out as I went along.

I Started Collecting Lighters

The next day, I stopped picking up all the garbage and focused on collecting only lighters. A group on Koh Lanta had recently started cleaning up the beaches, rotating to a different beach each week. This meant I could focus solely on collecting the lighters and not feel guilty about walking by the other garbage as this new group would be collecting it.

Since picking up garbage is back-breaking work, I got myself a grabber. I still have to bend a bit, but this little gadget changed it all. It has given me the precision to easily grab the lighters, even when they are hidden under other debris.

Every afternoon I’d go for my beach walk, bringing my trusty grabber and empty bags. I sometimes go to a different beach to mix up my walks. The lighter supply is endless whatever beach I go to.

Preparing the Lighters

The lighters can’t be used right away. They have to be cleaned and taken apart. I set up three cleaning stations in my garden: cleaning, bleaching, and rinsing. I wanted to remove the grime and germs as some of the lighters looked like they had been in the ocean for decades. I didn’t want to get sick from them.

Once the lighters were cleared, I removed the tops. I also pulled out the long white thing inside every lighter. I used heavy duty pliers as the tops are fastened on tight. Sure, my right hand was super sore those days, but it got stronger after a few weeks.

I must have done this whole process on about 8,000 lighters the past year. Crazy!

Building my Masterpiece

While I was collecting, washing and taking apart the lighters, I started to sketch my massive cat using a cat design I’ve been drawing since I was a kid. I drew it on a huge piece of corrugated plastic as the base. I then started to build the sculpture by gluing lighters to the sketch perimeter and then upwards in layers. I wanted to have lighters in elevated mounds to shape the legs, the body and the tail.

The build took about four months. I worked on it at least few hours every day. I had to be strategic with how I placed the lighters as the glue dried really quickly. Some days I was stumped and other days I was on a roll. I made lots of mistakes and slowly figured it all out.

I even used colour in some sections, so I had to make sure I had enough lighters in the right colour. This wasn’t easy. I couldn’t go to the beach and ask for only blue or yellow lighters. I learned patience and perseverance.

The sculpture was so big it took up the whole living room. I moved it inside to keep it safe from the rains and critters roaming at night here on the island. I definitely didn’t want a frog hiding inside the tail or a gecko getting glued to a lighter.

I was having a blast! 

Lighting the Cat and Hanging It on the Wall

When I was almost finished building my giant cat, I asked an electrician friend to help light it up. He put together a super plan and got at it. First, he made a frame backing for the cat, and then built a base for the lights. This base can be unscrewed from the frame for any light repairs and cleaning.

Friends helped with gluing the cat to the frame and then lifting it onto the base. It took two strong men to hoist the giant 6-foot cat up as it’s super heavy. It now hangs on big brackets screwed into the wall.

It looks amazing during the day and especially at night when it’s lit up. I totally love my giant cat and will hate to part with it. But that is the plan, once Covid-19 is behind us.

The Future of My Giant Cat

Originally, I was going to donate my giant cat to Lanta Animal Welfare, the animal rescue centre charity I support here on Koh Lanta. However, the cat is really a night thing, so I need to rethink my strategy. Maybe I’ll look for a corporate donor. The giant cat will look amazing hanging in a night club, in a bar/restaurant, or in a building lobby.

Wherever my giant cat ends up, the new owners will have a gem, absolutely! But until this pandemic is in our history, it will remain on my wall, lighting up every evening.

When I started picking up the garbage on the beach I had no idea, especially at my age, that it would turn into so much fun. The other great benefit is that this whole experience helped me get through the past year of Covid-19 lockdowns and restrictions.

It’s all good!
