Just when we thought‚ that Dyson couldn’t do any better than its iconic hair tools, the brand proved us wrong. Today, they launched a dreamy new color combo of its hair dryer, straightener, and curling iron, and we’re ready to buy each of them.

The Prussian Blue and Copper tools are everything you could possible want in a hair appliance. They’re good looking enough to display on top of your bathroom sink or front-and-center in you cabinets, plus they work like an absolute charm.

If you aren’t familiar with Dyson’s hair products, here’s a quick synopsis of them all: They’re known for being the best around. Period. Practically every celebrity hair stylist uses them, and for good reason. The hot tools use the power of heated airflow to style and dry your hair all at once—and with less damage. Because they use such advanced technology, I’m going to give it to you straight. They’re pricey AF. But, the majority of these tools have multiple uses. For example, its Airwrap curling tool comes with a whopping six attachments and its Supersonic hair dryer now has a smoothing device that can prevent stubborn flyaways and frizz from occurring.

Basically, they give you salon-quality hair without having to make a trip out to the salon, and without having to exert a ton of effort yourself throughout the styling process. Below, shop the newest Dyson hair tools collection before it sells out (and we’re sure it will). They’re the perfect early holiday gifts for you from you.

Dyson Corrale Straightener

Welcome to 2021. In this fine year, we don’t need cords. They’re useless and tacky and suck to untangle. With this straightener, you can avoid all of the annoyance and give your locks a well-deserved break. It flattens and straightens by contouring to your hair’s shape to gently smooth everything out. This way, you’ll use less heat and get less breakage.

Dyson Supersonic Hair Dryer

You know how it’s so hard to achieve bouncy and light hair when you use a hair dryer on yourself at home? This hair dryer basically ensures that you get beautiful locks every time it’s used. And, by buying one of these dryers, you also get a flyaway, styling, diffuser, comb, and gentle air attachment. Each of these helps you achieve a number of looks, from curly to pin-straight.

Dyson Airwrap Styler

This is your sign to stop spending money at those blow-out places and invest it in the device that will give you equally as beautiful curls with just as little effort on your end. The Airwrap styler does all of the heavy-lifting for you. It literally wraps your hair around itself (in a v gentle way) to create the ideal blowout look. A warning: If you buy this, you’re going to get an absurd amount of inquiries about where you got your hair blown out. You’ll get so many of these questions that you might begin to think you’re a professional stylist yourself. Go on and live that alter ego.

I’m turning 65 in a few weeks, and I’m thinking about another milestone birthday that marked the beginning of a new life for me. Turning 50 was the catalyst for launching an international lifestyle that I’m still enjoying today and plan to keep on enjoying into my 70s and beyond.

The Beginning of the End

A woman’s 50th birthday was once commonly seen as the beginning of the end. From that point on, women could expect a life of blue rinse invisibility and service to their multi-generational families.

These days, though, with scientists making the case for 60 as the new middle age, we’re celebrating milestones that were formerly viewed as tombstones. We’re seeing that renewal, empowerment and maybe even a sprinkling of life-changing magic are possible at any age.

I turned 50 in the fall of 2006. In the year or so leading up to it, I found myself thinking a lot about what I wanted my life to look like in Act Three. For me, the worst case end of life sentiment would be regret.

Making Plans for the Next Stage

I was already experiencing the G-force sensation of passing time, and I felt the need to take stock of my dreams and make some plans.

One of my best friends was also turning 50 that year, so we got a group of women together for a trip to Italy and rented a villa in Tuscany. I know. Cliché, right? We kept running into other groups of women celebrating someone’s 50th. The conversation flowed almost as freely as the red wine and limoncello. The prevailing question was “what’s next?”

I started planning the “what’s next?” pretty quickly after my return from Italy. I was single, childless by choice, and ready for a big adventure. Top of my dream list was living and working abroad. 

I’m a teacher by profession, but my professional path also included intensive years in a non-profit organization, and I wondered how I could use my skills and experience to build the new life I was longing for.

The Journey Begins

Some research led me to teaching opportunities in the Canadian High Arctic. Not quite abroad, as I’m Canadian, but I’d dreamed of the far north since devouring Jack London’s Call of The Wild as a child. It just felt like the right place to start. Still within the safety net of my own country, but exotic and otherworldly enough to fulfil my dreams. 

I spent the next four years living and working in remote fly-in communities. The challenges and exhilaration of life above the Arctic Circle brought out the best in me and propelled me to new levels of self-reliance, resilience and innovation.

I once repaired a photocopier in my school with telephone help from a technician 3,500 kilometers away and then solved internet problems and started to think of myself as a tech savvy person. The mindset I developed during this time led me to a multimedia journalism program a few years later. 

The Exotic “Home” Was Not Enough

But I wanted to pursue my dream of living abroad. My first overseas posting was China, followed by Malaysia, Oman, Angola, Malawi and now I’m in Sudan. Each place presented challenges and gifts in equal measure and often the challenges turned out to be gifts in disguise.

I learned to dig deep and find out what part of my former Canadian life I needed to continue to take with me. After my first year in China, I returned to Canada, packed up my house and listed it for sale. I took a few treasured items and gave away the rest.

Over the past few years, I’ve been learning to gauge the value of my possessions by the going airline rate for excess baggage. The stuff just started falling away and I didn’t miss it.

Resilience and Self-Reliance

With each relocation to another country, I felt stronger and more capable of adjusting to current realities and circumstances. On my 60^th birthday, I made the decision to set up a retirement life in Chiang Mai, Thailand.

I bought a condo, renovated and furnished it and went through the process of getting a retirement visa. I’m not sure when I’ll retire from teaching and live there year-round, but it was a convenient bolt hole when Covid hit, and it’s a lovely home base while I’m still working abroad.

The Beauty of the Freedom to Explore the World

This year, on the day before my birthday, I’ll fly from my current home in Khartoum, Sudan to Cairo, Egypt for a holiday. I’ll explore and marvel with gratitude and make plans for the next few years.

I hope you’ll continue to follow my monthly posts at Sixty and Me. I’ll be sharing my experiences as well as practical tips and advice about how you can adopt an international lifestyle. I’m looking forward to hearing from you in the comments section and starting a discussion about making major lifestyle changes after 60.

Have you ever thought about working and/or retiring abroad? These days there are so many options for working abroad after 60. The pandemic has firmly cemented the place of remote work and teaching abroad remains a favorite post-retirement option for many people in their 60s and beyond. Let’s talk about possibilities!

It’s hard to predict what beauty products are going to go viral on TikTok. Some are brand new and buzzy (think: Fenty Gloss Bomb Heat) and others have been around for decades, like Clinique Black Honey. The newest viral product is a bit of a surprise but a really great, affordable one. My FYP is blowing up with folks trying CoverGirl Skin Milk Foundation and loving it. And it’s currently on sale for around $7!

Let’s back up a little. We told you back in December 2019 that CoverGirl was going totally vegan with a new clean formula. This included the Clean Fresh Skin Milk Foundation, a dewy, skin-like formula made with coconut milk, aloe extracts and hyaluronic acid. There are 14 flexible shades for a skin-like finish. Reviews were mixed but it seemed like a great option for those with dryer skin types. I especially like the way it evens my skin tone but feels incredibly lightweight.

Well, thanks to TikToker @briannachickenfry, the foundation has a LOT of new fans. And it’s the perfect timing. It’s on sale from $11.99 to $7.19.

When Brianna was posting makeup routines to TikTok, followers noticed she wasn’t giving the details on her foundation. Well, it turns out, she was doing a little bit of gatekeeping — which I can totally understand. “It has taken me seven years to find a foundation that I like,” she says. “There was a point in time where I was spending like $90 on one bottle of foundation because I thought higher-end brands were going to be better but that’s just not true.”

She’s very nervous TikTok is going to sell it out so she gives us the details reluctantly. That’s when @meganlavallie stitches her video trying the formula out for herself. She calls it “incredible” and says it’s better than her current favorite. Then, there’s everyone’s BFF @mikaylanogueira, who knew he just had to try it. Mikayla does not like the smell, which many people complain about, and is nervous at first about how dewy the finish is. But at the end — WOW.

“This makes me look so young and youthful,” she says. “My skin looks so fucking healthy.” In the cutest moment, she shares that she feels “so fucking pretty” and that she “doesn’t feel pretty that often.” (She’s beautiful, of course.)

These reviews prove that makeup is so personal. All three of these women have normal to dry skin types. Those with oily skin who like more of a matte coverage will not love this foundation the same way. But those of us on the dry side, with a little bit of texture and some redness, definitely just found a new favorite. And at less this price, it’s easy to stock up. As long as you can get your hands on it!
