Celebrating 60 & Me’s 10th Anniversary!

celebrating anniversary

Margaret Manning, this website’s founder, has noted recently that this is the 10th anniversary of Sixty and Me, but I don’t think enough fuss has been made of this wonderful fact.

We should be singing and celebrating loudly.

And congratulating her and the people behind the scenes who have kept us together for all these years.

And maybe feeding back a few thoughts in the process!

What Makes a Community?

By coincidence, I was thinking about the Sixty and Me community just one week ago.

I had been approached for an interview for a podcast to talk about my new book about how much I enjoy being old. We writers tend to welcome such opportunities, as it brings us to the attention of a new audience.

We did the interview and after the recording was finished, the podcaster (Deborah Voll) and I chatted. It turned out that she was also a writer for Sixty and Me! What a surprise. She had known this, it seems, but I didn’t. It immediately gave us something in common, like we were both part of something bigger.

Which we were.

And then I thought, Sixty and Me thinks of itself as a ‘community’, and I wondered how much readers had come to feel this to be the case.

Knowing People

I don’t know for certain what makes a community a community, but it must be something to do with feeling that you know and like the people involved.

This made me wonder how many of you have found friends through fellow readers of Sixty and Me. I see it sometimes in the comments, where two women find they have something unusual in common. There are discussions of contacting each other.

  • Have you made online friends with people via Sixty and Me?
  • Have you actually met these friends and continue to meet?
  • Or do you feel you are in a community of like-minded people even though you haven’t met each other?

I then wondered whether you felt you knew the writers on Sixty and Me. When I read a newspaper, there are particular columnists I read on a regular basis and others I read from time to time. But sometimes, I just read an article for its subject matter no matter who is writing.

  • Do you watch out for particular writers at Sixty and Me?

Common Interests

Being a community might also mean that there is a sense of communality between us, of shared experiences and interests.

We write about everything to do with life (makeup, travel, the joys of grandchildren and much, much more) and sometimes death (of our friends or thinking about our own).

We hope that these issues interest you, of course,

  • Do you feel that Sixty and Me is a special place to find discussions of issues that concern you?
  • If so, which topics do you keep an eagle eye out for?

Time

I suspect time helps to build a community. Time to feel part of something bigger than you. Ten years is a long time in our lives.

  • Have you belonged to Sixty and Me for a long time?
  • Does anyone go back a full 10 years?

And time brings changes. Some months ago, I wrote an article about turning 80 and was surprised to find others of that age responding.

  • How many of us 80-year-olds are out there?
  • Is there anyone in their 90s?

Comments, Likes, Shares

And finally, a community is a matter of sharing with others. The site is well set up for comments, likes and shares.

You may not know this, but we writers give our time freely, for the pleasure of thinking it might help someone out there.

And we LOVE it when you comment. It makes us feel that you are really reading. I am equally happy when someone says how much they agree with what I write or when they want to argue. It’s always interesting to hear what you have to say.

  • Do you contribute your own thoughts with a comment or like or share when you are taken by a particular idea?

The Future

If you are minded to answer any or all my questions, I would be happy to write an article pulling together your responses. It would be exceedingly interesting, but I need your input in order to do so.

Sixty and Me would certainly love to hear from you.

So, do you feel 60 & Me is your community? For how long have you belonged to it? Do you follow particular writers, or do you go by topics of interest? What else would you like to share?

Benefit’s New Brow Pencil Somehow Volumizes While It Fills So Of Course I Had to Try It


If you purchase an independently reviewed product or service through a link on our website, STYLECASTER may receive an affiliate commission.

Ever since I started getting my eyebrows laminated on the regular, I stopped liking how typical eyebrow pencils filled in my sparse areas. I want fluffy — not harsh — brows. But then Benefit came along and changed the game with Gimme Brow+ Volumizing Fiber Eyebrow Pencil. Unlike the pencils I was putting on the sidelines, this one promises a combination of fibers and powder to build depth, dimension, and lightweight volume. Powder in a pencil?!

There are 12 shades to choose from taking into account undertones. Redheads will be happy to see a Warm Auburn hue and there’s even a Cool Grey. As opposed to Benefit’s other pencils, this one is a real, legit pencil that needs sharpening, instead of a retractable one. On the opposite end of the pencil is a spoolie to blend the formula as needed.

Speaking of formula, it contains silk cotton tree fibers to volumize, fill and define, and blended powder particles to create natural-looking depth and fullness.

I don’t know what I was expecting but I’ve never seen a pencil give off such a powdery finish. To compare it to other Benefit faves, Precisely My Brow, Pencil ($25 at Sephora) gives that ultra-fine definition, while Goof Proof Brow Pencil ($25 at Sephora) has a thicker tip for fast filling and shading. Gimme Brow+ Volumizing Fiber Eyebrow Pencil just looks like a typical pencil.

Now, my brows can get seriously hairy but there are still sparse areas. I’m currently in between brow lamination so the hair is totally ungroomed.

With very little effort, I filled in the empty areas and the powder formula actually did make my brows look fuller. It’s pretty crazy that a brow pencil can do that.

If you like full, fluffy brows as I do, you’re going to love Gimme Brow+ Volumizing Fiber Eyebrow Pencil. If you prefer a more defined brow with more dramatic edges, you’ll probably favor Precisely My Brow, Pencil ($25 at Sephora). This is also true if you have very few brow hairs. You’ll need a more defined edge to draw them on.

But for me? I’m skipping the pomade and the micro-brow pencils in favor of this OG style. I added a little of my favorite brow gel to give shape and I officially have a new duo. Just be sure you keep a decent sharpener around.
