Hailey Bieber has become the face of glazed donut skin because she always has the dewiest complexion. It’s often left us wondering how she gets her skin so glowy without looking super oily. And now, thanks to one of the model’s GRWM TikToks, we have the answer: Kosas’ Cloud Set Setting Powder.

The supermodel-approved formula minimizes the appearance of pores, fine lines and uneven texture. It provides “shine control, not glow control,” according to the brand, which is how you know it’s the perfect powder to use for glazed donut skin.

“This is just really for any of the areas I feel like I get a little oily, which is mostly the T-zone area,” Hailey explains in the TikTok.

The setting powder is up to 25 percent off during Kosas’ early Black Friday sale, which gives you 25 percent off of your order of $100 or more, 20 percent off of your order of $50 or more and 15 percent off of your under-$50 order. Basically, the more you shop, the more you save, so start by adding this powder that’s as low as $26 to your cart.

Plenty of shoppers agree with Hailey. “Takes out shine and minimizes pores instantly. Makes skin look airbrushed!” raved one five-star reviewer.

Not only does the sheer setting and smoothing powder help manage oil production and smooth over texture, it’s packed with nourishing ingredients that hydrate the skin and clear out congestion—sans caking and creasing. 

After application, you’ll notice your skin doesn’t feel chalky or dry. That’s because passion fruit extract hydrates and minimizes the appearance of fine lines. Meanwhile, bamboo stem extract controls oil production and Chinese peony diminishes large pores.

What Are You Yearning for in Life After Retirement?

Life After Retirement

In a previous article I addressed three things about retirement that can take us by surprise. The next topic worth examining, as you consider your life during retirement, is a simple question that’s loaded with possibility: What are you yearning for?

Let’s dive into a helpful discussion in this second part of a three-part series about living a happy retired life. I hope you’ll get some food for thought for living your happy life at 60 and beyond, retired or not.

What Makes You Happy?

Life is ever evolving and oftentimes moves at lightning speed, compared to the pace previous generations experienced. Similarly, the things that make us happy can change with different seasons of life.

Baby Boomers are tackling these changes while re-defining retirement. Above all, we’re taking a close look at what will make us happy during that life stage.

But our quest begins with a lot of self-examination. Before we take big steps forward, these three concepts deserve a little reflection.

Meaningful Lives Are Happy Lives

Back in our days of 9-to-5, we had reasons to get up in the morning. People depended on us. Most of the time that felt good. We may have also played meaningful roles while raising a family, taking care of loved ones, managing a household. We may have been the engines that kept our home lives running.

We don’t want to ride off into the sunset just because we retired from a job or our children grew up.

Most 21st century retirees still want to contribute something to the world after they leave their careers. They don’t want to play endless rounds of golf or live all their days on a cruise ship, despite the allure of leisure time activities.

Leisure activities are wonderful opportunities to bring more joy into our lives, but they alone are not enough for true happiness.

We still want people to care what we have to say, what we think. We may want to contribute to something greater than ourselves. We want to identify what we still have to offer the world.

We yearn for a life that has meaning.

Connections Bring Fulfillment

As much as we may relish our alone time, eventually most of us need to venture into the outside world. We need to engage.

Engagement is about connection. Connection keeps feelings of isolation at bay. Our hearts become fuller, our lives richer and our intellects sharper in the presence of other people who lift us up.

In our work lives, or when we were raising children, our connections often defaulted to those in the same orbit as we were… other moms, co-workers, clients. As we age, we develop a new idea of ‘community’ and a renewed need to feel connected and engaged.

As retirees, we have the gift of creating connections in ways that we haven’t tried before and engage with others in new conversations. As a result, we can cultivate more meaningful relationships.

There’s a high correlation between being happy and feeling connected to others in the spirit of community.

Challenges Can Be Exhilarating

When we retired we didn’t give up doing things that stretch us. We just gave up doing something we probably did very well. A happy retired life often means we take on different challenges. When we embrace something new, however small, we can feel more alive.

It’s taken us years to develop our talents, to hone our skills, to identify our gifts. During our retired lives, we’re not shying away from challenging ourselves. We’re embracing the chance to take a chance!

Learning to paint, starting a small business, taking a class in a subject that’s always fascinated us. There are hundreds of adventures we yearn to take; numerous pursuits we find stimulating. They can open channels to possibilities we never knew existed. Or that we only used to dream about.

Meaning, engagement and challenge are concepts at the heart of what most of us are yearning for. They go beyond the daily pleasures of retired life and lead us to what will truly make us happy as we blaze our trails through this next phase of lifelong growth.

Let’s Have a Conversation:

What are you doing to remain engaged and challenged and to bring meaning to your life at 60 and beyond? Please join the conversation below!

Your Circadian Clock May Be the Key to Weight Loss After 50

Weight-Loss-After-50

It seems that the brilliant researchers who study our circadian clock, that internal timekeeper, have tuned in to an important factor for weight management. It seems a blue light sensor in the retina measures ambient light level and sets the time to go to sleep and wake up every day.

A lecture by Satachin Panda, Ph.D., of the Salk Institute for Biological Sciences opened my eyes to this. Dr. Panda and his associates study our circadian clock as well as the body’s organ and hormonal systems, believing that each has its own circadian rhythm.

In the process of exploring how the liver’s daily cycles work, Dr. Panda found that mice who eat within a 12-hour period were slimmer and healthier than those who ate the same number of calories over a longer period of time.

When We Eat Might Be as Important as What We Eat

Based on these findings, when we eat may be equally as important as what we eat. As a health coach, I see many women struggling with obesity. Almost without exception, these women are night eaters and often forego breakfast because they don’t feel hungry.

Could it be their night eating has thrown off their circadian rhythms? It seems likely, since they also are poor sleepers.

I remember coaching a young woman who moved to the States from South Africa. She became overweight and was quite distressed by it.

She told me she ate a low-nutrient breakfast of coffee and a muffin early in the day, grabbed a quick high-fat lunch around 2 pm and grazed on snack foods in the evening until she went to bed.

When I asked her about her eating habits growing up, her response was: breakfast at six, lunch at noon, dinner at six, with no snacking. Her weight was fine in South Africa.

I think this young woman is a good example of what Dr. Panda is suggesting – that our body has a rhythm for eating as much as it has a rhythm for waking and sleeping.

The Hunger Cycle Has Its Own Clock

If you have traveled to different time zones, you’ve experienced the inconvenience of a disrupted sleep pattern. But have you also noticed that your hunger cycle is thrown off as well? It’s only natural. As we are learning, the hunger cycle has its own clock, and adjustments are required when traveling.

Let’s imagine you want to lose weight. Nutrition is like shoes – no one size fits all. There are, however, a number of tried and true methods that work.

When it comes to choosing a diet plan, the first and most important thing to do is go for high-nutrient, simple whole foods. These are foods that come in their original form – fruits, vegetables, antibiotic free meat, fish and poultry, beans, nuts and seeds.

When you eat these pure foods, your brain gets signaled that you have adequate nutrition and will turn down the appetite hormones.

Combining that with the findings that are emerging regarding circadian rhythms, you may find that you will lose weight even faster. Why? Your body will be in a healthier rhythm. Your insulin levels will be more stable, you’ll be better nourished and less stressed.

Some time ago, I wrote a piece on “Grab and Go” for Sixty and Me where I advocate for focused eating in the form of meals. This falls in line with our body’s rhythms, and our woman friend from South Africa is a good example of what happens when we snack.

How to Fit Nutrient Rich Foods into Your Diet

Could you imagine having 12-hour stretches of not eating? Think about it – if you have food at 7 pm at night, you would then have breakfast at 7 am the next morning.

Another option is having an early dinner each day, finishing your eating – except perhaps for a cup of tea – no later than 6 pm, and have your breakfast the next day at 6 am. It may be your most effective experiment with weight loss and successful outcome yet.

Weight gain doesn’t happen overnight. It is most often a slow, gradual process, where the needle slowly moves up.

That needle can be reversed with a patience-focused commitment to changing your food for the better. In addition, we get to use what we know about our body clock to give ourselves the best opportunity to burn the most energy each and every day.

Does the idea of the body’s clock’s influence on weight and metabolism make sense to you? Will you experiment with this idea? Please join the conversation.
