Hair thinning, dullness, dehydration, breakage and dryness can happen for a variety of reasons, like hot tools and environmental stressors. But sometimes it’s just age. And that’s OK! Aging is great! But when you want your hair to look full, voluminous and a little more like it did before, look no further than Cindy Crawford’s Meaningful Beauty. The supermodel knows a thing or two about hair, especially since everyone tried to copy her look in the ’80s and ’90s.

Crawford co-developed the line to help with the signs of aging she was noticing. The key ingredients in the collection are the brand’s melon leaf stem cell technology and melon super antioxidants, which promise to moisturize the scalp, while silk proteins, castor oil, peptides and plant-based keratin work to strengthen hair and help reduce breakage.

The beauty icon’s ’90s blowout is even popular now, with the look currently trending on TikTok. “The glam blowout really never goes away!” says Crawford’s longtime hairstylist and brand ambassador, Richard Marin. “Although now it seems to be having a resurgence because so much of fashion is ’90s influenced. We are also seeing a return to very layered hair, which looks good air dried, but blown out has an even bigger effect.” 

It’s not just haircare, either. Crawford has a skincare line that contains that same melon leaf stem cell technology but with additional must-haves like retinol. You can pick them all up now officially at Amazon.

So many of us on this side of 60 are trying to figure out what our next steps might be. Some might be looking to make big moves like writing a book or starting a business. Others want to retire, relax, or travel. Spend time with family. Work on our health. Volunteer.

Our options and choices are infinite and can run the gambit between subtle to huge life changes.

But, regardless of what we each decide to do based on our own situation, there are certain wishes that seem to be consistent in the women that I have worked with:

1. We are looking for something that is fulfilling for us at this stage of life.
2. We are looking to carve out time each day or at least each week to do something that brings us joy.
3. We often (not always, but often) aren’t sure what this “thing” might be.

As we move forward, there are three key steps to helping us live more fully and happily. Regardless of where our own individual journey might take us.

Be Present

In spring of 2022, I underwent some stressful “life” things, the main one being that my granddaughter was diagnosed with Type 1 Diabetes. I had been toying with the idea of fading out of my career largely to free up my schedule to spend more time with family, especially my grands. This diagnosis lit a fire under me and caused me to move forward quickly with that plan. By summer, I was well on my way to being faded out at work.

As this was all happening, I promised myself that as I moved forward, I was going to “be present.” I realized that for my ENTIRE LIFE since the age of six, I had not been fully present in any moment – happy or unhappy. I had always been somewhere else, worrying about something or someone, thinking about what I should be doing instead of what I was doing.

Or thinking about how much I’d rather be doing this or that other thing instead.

I have never been present. And this has robbed me of a lot of joy in my life.  

So, my first and most important key step is to encourage you to be present. Notice what is happening in the moment. Listen to the sound of your grandchildren’s laughter and love it. Notice the trees. Walk barefoot in the grass.

Be present in that moment. Experience it. The other things will be there waiting for you when you’re done and that is okay.

Carve Out YOU Time Each and Every Day

We spend so much time each day and week reacting to the needs of others. Often, this can lead to ending each day wondering where the day went.

If you have an idea of what you’d like to do moving forward, this time can be used to:

• Carry out your next action steps as they relate to setting up your plan.
• Work on your “thing.”
• Engage in a community that relates to what you are doing.
• Take a class that will help as you move forward with your plan.

If you aren’t sure what you’d like to do next, this time can be used to:

• Reflect and journal,
• Research possibilities,
• Try different things out to see if something fits!

Put this time on your calendar and treat it with the same (or more) respect than you would any other important appointment. So many of us do not prioritize ourselves, and it is time to start doing so!

Create a Small New Habit or Routine

Often, creating a new habit in one area of your life can have a domino effect throughout all of the other areas. So, for those of you who aren’t quite sure what you want to do next, a small habit change is a great place to start.

Or, you may be very happy exactly where you are. You see your family the perfect amount of time. You are happily retired or happily working. You like how much you travel. If you’re caregiving, that routine is in a good place. But, you’d like to start walking each day. Or waking up when the alarm goes off. Or journaling.

I am working on the new habit of walking. My goal is to walk at least a mile each day and two miles several times a week. Some weeks I’ve met the goal and others I haven’t, but I am walking at minimum four times per week every week.

What I notice is that on the days that I walk I feel better, sleep better, and eat healthier. All things that contribute to my good health. Also, while I’m walking, I listen to an audio book or podcast. I enjoy the scenery around me and often come up with good content ideas for my community of women.

Starting that small habit has affected every area of my life. For those of us in this community who are experiencing barriers either external or internal, starting with a small habit change can be very beneficial.

Let’s Have a Conversation:

What does your ideal day and week look like as you move forward? What steps can you start to take towards that in terms of carving out time each day for YOU? What small habit changes might domino for you into other areas of your life?

2016 makeup trends are long gone. We’re talking block eyebrows (“dip brows”), ultra-matte skin and dry liquid lipstick. Thank goodness that look is in the past. But something we haven’t fully left behind is contouring. And makeup icon and entrepreneur Bobbi Brown isn’t a fan. We chatted over Zoom about the newest launch for her brand Jones Road, The Bronzer, and how she hopes you’ll use it every day — even if you must contour with it.

“It’s not meant to be a contour product,” Brown tells STYLECASTER. “So, I’m not going to give you advice on how to. It’s like telling your kids how to drink.” Instead, The Bronzer is for warming up your face, like you just went on a tropical vacation. You know, the way bronzer was used before everyone started sculpting their faces. To come up with the perfect one, Brown thought about what she didn’t like about bronzers in the past, for example, “too orange, too sparkly and dry on the skin.” That’s not what you’re getting here.

The Bronzer has a soft and silky texture so it feels like you’re wearing nothing on your skin. It’s a natural-looking bronze that truly takes seconds to apply.

Obviously if you want to use The Bronzer to contour, you can. But here’s how Brown loves to apply it. “Dip it in and tap it to get the excess powder off,” she says. “Use it where the sun hits you, a little on the forehead and on the nose. I kind of blend it all over. And if you notice, I didn’t dip it in again because everyone’s neck is lighter than their face.” It’s a natural matte finish — without drying out your skin. Brown likes to add her The Best Blush ($28 at Jones Road) or Miracle Balm ($38 at Jones Road) on top.

You barely have to blend the bronzer if you have the right shade for your skin tone. That’s how seamless it is. If all the bronzer products on the market feel overwhelming to you, this is definitely one of the easiest to use. TikTok is already taking notice. Brown is a bit of a star on the platform, with more than 425K followers on her own account. And she got her following by being real, showing her products sans beauty filter and giving her decades-long expertise in the beauty world.

“My lesson I learned a long time ago is don’t try to be someone I’m not,” she says. “Try to be who I am. And it’s my advice to everyone because you just can’t make stuff up. You just got to be yourself. And if people don’t like it, that’s their problem.”
