Lisa Hochstein is sippin’ tea in her purple tie waist crop top for her interview. And I’m sure she is spilling some tea as well, just hopefully not on the fab top. Because the only tea worth pouring all over a top like this is the deets on where to get it from below. Cheers 🍵

Kerry Washington Wore $7 Press-On Nails to the NAACP Image Awards & They Looked Incredible


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

Saturday night was the 54th Annual NAACP Image Awards where stars from TV, film and social media slayed the red carpet. Seriously, the looks were better than any others this award season. Kerry Washington looked especially gorgeous in a Fendi Couture dress and sparkly sandals. In fact, she looked so glam, we were surprised to find out Washington was also wearing press-on nails that cost less than $7. It’s all thanks to manicurist Kim Truong.

Truong recently teamed up with Lottie London and became the brand’s Artist in Residence to create three sets of press-on nails. For this night, they chose the KimKimNails x Lottie London’s Stay Press’d nails in Groovy Chrome to tie in with the silver and crystal pavé on Washington’s dress. On March 1, they’re launching alongside Colour Block Party (with a coral-pink base) and Glazed & Unfazed (for that glazed donut trend.)

“My dream collection with @lottielondon is finally available @walmart and lottie.london 💅 Plus the collection is made from 30% PCR (recycled plastic) and all the outer packaging is also made from recyclable materials, perfect for all of us plant lovers,” Truong wrote on Instagram.

Each set includes 30 nails of varying sizes, adhesive pads, vegan nail glue, a nail file and a wooden stick, as well as a promise for a up to seven days wear.

For the rest of Washington’s glam, hairstylist Takisha Sturdivant-Drew used Maui Moisture products, like the new Lightweight Curls + Flaxseed Edge Control ($10.80 at Ulta Beauty). Carola Gonzalez was on makeup with Neutrogena products (Washington is an ambassador), including Neutrogena Sensitive Skin Eyeshadow + Primer in Warm Taupe ($10.87 at Amazon) and Neutrogena Microbrown Tint Serum Eyebrow Enhancer in Deep Brown ($14.19 at Target). The results are gorgeous.

The #1 Thing to Do to Start a Self-Care Routine After 60

self-care routine

There is one thing you take with you everywhere you go.

Your body.

It stands to reason, then, that having a self-care routine for your body after 60 should be your number one priority.

For many people, it is. Unfortunately, for a great many more, it is not.

With all of the ways we can establish and engage in a self-care routine for our body, why is it such a challenge to not only establish one but consistently maintain it?

In part-one of a two-part article, we’re going to answer that question by starting where all self-care routines begin.

In your mind.

The Foundation

As much as a self-care routine for you body requires some level of physical activity, none of it happens without first processing the thoughts, beliefs, and emotions that run through your mind.

This is why the foundation and #1 thing to start any self-care routine for your body, is loving yourself just as you are.

But how do you engage in a self-care routine for your body if you were not taught how to love yourself?

For example, millions of people over 60 walk daily, eat healthy food and take high-quality supplements. This would appear to be the basis for a self-care routine.

Yet, for many of those who engage in these activities, they remain unhappy, unfulfilled, and longing for something better.

The main reason for this is an unconscious belief in not being enough.

You Are Enough

Whether you are already engaging in your own self-care routine for your body or want to start one, here’s where I suggest you begin.

Find a quiet place to sit with your journal and write the following:

  • I am enough.
  • I do enough.
  • I have enough.
  • I have always been enough.
  • I love myself just as I am.

Once these declarations are written, begin to speak them out loud to yourself multiple times a day.

Pay close attention to how your inner critic will attempt to not only distract you from doing this, but also how it offers reasons why one or more of these declarations are not true for you.

Why is this so important for a self-care routine for your body?

When you do not believe you are enough, or you do not believe what you are doing in life is enough, it is very easy to unconsciously sabotage your desires.

Developing a Growth Mindset

When your desires are being sabotaged, small obstacles and distractions to loving yourself turn into giant ones. These obstacles and distractions become excuses for why there isn’t enough time or resources to engage in a self-care routine for your body.

How do you overcome this?

Remove seen and unseen obstacles on your path by identifying limiting beliefs and then replacing them with new, more empowering beliefs.

Limiting beliefs show up in a variety of ways. At the core of their essence is a disempowered, fixed mindset.

This means you have a fixed set of beliefs that are not serving you, but you remain convinced they are true and unchangeable.

Empowering beliefs support your desires for improvement.

They are developed through an empowered, growth mindset that does not allow past failures or perceived obstacles to get in the way of your well-being.

Stop Avoiding What Triggers You

A self-care routine for your body after 60 requires a conscious and consistent approach to observing your thoughts and emotions as they show up.

How do you go about this?

Stop avoiding thoughts and emotions that are uncomfortable. Even worse, don’t dismiss your desires or inspired ideas as being selfish or unattainable.

This goes back to self-love.

If you avoid what triggers you, whether it is an uncomfortable feeling or a feeling of joy, this creates added stress and emotional turmoil in your mind and body.

That is why even if you are in good physical shape, your emotional and mental state of being can be suffering greatly as a result of avoiding what triggers you.

It All Starts with You

To love more of who you are requires that you own your emotions and take responsibility for how you feel. This includes not making excuses or blaming others for why you neglect to engage in a consistent self-care routine for your body.

No matter where you find yourself on the emotional spectrum, the common denominator in all of you of life experiences is YOU.

Therefore, to establish and maintain a healthy, self-care routine for your body after 60 it is 100% your responsibility and no one else’s.

In part-two of this article and video for Sixty and Me readers, we will explore 15 easy ways to establish a self-care routing after 60.

In the meantime, join me in the video above where I share additional insights and guide you through three journal prompts and 10 empowering affirmations.

Let’s Have a Conversation:

Can you say that you love your body? Why or why not? What self-care routine have you established for your body so that it is well cared for? What obstacles have you overcome on your path to developing a self-care routine that works for you?

Currently I am sitting working in a downpour of rain, so it’s nice to see a rainbow even if it is in the form of Tamra Judge’s zip of sweatshirt. But what’s even better than seeing that is seeing that the hoodie is still available and in a couple of different colors! Which you can find somewhere over the rainbow at the bottom of this post. 🌈

Hailey Bieber & Victoria Beckham Both Use This Esthetician-Loved Skincare Brand—& Even I’m a Fan


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

I was introduced to COSMEDIX’s clinical-grade heroes through a facial many months back. Esthetician Derek Davenport, owner of Urban Routine, an all-inclusive, high-end salon and spa in Wichita, Kansas, walked me through some of his favorites from the skincare brand, and I’ve truly been hooked ever since. Given the formula’s high-level ingredient lists and effective results, it makes sense why Davenport had such high remarks for each product—COSMEDIX was originally created by and for estheticians. 

Each product the brand carries is free of parabens, petrolatum, mineral oil, PEGs, sodium lauryl sulfate, hydroquinone, glycolic acid, formaldehyde and artificial dyes and fragrances, so you can rest assured your skin is only getting the best of the best. Since COSMEDIX was founded by professional estheticians and nurse practitioners, each formula includes high concentrations of active ingredients that bring faster, more visible results than competitors.

Be that as it may, the brand has landed further than just in the hands of professionals; even celebrities are hooked on using the brand in their own routines, including Hailey Bieber, Victoria Beckham and Kim Kardashian. 

I personally use the COSMEDIX Purity Clean Exfoliating Cleanser on a regular basis, and Bieber has also made use of the purifying cleanser in her routine, too. The best-selling cleanser leans on ingredients like lactic acid, tea tree oil and peppermint essential oil to clear up congested skin, restore balance and minimize excess oil and shine.

Beckham has implemented several products into her regimen from Cosmedix’s Elite Skincare, a line of professional clinical-grade products that were formerly only available in spas with certified aestheticians. Per a previous Instagram post, she uses the Purity Solution Nourishing Deep Cleansing Oil every morning, and Cosmedix’s Purity Clean Cleanser every night. She follows the nightly wash up with the 24 Rapid Renewal Complex Serum, and makes sure to use the Eye Doctor, a liquid crystal eye treatment for thinning skin, twice a day.
