The Art of Self-Care: Prioritizing Wellness in Your 50s and Beyond

October 11, 2023

There’s an art to self-care, especially as we sail through our fabulous 50s and beyond. Prioritizing wellness becomes an essential ingredient to living a fulfilling and healthy life. And no, it’s not a selfish act, but a very necessary one. When we take proper care of ourselves, we’re better equipped to care for those we love. But, how can we embody the essence of self-care artistry? Let’s discover together.

the art of self care

First and foremost, love yourself

Self-care begins with self-love. It’s about treating yourself with the same gentleness, kindness, and understanding you’d afford your dearest friend. When you value yourself, you naturally take better care of your physical, emotional, and mental well-being.

Next, replenish your body

Good health in your 50s and beyond requires conscious nourishment. A balanced diet rich in fruits, vegetables, lean proteins, and whole grains fuels your body and wards off illnesses. Don’t forget to hydrate! Drinking plenty of water helps maintain optimal bodily functions.

Then, let’s move

Regular physical activity is a cornerstone of health. Whether it’s brisk walking, practicing yoga, swimming, or cycling, choose activities that you enjoy. It’s never too late to start; remember, the goal is to keep moving and have fun.

Embrace tranquillity

A peaceful mind is just as vital as a healthy body. Incorporate mindfulness practices like meditation or deep breathing into your routine to reduce stress and promote mental wellness. The power of calm and peace can have a profound effect on your overall wellbeing.

Nurture your relationships

Strong social connections contribute immensely to our emotional and mental health. Spend quality time with family, catch up with old friends, join a club, or volunteer. Engaging in activities that bring joy and foster connections can rejuvenate your spirit and sense of belonging.

Lastly, engage in activities that you love

Do you enjoy painting, reading, or gardening? Maybe it’s music or dance? Whatever it is, pursue it. Engaging in hobbies not only provides an outlet for your passions but also keeps your mind actively engaged and your heart joyous.

Remember, self-care is not about grand gestures or expensive indulgences. It’s about these little but crucial things we do every day to take care of our physical, emotional, and mental health. The better we feel, the better we function, and the more vibrant our lives become.

So, let’s all master the art of self-care, turning our 50s and beyond into a beautiful portrait of wellbeing. Because self-care is the best care, and you deserve nothing less.

Let’s face it, we all have insecurities. One of Let’s face it, we all have insecurities. One of mine is the vertical lip lines in and above my lips. 

When @rebekahstarkey_np told me about this type of treatment, I was intrigued (but nervous). I did my research and decided it was time to just go for it. 

The numbing cream and Rebekah’s skill and attention to detail made a huge difference. I didn’t feel a thing and I’m so excited to see the difference in a few short weeks.

Skinvive is a hyaluronic acid treatment that is used for hydration, texture and radiance.

Yes, I did have some swelling and bruising, but things are already looking better.

Skin Pharm started in Nashville and now has locations in Texas, Georgia, Florida, the Carolina’s and opening soon in IL. Check to see if they have one near you for all of your cosmetic dermatology needs to help you feel more confident too!💖

Since I’m trying to use more clean sustainable products both in my home and on my body, I wanted to share an online marketplace for 1000’s of carefully curated and vetted essentials including cleaning products that are free of harsh chemicals, clean beauty products, expert curated vitamins and SO MUCH MORE!

My first box arrived at my home last week and I was so happy to see everything that I ordered including some clean beauty products to take on this vacation.

In fact, I’m over here ordering a few more things to change out nearly all of my home cleaning supplies to healthier options (great prices too).

Enjoy your day! I’m relaxing under an umbrella on the beach in Cabo today.🏖️

One dress, two looks!✨ This soft + comfy green One dress, two looks!✨

This soft + comfy green knit tank dress from Coldwater Creek comes with a matching long sleeve sweater for endless styling options. #ad

Wear it during the day as a tank style and switch it up for the night with the cropped sweater when the temperature cools off.

It’s flattering, fun, and available in multiple colors—perfect for every body. 

I love wearing it with the tall black boots and adding a few finishing touches.

Visit the @coldwatercreek website for all of their new Fall styles.

These beautiful pieces of clothing are crafted to fit us petites perfectly!

Just look at this gorgeous chocolate brown suede pencil skirt…😍😍

It’s the perfect neutral to go with 2 beautiful new cardigan sweaters (one is mohair and one is alpaca). The ivory sweater is wool and it’s one of my favorites from last year. 

Visit the @petitestudionyc website to shop these wardrobe staples that you’ll keep in constant rotation for years to come.💗

They’re slow fashion, investment pieces. More to come soon on the blog, so be on the lookout!👀
