Hey Awesome ones,
Who made up these age rules anyway? “You can’t wear jeans after 50”, “Cut your hair short after 40”. I’ve heard so many rules that I’ve got to bring forward my authentic self and break a few of them! Just like body-shaming I think there’s a new thing our there that I’m going to call age-shaming. Hey, I’m not saying that you should wear hot pants and try to look 18 again. I also know that sometimes what you wear has to be “occasion appropriate”, like your conservative “uniform” for work or if you got invited to the royal wedding. But after business hours and when the royal family forgot to send you an invitation that’s “your” time. In this video I talk passionately on how we need to finally embrace our authentic or selves. I also explain how I have shattered the rules and embrace my true self with my personal ageing rule-breakers. I have provided links here to similar items to those in the video but not an exact match.

Dear Heather,
I found you quite by accident on YouTube. Yup, I have become that “woman of a certain age”, much to my dismay. Was feeling rather down in the dumps until I watched a few of your vids. Thank you, from the bottom of my fifty-mumble heart. I will be back to watch it ALL!
I think you’re wonderful, and your positivity is absolutely contagious.
Warmest Regards from Hamburg, Germany
Thanks so much Sherrye, you just made my day! Remember you are just starting your 2nd chapter! Lots of great years ahead of you. ENJOY!!!
Hi Heather! My name is Ann, I live in the uk.
I have a photo shoot in a few days, something I’ve never done before. It’s for a model agency called 123 models. They are looking for mature models I’m to bring with me 3 outfits. My question is what kind of outfits do I take with me? I’m 61 and not to sure how to go about this whole thing. I look firward to hearing from you.
Hmmm…I would say…”just be YOU”. Bring more than 3 outfits (maybe 6) Show your fun side, your date night look and maybe a casual look. That should cover all the bases. Remember to change your makeup to a more smokey eye for the date-night, dressy look. This sounds like a great day…ENJOY!!!
Hi Heather!
I have said so many of the things that you said in your video. I also would like to know who came up with those rules. I’m always saying I will do whatever I like. I love your hair! Mine is all gray! I have people ask me all the time if it is natural. I look forward to more of your videos!!! Thanks, for sharing, you awesome one!!!
Wow, thanks so much for your lovely comment Dotty (my Mom’s name was Dot). I think those rules are just made to make us feel old and you and I will have nothing of it!!!!
Ladies, there are a lot of us awesome over 50’s out there!!!! We need to own that we are an important demographic!!!!!!
YES!!! Absolutely Suzy!
