In our youth-obsessed culture, it often seems like there’s a war on aging. With multi-billion-dollar industries aiming to fight the signs of aging and sending women the wrong messages about getting older, we can easily forget the beauty of growing older. Aging is inevitable, and the alternative isn’t ideal. At Sacred Mama Organics®, we view aging as an important reminder of how lucky we are to live at such a beautiful time on such a beautiful planet. Below, we’re sharing 5 tips on how to age with intention and own your beauty in our youth-inspired culture. How to Own Your Beauty and Age Gracefully 1. View Aging Positively When we’re constantly saturated with the “younger is better” ideal, it’s easy to see why so many people begin to experience negative, shameful feelings around the topic of aging. But to age gracefully and confidently in your skin, it’s vital to maintain a positive outlook on getting older. According to a study by Yale University, those who viewed aging positively lived 7.5 years longer than those who approached it with a negative attitude. Not only that, maintaining a positive outlook on aging increases your overall happiness and satisfaction with life – and what’s better than that? So instead of words like “shame” or “embarrassment” popping up in your mind when you think of getting older, rewrite those old beliefs and embrace themes of radiance, confidence, grace, power, and acceptance. Some ways we love to do this are through powerful positive affirmations and learning to live in the present, making the most of each moment. 2. Love Your Body as It Changes It’s no secret that our bodies change continuously throughout our lives, and it can often be difficult (especially for women) to learn to feel happy and confident in their body as it ages and experiences changes. Embodiment practice is one way you can begin to feel more connected to the strength and beauty of your body and focus less on judgment. 3. Nourish Your Skin Your skin changes as you age, and so should your skincare routine. To nourish your skin and feel like your most radiant self, prioritize moisturizing, restorative natural skincare products packed with beneficial antioxidants and barrier strengthening ingredients like fatty acids and ceramides. Face oils, like our Superfood Beauty Oil, support mature skin with nutrient-rich superfoods, deeply hydrate and condition the skin, and improve overall skin texture and elasticity. 4. Cultivate Gratitude One of our favorite tips for living and aging with intention? Practice gratitude. Everyone can do this simple practice daily to transform how they view and experience life’s pleasures. Whether you take 1 minute or 15 minutes, spend some time thinking or writing down things you’re grateful for. Skincare is also a great way to slow down and show your skin gratitude, an appreciation for all it does and has done. 5. Be Mindful of What You Watch and Follow From social media to magazines to Hollywood, society’s beauty pressures are everywhere, and it’s easy to get swept up in them. Instead of watching or looking at images and messages that make you feel bad about yourself or force you to compare yourself against unrealistic expectations, spend your attention on things and people that do make you feel good. Follow those people and brands who embrace the beauty of aging and self-love. Spend time with loved ones. And nourish your mind, body, and spirit with things that fill you with joy.

A pretty good reason to embrace growing older.
I was thinking just the other day about how fortunate we ‘women of a certain age’ are in the year 2020 (When I say ‘women of a certain age’, I think I’m being kind to myself, as I’m sure I’m now in the ‘women past their sell by date age’!). When I think of my grandma’s time, and even my mum’s time, I can see how things have really improved over these past fifty years or so. Don’t get me wrong, I realise that we still have some way to go. I’m a big fan of the “me too” movement, and it’s so good to see how that Movement has improved things for women over just the past couple of years. Now, at long last, talented women are achieving those top jobs, and getting salaries to match their male counterparts. When you think where we’ve come from, that really is worthy of huge celebration. There are so many amazing groups that women can join now, to learn new things, and to forge exciting new friendships. These things don’t just happen, of course. You have to go out and look for them. I know, sometimes, it’s easier to just carry on with the ‘same old’, and if you’re happy doing just that, then that’s fine too. The main thing is, we have CHOICE these days. Just remember the old saying......”life is not a rehearsal.” THIS IS IT! I do think it’s important to keep a close circle of lady friends. As we get older, these ladies become even more important, and we realise how blessed we are to have them in our lives. Cherish these friends, and let them know how much they mean to you. Remember, life can change in an instant. Never be afraid to say “I love you”, or compliment them when they look good, or tell them when you like their new perfume, or lipstick, or whatever. Try to love all the stages of your life, for they are all magical in their own way. I hope you have enjoyed all the little quotes I have included with my Post today - all courtesy of Pinterest.com. I’ll leave you with one that, hopefully, will make you smile, from the wonderful Dame Maggie Smith...... See you next time little peeps, and thank you for taking the time to read my ramblings

You’ve likely noticed them – those little brown or black spots that seem to pop up on our skin as we age. They may not be harmful, but they can be a touch annoying, right? And while they’re commonly referred to as ‘age spots’, they’re also known as ‘liver spots’ or ‘solar lentigines’. Quite a […]
