Best In Beauty What is one of your favorite skin care products? I use the REFINEÉ skin care line.
A Smart Start What’s been your biggest mental shift since entering your 50s? I’m two years and nine months clean from having breast cancer. That didn’t change my mindset, but as far as my age and how it affects my mindset, I have just gotten more positive. I have an even deeper faith in God and confidence in myself ... breast cancer just empowered those things more.
Has your perception of what someone over the age of 50 looks and feels like changed? Absolutely. I don’t see myself as an age. I still see myself as 25, but it’s starting to feel more like 30. All these years, the numbers have clicked off and it’s just a number to me.
What do you love about being in your 50s? I’ve learned to worry less. It doesn’t matter what comes my way. It’s all going to end OK. I wasn’t like that in my 40s.
What do you think is underrated about being over 50? Definitely physical ability. There are too many women that think ‘I can’t do that! I’m in my 50s.’ The physical ability is absolutely still there, you just have to work at it and find something that works for you. My mom is 72 and she tries to do DDP Yoga! The big thing is to stay healthy and to have that inner glow, which really comes from how you eat.
Health Is Wealth How do you stay active? I do DDP Yoga—and that’s all I do. It’s all encompassing. It has cardiovascular movements, strength training, yoga positions, and has multiple old-school calisthenics.
A Soulful Sync How have your spiritual beliefs evolved during this decade of your life? I have more confidence in myself, my God, and the universe. My beliefs haven’t changed—they’re just more solid.
Wise Words What’s the biggest lesson you’ve learned since entering your 50s? I’m focused on giving back what I’ve learned as a mature woman by mentoring younger females, starting with my 20-year-old daughter. bestselfatlanta.com
