FANTABULOUS post!!!!!!!!! It is so important to expand the definition of beauty so that it is inclusive of all ages– not just the young!
What a wonderful thing to do!
I’m a little late to say this, but I agree with the recent comments, age is not a barrier to hinder our loved seniors from keeping themselves looking gorgeous. In fact, it will help them to stay healthy and active most of the time, knowing that even at old age, they still have the freedom to do what they wanted to do.
