This opening photo of an outfit in the urban nomadic style by designer Nicholas K is a bit more futuristic and not as down and dirty as post-apocalyptic style normally is.  But interpreting styles to make them your own in a modern way according to your tastes is what the fashion game is all about.  This way, age doesn’t matter because you just tweak the look the way you like.  Keep this in mind as you check out the key concepts of how to dress at the end of the world!

How to Heal with the Amazing Energy of Crystals

Chakra minerals and crystals healing set

My birthday gift from my son this year was a chakra mineral starter set of healing crystals, with a velvet pouch containing the chakra healing stones.  The gift card said, “Hi, Mom! May they bring you abundance and comfort!  From Your Son.”

I was surprised to get this chakra healing set of crystals when I had just posted an article on “How to Use the Amazing Powers of Color.”  This was synchronicity at its best!  In my color post, I included a list of how to heal and correct the chakras by their corresponding colors.

I decided to share my gift with you.  I had already intended to write about crystals, and I will explore the topic more in the future if you like.  I hope that the basic information I am sharing with you here is helpful!

When we “cleanse” our chakras with crystals, we dispel negative energy that is building up inside of us and disturbing our delicate energy balance.  This promotes both emotional and physical self-healing.

Age doesn’t matter.  Throughout history, the wisest healers were those of a venerable age.

Is It Good To Be “Forever Fierce”?

I belong to an amazing Facebook group called Forever Fierce: The Midlife Revolution, spearheaded by Catherine Grace O’Connell.  Their first Forever Fierce Day is February 19, 2018.  To celebrate, the group is asking women in midlife and beyond “What does it mean to you to be Forever Fierce in midlife and beyond?”  The group promotes the idea that age doesn’t matter when it comes to women staying “fierce.”

I was surprised to be faced from the start with reactions against the word “fierce.” Continue Reading

How to Be Warm, Sexy and Edgy in Leather Pants

Faux leather pants are warm, sexy and edgy.  Even if that’s not your style, they balance out when worn with their opposites:  soft, feminine, girly, ladylike, even businesslike.  And they don’t have to be black; there are many other colors available now.  And they don’t have to be skin-tight.  The latest styles of leather pants are loose with drawstrings, gathered like joggers, shaped like culottes or with wide legs.  Because of all of these style options, age doesn’t matter.  Besides, if you’re older and facing imperfections on your legs, it totally covers any problem you might have!

Faux leather pants go well with feminine blouses, corset tops, lace and chiffon.  When the cold weather subsides, you can even wear them with tank tops and crop tops if that’s your thing!  To be extra warm all over, add a sweater such as a cable pullover or a cardigan.

Boots are the go-to footwear for leather pants.  For day, you can wear slip-on sneakers.  For evening, heels play up the sexy vibe.

Following are outfit ideas using black faux-leather pants and more outfit combinations after that using any color faux-leather pants.  These outfit suggestions range from the transition of Fall-to-Winter to the transition to Spring (for instance, if you have colored leather or cut-out booties or strappy suede sandals).

Sometimes when we’re sad or it’s a rainy drab day devoid of color, we dress in bright colors to cheer ourselves up.  We might paint our bedroom blue because it is a calming color that makes it easy to relax.  It’s obvious that colors around us affect how we feel and how we operate.  All through our lives, we can use color to improve how we feel in so many ways.  Age doesn’t matter.  In fact, the more experience we have the more adept we become at using certain colors to our advantage.
