GRWM 99 YEAR OLD ABUELITA 🦋

Spending time with my 99-year-old abuelita is always a joy, but our 'Get Ready With Me' sessions are truly special. It's not just about applying makeup; it's a cherished ritual, a moment of connection where I get to pamper the woman who has given so much. Seeing her radiant smile after a little bit of self-care is priceless. Her approach to beauty is really inspiring. She's always believed in taking care of her skin, and it shows! We always start with a good moisturizer, just like the IMAGE Skincare Ormedic Creme we used. She's truly obsessed with skincare and understands the importance of hydration. And of course, living in Nicaragua, SPF of course is non-negotiable. Kate Somerville's Hydrakate SPF 50 is a favorite for protecting her beautiful complexion. She always says, 'Your skin tells your story, so make it a good one!' This commitment to daily self-care is definitely one of her lifelong 'hobbies' that contributes to her incredible vitality. When it comes to makeup, my abuelita prefers an elegant and classic look. She loves a touch of color to brighten her face, so a beautiful blush from Estée Lauder is essential. She's truly a queen in every sense, and her makeup really enhances her natural beauty. Her lips are always kept glossy with a good glossy balm, like the Hourglass Cosmetics one we used, making them look plump and youthful. And for a bit of sparkle, she adores a hint of sparkly eyeshadow from the Anastasia Beverly Hills Cosmos Palette. It's just enough to make her eyes twinkle, reflecting her vibrant spirit. Beyond her beauty routine, my abuelita's 'personal life' is rich with simple pleasures. She absolutely loves going to nice restaurants – she's definitely a steak and potatoes kinda girl! These outings are more than just meals; they're opportunities for her to socialize, dress up, and enjoy the finer things in life. She takes pride in looking her best for these occasions, making the getting-ready process even more significant. I've also learned that her daily routine includes quiet moments of reflection, perhaps sipping her Coca-Cola Zero (her little indulgence!) while enjoying the garden or listening to her favorite music. These small habits, these little 'hobbies' of hers, contribute to her peaceful demeanor and overall happiness. She teaches me that true beauty comes from taking care of yourself, inside and out. It's about feeling good, savoring moments, and embracing every chapter of life with grace. Watching her reminds me that age is just a number when your spirit is so full of life. It’s an honor to help my elegant, pampered queen get ready, and I cherish every moment.
