Ageless Glamour Girls: Reflections on Aging - Paperback

by Marqueeta Curtis-Haynes (Author)

"Just keep on living..." My late mother, the inspiration for Ageless Glamour Girls(TM), used to love saying this. I first heard it in my mid-twenties, but it didn't click until later in life when I began navigating this aging journey. And among many of our mothers back then, there was very little, if any, talk with their daughters about growing older, and all that comes with it. And the M-word? What the heck is that?

This void inspired me to want to share information and engage with other women on the same journey. My first foray into gathering and celebrating women came years ago when I set out to form the online group, Between Us Girls, and I secured the domain name, betweenusgirls.com. After my job began taking over my life, I somehow lost the domain before I got started in earnest, and when I checked it again, it was a porn site. Oh well...

Several years later, and still on a mission to become a vehicle to help women manage aging, I created Ageless Glamour Girls(TM), targeting women 50+. (I cover the origin of the name in my chapter.) My vision was, and still is today, to provide a platform in which women of a certain age can "gather" together and share information on various topics, including caregiving, finances, second acts, menopause, plastic surgery, dementia, sexual health, grief, incontinence, and everything else from finding love to finding the best mascara that stands up to hot flashes. Our goal is to inform, inspire, empower, motivate, and entertain through the voices of various experts and women sharing their personal stories.

We love uplifting and celebrating older women through various platforms, including social media posts on Instagram, TikTok, Facebook - the AGG website, and a private FB group: The Ageless Café, the Ageless Glamour Girls(TM) Podcast; and now an anthology: "Ageless Glamour Girls(TM) Reflections on Aging." I am THRILLED the women in this book chose to share their stories with me and the world. Get ready to be inspired, amazed, informed, and entertained! A huge thank you and shout out to my phenomenal co-authors! I love you, Ladies! #blessingsgalore
