Ladies, let's face it; as moms, wives, aunts, and sisters, we tend to put ourselves last. That's why a few years ago, I started using Black Friday as an opportunity not only to prepare for the holiday season, but also as an opportunity to put myself first.
Keep reading on for the five amazing items on my wish list that I plan to snag during the sales. These items will let you treat yourself (or another woman in your life) and are perfect for any woman 50 and up.
1. Top Pick: Front Closure Bras for Seniors
This year, I looked at my drawer of overly-padded underwire bras and decided there wasn't a thing I still felt comfortable in.
It's no secret that as we age, our bodies change and things go south and that's why I was so pleased to discover Liberare's line of easy-on bras. I bought this one a few months ago and can't wait to try out some of their newer styles.
Traditional bras (ie underwires) are annoying to put on and so uncomfortable to try and close in the back all while fiddling with those pesky hooks!
That is why number one on my shopping list this year is a wireless front-closure bra from Liberare.
- Easy On and Easy-Off: I've never had an easier bra to put on than their Everyday Easy On Bra. I just bring the two sides together and it closes itself like magic.
- Front Closure with Magnets: This allows for a personalized fit, ensuring that the bra feels secure but not too tight.
- Buttery Fabric: Made with breathable, cloud soft fabrics like modal, cotton, and microfiber.
- Support & Sculpting: I'm in love with their comfort sculpt, a seamless bra that hungs you in all the right places for shaping and a gentle, natural lift. They also carry a wirelss T-shirt style bra with molded cups if you need a little more support too.
A front-close bra that is wireless, comfortable, and gives plenty of coverage is perfect for mature women like me!
2. EOT Wellness Bendable Silicone Applicator
On the theme of making life easier and pain-free, the second item on my wish list is an accessible applicator.
As a woman over 50, I’ve found that taking care of my skin is more important than ever, and this innovative tool has become a staple in my skincare routine. The EOT Wellness applicator is designed to make applying creams and serums easier, particularly for those of us who may have limited hand strength or dexterity.
Here’s why I love the EOT Wellness Bendable Silicone Applicator:
- Ergonomic Design: Its bendable structure allows me to comfortably reach every area of my face and neck without straining. This is especially helpful for applying products evenly and avoiding tugging on delicate skin.
- Gentle Application: The soft silicone material is gentle on the skin, providing a soothing massage effect while I apply my favorite moisturizers or serums. It enhances absorption and leaves my skin feeling refreshed.
- Versatility: I can use it with a variety of products, from hydrating creams to serums, making it a versatile addition to my skincare arsenal.
During Black Friday, I’ll be on the lookout for deals on this applicator. It’s a fantastic investment for anyone looking to elevate their skincare routine while ensuring comfort and ease of use. Plus, with the holidays approaching, it makes a thoughtful gift for friends and family who might appreciate a little extra help in their beauty routines!
3. Skincare Essentials
As someone who has always believed in taking care of my skin, I’m excited to add some new skincare products to my collection. At 55, my skin needs different care than it did in my 30s. I look for products that hydrate, firm, and protect my skin, especially during the dry winter months.
I'm pinning these products from Jones Road to add to my growing collection:
- A Shimmery Face Oil: This face oil looks like a sunset in a bottle. I can't wait to try this and give my skin some extra moisture over this dry winter season
- Lip Balm: This lip balm is one of my favorites so I'll be looking for Black Friday deals to stock up. The colors are lovely and the feeling is lightweight and non-greasy.
- Skincare: This skincare kit has everything a beginner like me might need. IT's so importatnt to try things out and see what works best for your skin so I'll be looking for this on sale.
4. Stylish Footwear
Comfortable footwear is essential, but comfortable shoes you can step into without bending over is even more amazing. That's why I have my watch set to look for Black Friday deals on these step-in puffy boots.
Here’s what I loved about these boots
- Step In: These boots features a springy cage on the heel that allows you to step into them without having to bend.
- Wide Fit Options: Many brands now offer shoes in wide fits, which can be a lifesaver for comfort.
- Versatile Styles: If boots aren't your thing, this brand has some versatile options you can shop instead.
Black Friday is the perfect time to invest in a quality pair of shoes that I can wear for months and stay comfortable.
5. Fitness Tracker Watch (No Phone/ App)
The older I get, the more that staying active and healthy is important to me. And while I admit that technology can be a great aid in achieving my fitness goals, I get easily frustrated with most of the fitness trackers on the market that require app downloads, a flood of notifications, or a complicated set up. That's why this watch is number five on my wish list.
Some items on my radar include:
- Simple Design: A good fitness tracker can help me monitor my steps, heart rate, and even sleep patterns and let's me jump right into it without any tricky set up. This watch is simple, works without a mobile phone, and is very light and comfortable to wear.
- Waterproof: Washing the dishes or going for a swim? This watch meets the IP68 waterproof standard, which I am taking to mean it's one less thing I need to think about.
- Heart Rate & Sleep Feedback I love being able to track my sleep, especially as I go through menopause.
Treat Yourself!
Shopping smart during Black Friday lets you treat others-and yourself! I hope my wish list gave you some guidence on worthwhile purchases that will enhance your lifestyle and well-being. From front closure bras designed for comfort to stylish footwear and wellness gadgets, each item on my list serves a purpose.
I encourage all my fellow women over 50 to embrace this shopping season and invest in items that will bring YOU a little joy and comfort. Happy shopping, and have a great holiday season!
