Jane's
Philosophy
After Forty,
IT'S A MATTER OF MAINTENANCE
MAINTENANCE
is an intimidating word! It’s a noun, but implies that something needs to be
attended to!

I Hope I Look as Good as
You . . .
Like a house that starts to age, little things happen out of the
 blue, the plumbing leaks, woodwork needs new paint, the doors stick, weeds pop up everywhere. So, the aging, falling down house has maintenance done on it. And it always costs more than you expect! That’s exactly what happens to our physical houses. Things start appearing that weren’t there before. Unfortunately, it’s a cycle that never ends. So to keep a happy frame of mind it’s best do the same with our physical house, sweating the small stuff before it gets to be big stuff.
Since I have been in my 70’s, I have shared my real age with friends and acquaintances. Invariably when they hear my age they say, "You’re kidding, or you look fabulous--- I hope I look as good as you when I get your age. You should write a book." I always reply, you can-- because it’s a choice.

Tenacity and
Gratitude
So, since having been asked, I will share a few thoughts with all women entering into
their thirties and forties who would like to keep their vitality, and their youthful looks well into their 80’s. This will not happen by just wishing it. A woman must be serious about approaching the later years of life. Vow that you will not go down the ageing path without a fight. Tenacity, (determined, persistent, single-minded, disciplined) is what it takes to make it happen. Most importantly, you must always maintain a high, self-esteem of yourself. You are unique, there is only one like you of all the millions of women in the world. I especially love the books of Louise Hay with her daily, positive affirmations that help keep my self esteem high. (Website:LouiseHay.com) And being grateful for everything. Gratitude should become a way of life.

I choose to
feel good about myself each day. Every morning I remind myself that I
can make the choice to feel good.

I focus on
positive thoughts because the thoughts I think and the words I speak
create my experiences.

Banish Each Negative
Thought
I am finding the goal attainable and enjoyable. I can only share the steps I have taken in my life that have kept me much more youthful than even I thought I could be. The steps are spelled out in the word MAINTENANCE. It has been worth every sacrifice to not dread looking in the mirror, especially as I enter my 77th year. Banish the negative image of ageing in your mind once and for all. Make the mirror your friend. Have lots of mirrors around the house, and use a magnifying mirror when applying makeup. Mirrors make your rooms look larger and capture the sunlight making your home look beautiful. I have mirrors everywhere. Even floor to ceiling ones in my dressing room. You can’t get away from yourself if you are always running into a mirror.
You can be attractive, vital and just as productive in your later years by remembering these words, "After 40, it’s a matter of maintenance." And a mirror will tell you when maintenance
is needed.

Old age isn’t for
sissies! - Bette Davis.
When you are young, who ever thinks they are going to get old, with all its implications? My mother was a beautiful w oman with soft, lovely skin. The only beauty regimen I can ever remember her using was Ponds Cold Crème and a rough washcloth. She would scrub her face for 5 minutes or more. I don’t know whether she was aware or not that she was doing something important for her skin, removing that dead, dry surface layer, but I learned to do the same process on my skin early on. I have exfoliated my skin since I was in my thirties and, according to Dr. Oz and Dr. Peter Brandt, exfoliation is the secret to excellent skin quality.
That is why I am so enamored
with my cleanser / exfoliater,
Shinsen.

Needlework
All skin ages, depending on genes and hormones, the care it’s given, the
 food we eat, the sunlight it takes in, weight gain and loss over and over and smoking and alcohol which depletes the skin of oxygen and moisture, making it prone to wrinkle. How lucky we are to now have great doctors who specialize in botox and fillers. I call it needlework. Very few women are lucky enough to reach the golden years without using their services. It is so important to start at the earliest signs, before great damage has been done and you will always look rested and refreshed rather than pulled and stretched.

After Forty,
IT'S ALSO A MATTER OF DISCIPLINE
DISCIPLINE
= self control-educate-orderliness-practice-train-toughen up - Webster's College Dictionary
DISCIPLINE
Discipline yourself to dress to impress, and you will be dressed for success - be a visual delight.
In life’s journeys, discipline yourself to give a sincere compliment to each one you meet.
Sing, dance, play an instrument, it all takes discipline to practice, but your inner child will have fun and can let off steam.
Confidence comes from the discipline of trying, and more trying, nothing ventured, nothing gained.
Instill the desire to discipline yourself to diligently work toward your goals each day.
Plan your work and work your plan, that takes discipline, but it’s easier when you do what makes you happy.
Look at yourself from the outside in-discipline yourself to go beyond feelings of not being capable and creative enough.
Inactivity breeds incompetence, discipline yourself to get up each morning, have a goal and meet it.
Nostalgia is a no-no. Discipline yourself to live for today.
Regrets, yearning and pining away should be put away.
Everyone has many chapters in their book of life, write it!
Read it! Be amazed at what you, as a disciplined person, have
accomplished.

Call
Me Jane
Hi, I am Jane Koehler. I am 77 years young and can still do
everything I did in my forties, despite having an unexpected stroke when I was 73 and an unexpected heart attack when I was 74. Believe it or not, I just emailed Oprah after watching her show yesterday and asked her why she always shows women into their 60’s, but rarely their 70’s and 80’s. Have you noticed that, too? Are we a forgotten group of women who are still dynamic and just as worthwhile being shown as role models for others? What would Sophia Loren, Barbara Eden and Julie Andrews think about that! They are all 77. And still beautiful and working.
I know there are women out there, like me, who make everyday count in some way, have businesses, make their lives exciting, dress up, not dowdy, care about others and are an
inspiration to their children and grandchildren . Life is only what you make of it and it can become very ho-hum if you let it. So, if you feel like I do, this site is for you.
(Contact me with a picture and story. I would love to put a book together of all of us who are still vibrant and making a difference in the world)
 This is a small line of products, but every skincare and wellness product on this site has been hand picked by me and is being used by me and I fully endorse them. My wellness products have kept me young and I use them daily. I have a Migun bed, IFR with rollers which I use daily, I do not sell it, but you can still purchase them. I had whiplash in 1980 and have gone to chiropractors since then. But not for the last four years. No more doctors appointments, my Migun bed and QuantumWave Laser keep me pain free.
