11 Ways for Women over 40 To Feel Beautiful

Embrace aging: Instead of fighting against the natural aging process, embrace it and find confidence in the life experience and wisdom that comes with it.

1. Take care of your physical health: Eating a healthy diet, exercising regularly, and getting enough sleep can improve your physical appearance and boost your confidence.

2. Dress for your body type: Find clothes that flatter your figure and make you feel good about yourself. Don't be afraid to experiment with different styles and colors.

3. Practice self-care: Take time for yourself each day to do things that make you feel good. This can include reading, meditating, or taking a relaxing bath.

4. Find a hobby: Having a hobby or activity that you enjoy can give you a sense of purpose and fulfillment.

5. Surround yourself with positive people: Spend time with people who uplift and support you, and limit your time with those who bring you down.

6. Build a strong support system: Having a strong network of friends and family can provide you with the support you need to feel confident and beautiful.

7. Learn to love your wrinkles: Wrinkles are a natural part of aging, and they can add character and depth to your face. Learn to appreciate them as a sign of a life well-lived.

8. Take care of your skin: Regularly cleansing, moisturizing, and protecting your skin can help keep it looking youthful and radiant.

9. Stand up for yourself: Speak up when you feel disrespected or taken advantage of. Being assertive can help you feel more confident and in control.

10. Be kind to yourself: Treat yourself with the same kindness and compassion you would offer to a friend. Remember that everyone has flaws, and try not to be too hard on yourself.

11. Last but not least, have a boudoir session with Boudoir Betty. Although this should be first on the list because when you feel good about yourself, you are more confident, and willing to accept nothing less than what you deserve!

In conclusion, feeling confident and beautiful as a woman over 40 is not just about looking good but also taking care of yourself physically, emotionally and mentally. It's important to embrace aging, practice self-care, surround yourself with positive people, take care of your skin, stand up for yourself, and be kind to yourself. Remember that confidence and beauty come from within, and the most important thing is to feel good about yourself.

When Your Partner Says "No" to Boudoir Photos

Sometimes partners are outright adamant about a significant other doing a boudoir session. Most times, it is centered around their own insecurity and projecting it onto their partner. 

These partners fail to understand that boudoir is more than just a sexy photo. It’s about celebrating you, and where you are at right now.  Your partner should be celebrating with you. 

Sometimes, this attitude is limited to just your partner feeling a little jealous that someone other than them is seeing you in such an intimate manner, and they are generally supportive in other areas of your life.  

However, extreme jealous or anger may point to deeper issues within the relationship. Are they controlling, suspicious? Or do they ignore you, insult you, or just not communicate with you in general?  

You know whether your relationship is healthy or not.  You just need to weigh whether it’s worth staying or going.  

Boudoir photos are usually symbolic for women in many ways, and it can be so hurtful when the person we love, and oftentimes take the photos for, reacts poorly.  It can feel like they are rejecting you.  

It’s important for jealous partners to understand what boudoir photos actually represent to their significant other.  We grow up in a society that encourages women to be self-critical; the constant barrage of a beauty ideal that most of us fail to live up to strips us of our confidence.  Instead of teaching little girls to love themselves and their bodies, we are subjected to constant messages that we are less than, or not good enough. 

Boudoir photos allow women to see themselves in a new, loving, and positive light.  It’s self-love, empowering, and healthy for her to see how beautiful she really is. Self-confidence matters because when we are confident, we have less fear and anxiety. We feel more motivated to accomplish new goals, and have better coping skills against failure. 

A more confident partner often translates to better relationships because she’s not worried about what other people think of her.  She can genuinely engage with others, and be more empathetic.  And isn’t that what partners should be celebrating with their significant other?

QUIZ: What Kind of Boudie Babe Are You?

Take this quiz to see how your style might translate in a boudoir session with me. Feel free to share it with all your girlfriends!

Boudoir On Pointe

Dance was the the spark that lit her soul on fire and fueled the fire beneath her feet.

It’s not every day that I get a dancer in my studio so I had to take full advantage. Her pink ensemble pops against her dark skin, and demonstrates that no tutu is needed!

The result is unconventional, elegant, and exquisite!

Slippery When Wet

I came up with a temporary shower set as the bathroom in my studio is much too small to shoot in and the results were nothing short of spectacular. 

This was a limited edition set due to the small space afforded by studio; I cannot leave it up all the time.  BUT...that doesn't mean I won't be bringing it back.  If you want in on these sessions, get on my mailing list now!
