I’m an over 60 blogger, digital content creator, and brand reviewer who founded BabyBoomster in 2012. I created BabyBoomster.com for active older women over 50 who are not ready for a rocking chair but are ready to rock. My audience wants to enjoy life and sees aging as a positive rather than a negative experience.
Even though some people consider us “old” we are not ready to be put out to pasture. We travel, take classes, pursue hobbies, and even start new businesses!
Blogging allows me to meet others in my demographic and work with brands and companies whose mission is to improve and enhance our lives.
Why I became a blogger over 50
For over 40 years I have worked as a professional voice actor in Los Angeles but I also explore other pursuits. My passions include traveling, eating fabulous food, taking long walks, and having fun.
I became a widow in 2001 with 2 pre-teen children to provide for. In 2020, I lost my live-in boyfriend of 15 years. Both men died of cancer. Life WILL kick you in the butt, but it’s how you react to it that counts. I chose to move forward, survive, and have a great rest of my life.

Age is just a number
Women in their 50s, 60s, 70s, and 80s + are making things happen. They connect with friends, learn new things, and pursue their dreams.
According to Gallup, older women are the fastest-growing group of entrepreneurs. Don’t think of us as hunched-up grannies. If we fall, we can get up . . . most of the time.
Did you know that advertising campaigns often ban the word “menopause?” They talk about E.D., but hardly ever the M-word. What’s up with that?
Women over 50 make approximately 87% of all buying decisions so we get annoyed when brands try to write us off and only pitch us adult diapers. We’re living longer, staying healthier, keeping up with style trends, and are ready to take on the world.
I was born in 1953 which makes me a Baby Boomer. My generation was born between 1946 – and 1964 and is between the ages of 60-78 but who is counting? Just a note: You don’t need to be a Baby Boomer to enjoy this blog.
My goal is to help you live the best life possible!
If you love to:
- Travel and venture fearlessly as a way to learn and expand your views
- Stay active, vibrant, and healthy for as long as possible.
- Look your best in a way that is your own no matter what your size.
- Improve your life for the better and create the best retirement scenario you can.
- Connect with those who are like-minded and empower each other
- Be entertained and have a good time
. . . then, this site is for you.
As women over 50 who have been there, done that, and experienced challenges over the decades, we don’t see ourselves as victims of our circumstances. Rather than retire or fade into the background, we reinvent ourselves (often numerous times) to achieve our full potential in life and live our purpose.
To do this, we eat smart, get enough exercise, and maintain a positive attitude for optimal health. That way we can continue to live long and happy lives and make the world a better place for future generations.
Simplicity and moderation have become themes for me. I am into wearing minimal makeup, getting rid of things I no longer need, avoiding toxic relationships, and not feeling like I have to compare myself with others. I do what feels good and without the need to compete with others. I also go with the flow to reduce stress and stay positive.
Savor every moment!
We have more freedom to express ourselves and pursue our passions. That’s why this blog focuses on topics such as travel, beauty, fashion, wellness, entertainment, health, self-discovery, self-improvement, and lifestyle.
There’s always a way to take a negative situation and make it a positive learning opportunity. See your cup as 1/2 full rather than 1/2 empty.
Why did I name this blog “Baby Boomster?”
A Boomster is a term that represents a worldly and urban Baby Boomer. I’m based in the enormous and diverse city of Los Angeles and have lived in Southern California most of my life. As a Baby Boomer, and film industry member, I like to think of myself as a “Boomster!” LOL
The mission of this blog
I want this site to encourage you to embrace your decades of wisdom and experience and set yourself on a path to find fulfillment and joy in your life!
We all struggle at times. If you’ve been alive this long, chances are you’ve encountered obstacles. I certainly have, but I believe we can overcome anything we’re faced with and turn it into a blessing.
