Former microbiologist Grece Ghanem became a model and fashion influencer at the age of 50. Here, in a letter to her 24-year-old daughter, she shares everything she’s learned—about beauty, youth, self-love, and style.
- The secret to an eternally youthful spirit and striking good looks is staying natural and positive.
- Remember, it is impossible to be stylish without self-confidence.
- No matter your age, feeling young means staying curious and connecting with your childhood. Youth is ultimately a state of mind.
- Your health is a gift, protect it. Exercise and eat healthy.
- Take good care of your skin at every stage of your life.
- Your beauty will not disappear with age, but it will change. You must embrace these changes fully and not be afraid of them.
- Life is beautiful. Enjoy the happy moments to the max.
- You are beautiful in your self-confidence. You must feel it and believe in it. This way you stay visible, no matter your age.
- Be patient. Take pride and have gratitude in every step you take towards achieving your goals.
- Invest in timeless pieces—a wardrobe of clothes that are versatile and of good quality can be passed through generations. Add new trendy pieces to what you have collected. This makes you push the boundaries of your creativity.
- Fashion is about personality. The clothes you wear are the force behind your character. It is that power that we celebrate.
- Clothes should not overwhelm you. They should make you feel more beautiful, and give you strength and joy.
- Stay ambitious: dreams have no boundaries or expiration dates. Persevere, and stay confident.
- Above all, a strong and healthy mind is related to a strong, healthy, and positive body image.
- My beauty philosophy: beauty is being unconventional, having an opinion, holding on to your values and convictions, embracing yourself fully, being courageous, and being a leader.
- I know you do not have everything figured out just yet. Stay curious! Individuality develops with age, and you become wiser and more patient. You discover what you love about yourself and work on enhancing those aspects. Beauty starts on the inside and reflects outwards through your actions, words, and decisions.
