A Bloomer is a woman who…
♥ has come to full maturity
♥ embraces her age (age is just a number)
♥ looks after herself
♥ loves herself
♥ is self-compassionate
♥ encourages and supports other women
♥ accepts herself
♥ is true to herself
♥ strives to be her best
♥ makes the rest of her life the best of her life
♥ is resilient — bounces back
♥ nurtures herself
♥ can say no — sets limits
A Bloomer lifestyle is one which is
♦ balanced — work, play, rest/body, mind, soul
♦ active
♦ nutritionally sound
♦ fun — laugh, love, live, dance
To Bloom is to strive towards greatness. To Bloom is to flourish.
