With plastic surgery promising to make people look 20 years younger and many women feeling pressure around aging (which is a completely natural process, might I add), it’s refreshing to celebrate those who embrace it with confidence.

Beauty is so much more than skin keeping its elasticity. It lies in your choices, the meaningful connections you make along the way, and the love you share with the world. To honor the power and grace of aging, let’s explore how women age around the world, captured by talented photographer Mihaela Noroc, the artist behind the photo project “The Atlas of Beauty”.

    She has a glint in her eye that makes me think she must have a good sense of humor. On a side note, that dress! I love it so much. I want that! All the way down to the comfy shoes. We should normalize (as the kids say) wearing dresses with comfy (aka good-for-you) shoes.

    I have a problem with these ladies being described as "elderly women". How old does one have to be to be elderly? These ladies are definitely not. They are beautiful older ladies who wear their life experience in their faces.
