Living the Luxurious Lifestyle - 20 Activities for Women Over 60 Who Live Alone

I am divorced and married 15 years ( 3x),love my life and living alone but don't have close friends to hang out with I'm blessed!!

Thank you Maggie!

Plants! Aquariums!

What kind of community is good for a 68 yr single. Been in a small town all my life but no longer happy. Introvert, not many friends anymore. They got themselves a man. I was surprised. Son lives far away.. no grandchildren. Looking for a supportive community, like minded people.

I live alone & cherish the solitude. I find it important to chose my outfit carefully when I know I'm home for the day, as well as do a little something with my hair. This may sound silly, but one thing I do to give myself a lift is to keep a lipstick in the bathroom & refresh it every time I'm in there. It's fun to chose a color for the day & sit it on the counter. 🙂

This necklace you are wearing is very lovely on you, the color is perfect. I make necklaces and i am very aware of this. And I wear BIG ones all the time, with my linen dresses.I became a widow after 44 years of marriage, three months ago. It’s very hard to be alone…..

I love your videos, but i actually have to hold speaker in my hand about 6” from my face to hear you, will you see if you can help on your end. thanks friend!

Margaret, where do you get your dresses? I want to wear some too, but am having trouble finding them!

I think your life is sad and maybe you should make up with your family. I found it heart wrenching when you were alone for your operation.

Your chats are such a comfort. I live alone after an unexpected later in life divorce at 61 (68 now) and have been following you since then. It took many years to recapture my former self, as I was crushed beyond belief, but your support and kind words have been instrumental in moving to a place where I can say "I love my life". I take pleasure in the smallest of activities, such as sitting outside and watching fireflies, or enjoying coffee in bed whenever I want...listening to music I love whether it's classical or k-pop! You are a friend to all of us who tune in and I thank you for everything you do on your channel.

Im 62 live alone and absolutely loving it!!

I married at 22, had 2 children by 24, then marriage ended. Suddenly I felt alive and happy again. Had another child at 41 from a long relationship. I had many offers of marriage but decided I loved my freedom and preferred being a lone parent as children were FUN. Started my own business working from home, buying and doing up property. Making my own money added to my sense of freedom. Now at 86 I have 5 grandchildren and 2 greats! I am truly truly happy and love my life, love my family, love my friends. The only downside of old age is losing friends, one by one. But making new friends of all ages from 40s to 90s keeps me living in the moment. Also having money to spend entertaining and spoiling loved ones gives me so much pleasure. Last but not least, the companionship of my little dog is the icing on the cake!

Thank you for featuring Embryolisse. I’m on my second tube of the face cream love the smell and the luxuriousness for a pamper but I’m thrifty and always conscious of the price. I haven’t seen the lotion locally but will be looking! You always have something for others to gleam!

Great video dear Margaret ❤ I am struggling with melancholy at 65 and dealing with a very tumultuous marriage of 43 years. So much to decide it's scary and I am trying to take it one day at a time. So glad you are recovered from your surgery ❤

Thank you, Margaret!! One thing I did, that really helps is pack away my dishes, and only leave out two sets so that my sink doesn’t get too full!! I have a very small sink and it was getting way too full because it’s much too easy to grab a new dish but now I just wash as I go and I’m much happier. :-) And I can easily unpack more dishes if I need them.

I have lived alone most of my life (never married) I'm almost 63. I work part time. I get a little lonely sometimes but I go work, church and take a long drive once a week with a friend. I'm much happier and calmer since I stopped dating. It's been almost 4 years. I enjoy my craft hobbies and my bad cat to talk to and take care of. I'm starting to declutter and downsize so I can move to cheaper probably smaller apartment or small house. Anybody out there who wants a "pen pal"?

Why always ‘we’ ?

I grateful for the life God has allowed me to have and experience, there’s some challenging days, however I just work through them.

Thanks Margaret ❤
You are really gorgeous.

Thank you great suggestions!

I adore you . Wish I could meet you

Ive been on my own for 40 years Thats if the house is pay off You must have heaps money in your Super to survive I live simple life l dont travel Its easy when you have money to support yourself But what about those that dont

The luxurious life presumes a clean and orderly home. Start and end every day with a few routines that keep a home fresh and presentable. 1) Make the bed -- yes, the bed with the glorious mattress kind to degenerative discs, with its crisp white linens 2) feed the cats and clean the box 3) Swiffer and vacuum all floors and upholstery. 4) put the clean dishes from the dishwasher away 4) Make coffee. In the evening, make sure the kitchen is immaculate and the dishwasher running. Obviously other things arise, such as laundry - sheets and towels at least weekly. Bathroom hand towels should be refreshed every day. Just say "no!" to paper piles. Cleanliness is self care. Life is graceful in a clean house. PS: wear your glasses when you vacuum.

Im only 52 but i love living alone

I love this

Everything you say is everything I believe .
I try to keep myself happy😊

Thank you for such great ideas. Self care is so important. I personally have experienced many changes over the past few years.

My creative has been rebirthed in a way I never expected. I love it!

I love your videos! Thank you for being so uplifting and inspirational. Can you do a video on how to do something like taking a vacation by yourself for the first time? I am divorced for 4 years and I have a beautiful home of my own. I love being single at 60 and don't want to date at this point. But, I have no one to do things with. How do you make the leap from having a spouse to organize and plan the outings/vacations and following along, to having to do it all by myself vs staying home cleaning, and watching tv?
I'm sad and starting to feel lonely. I want to enjoy my life and learn to do things by myself but I feel stuck and afraid. Any advice? Thank you, Kelley

I loved listening to all your great ideas - I do many. I absolutely love living alone. I love my freedom. My special place is my bedroom. Summertime I enjoy planting my flowers and veggies. Many flowers around the house and on the deck. I love picking the fresh vegetables. The pool opens and I’m thrilled to have people over to enjoy the pool with Lucy or dinner using the vegetables I have planted. My kids help with the heavy things. Love my single life , family and friends. Thank you for your post 🤗

Pilates is better for older women than yoga

❤some nice little ideas. Great video

I now love gardening. I don’t need to buy flowers. I just get them from my garden.

Most women are happy living alone, if they have been freed from an unhappy marriage or circumstances. Many of us are NOT happy to be left alone

I do some of your fun suggestions although I don't live alone. My husband is in his office all day and I in mine. But when he's away I have fun. Loud music, dance, sing, watch Netflix and crochet. Next time I'll go to a museum in a dress😄

Thanks Margaret! Buying myself flowers has been a favorite 😍

Thanks for the encouragement, Margaret!

Thank you! Great ideas!

Yes millionaires pay the same price for littlecluxuries so don't deprive yourself of these things

If I lived in an opulent home, I'd feel I was living someone else's life. Simple, minimal, functional is luxurious.

Thank you for your wonderful vloggs they really help ❤

After 25 yrs of marriage I must admit it took me a while to adjust but now I like living alone , maybe would like a companion but certainly don t want to live with a man .. Happy doing my own thing and not having to answer to anyone , thankfully I have good friends and family around me and I can go visit my son in USA whenever I want to …

Love this video!

Thanks for this video. I’ve been on my own since 2012 after a divorce.

I love my space. In 2000 I purchased a Bucket List item of a Windsor wing back chair. It’s my “ comfort “ zone for relaxing and reading.

Monday nights are my Spa time… a Epsom salt, Lavender oil and Baking Soda soak in a tub of warm water.

It’s freeing to be able to decorate as I want.

I love not answering to anyone when I want to go out to exercise, seeing friends, or whatever I want to do.

In August 2021 I downsized to a small townhouse so in consideration of close neighbors I choose not to have guests over for lengthy visits.

I’m taking classes at the local Community Center that my insurance covers the fees.

At age 70, this week I start taking swim lessons… another Bucket List item since childhood.

Next is Bungee Jumping lessons.

I encourage everyone to keep learning new skills.

When I was 19 I started traveling extensively for work. I started collecting postcards, matchbooks and state spoons.
I also love maps.

I have a few small pots of plants and vegetables. I gain So much relaxation in seeing seeds become a beautiful plant and producing beautiful flowers and vegetables.

I’m interested in a movie night.

Hugs and Much Love from Arkansas. ❤️

It's interesting that when you live alone, you are happy in yourself & always looking forward for new achievements in one way or the other. If you are spiritual also that is fantastic. However, people keep on reminding you that you are alone, perhaps in jealousy, because then they see you problem free & not compromising. It also happens when people try to escape from their own real problems & forgetting to mind their own business

❤ precious

Have lived essentially alone for the last 40 years. I cant imagine living any other way.
