National Gorgeous Grandma Day
July 23, Wednesday
The holiday aims to change the perception of aging and show that life after retirement does not end, but can be rich, beautiful, and inspiring.
History of the holiday:
The holiday was initiated by author Alice Solomon, who, after receiving her degree at the age of 50 in 1984, wanted to show that maturity is a time of new opportunities. She coined the term "gorgeous grandma" to rethink society's views on older women.
How it is celebrated:
The holiday can be celebrated in various ways:
* Congratulate your grandmother and spend time with her.
* Share photos of your grandmothers on social media with stories about their beauty and achievements.
* Organize a photo session or festive event for grandmothers.
* Give a gift or plan a surprise to show love and respect.
* Support older women in their hobbies and new beginnings.
Interesting fact:
The concept of the "gorgeous grandma" is becoming increasingly popular: fashion agencies, bloggers, brands, and even runways are showing that beauty and charisma do not depend on age.
