An Often Overlooked Art Form

Posted on by Professor Over 50

Your Creativity

Being over 50 years of age can be a very creative time in your life as seen on the Platinum Pias website featuring the Stamas Bros as well as on the Stamas Bros site itself . Hopefully at this stage you do not have as many stressors to deal with as before, and now you can focus on your favorite art form. This could be performing or visual arts or even creating websites! That’s right, either planning or making websites can be very creative.

What Makes You Laugh?!

Case in point is the Stamas Bros website. The brainchild of two brothers who are over 50, it is an offbeat look at life after 50. Not every episode follows this theme, but the most recent one does as seen here. Be warned that this site is only for those with unusual and even “weird” senses of humour.

Ever Evolving

A website can be a great way to organize your thoughts and create your “own world” online. A fun aspect about websites is that you can continue to grow them over the years. They can be ever evolving and reflective of what you’re interested in or your small business that you have started in your second act.

DIYdigi

Have you always known you were creative but never quite had the forum in which to explore this? Websites in and of themselves can be a creative art form. As your site evolves so can your number of visitors if you employ digital or online marketing. There are a lot of DIYdigi (Do It Yourself DIGItal) approaches available which you can find if you look for them.

Develop Your Own Site?

And because of the ever expanding options for creating a website it is very doable to implement yours by yourself. Some people, especially those who are somewhat technical when it comes to computers, prefer to develop their own site. The Stamas Bros created their website and help others with theirs, such as the earlier mentioned Platinum PIAs.

Build Your Audience

While others still opt for having the website and the marketing done for them by organizations such as NYC Create. Having professionals do your site is especially important if you have a business and are using your website to build an audience.

Technical Difficulties?

Regardless of what direction you plan to go when creating your site, remember to have fun doing it. Sometimes technical challenges come into play, even with professionals. But if you persist and try to think outside of the box, a solution is just a creative thought away.

The Fountain of Youth?

The Best Bath Ever?

The fountain of youth is not a new idea. In fact, it has been around for thousands of years across the globe. What is the fountain of youth? It is a spring that allegedly restores youth to anyone who bathes in it. One of the nominees of the Platinum PIAs Awards several years ago claimed to know where to fountain could be found! Pop culture un-icons the Stamas Bros recently did a post on eternal youth and 15 year old gurus.

Would You Travel to Bimini?

The legend attains a more visible state in the 16th century when being recounted by a Spanish explorer named Juan Ponce de León. He was searching the world for the Fountain of Youth and found himself landing in 1513 on what is now known as Florida. The legend goes on further that Ponce de León was informed by Native Americans that the Fountain of Youth was in Bimini.

The Getting Old Resistance

And the search for the Fountain of Youth continues to the current day and has sprung several industries all intertwined around the idea of anti aging. It seems that there are many people who are resisting growing old for as long as they are able to including the Stamas Bros.

Is Lifestyle the Solution?

There are myriad miracle creams and other cosmetic articles as well as books on the topic claiming that you can stay young based on what you eat and your lifestyle in general.

Plastic Surgery Anyone?

The staff of Over50USA.com are united in their perspective on aging which they say is more mental than external physical. Members of Over50USA believe that how you think about aging can help growing old be easier. As your body changes and your skin wrinkles some will run to the plastic surgeon. Ironically, another nominee of the Platinum PIAs Awards was a plastic surgeon!

Plastic Surgery is Not Invisible

The only problem with looking to a doctor who specializes in plastic surgery as your solution, is that for the most part plastic surgery is easily recognized. Someone’s skin can seem strangely smooth, the eyes seeming strangely stretched and so on.

What is the Secret

So instead of spending lots of money on trying to surgically attaining a so-called look of youth, Over50USA recommends that you start with your outlook as well as your diet. These two things are a natural way of at the very least keeping your attitude more upbeat and we believe that indeed this is the greatest secret to staying young or even aging gracefully.
