Boom Ladies’ Night: Makeup, Menopause and Meditation

Boom Ladies’ Night is always inspirational.

This one is no exception.

Colleen hosted Boom Ambassadors Susan Kostrzeba, a 66-year-old speech-language-hearing pathologist, and Michelle Vina-Baltsas, a 54-year-old holistic life and intuitive-eating coach.

These fabulous ladies began and ended the evening with five-minute-makeup demos for day and night. In between, they chatted about menopause, meditation, what they wish someone had told them about being 50—and so much more.

Are you ready for some “me time?”
