IT ONLY TAKES MINUTES, BUT IT CHANGED MY LIFE. CAN IT CHANGE YOURS TOO?

By Elizabeth

It's so easy.

Every night before I go to bed, I take out a pen and paper and I write down three things I felt grateful for that day.

Like doing sit-ups or eating healthy food, while I’m actually engaged in this activity, I barely notice its value. In fact, it sometimes seems silly.

I mean, really, how can jotting down how much I love my dogs, night after night, change anything in my actual life?

But somehow, it does.

If I’m consistent, this habit revolutionizes my sense of connection to the world around me.

It deepens the pleasure in simply living.

And it diminishes my desire to grasp for happiness outside of my daily experience.

Yes, I’m talking about online shopping!

But I’m also talking about spending the present moment worrying about the future.

All of those urges quiet down.

When I make these small notes regarding small moments of gratitude, the impact is huge.

If you’re interested in this practice, give it a try! All you need is a few spare minutes, a pen and paper and the ability to walk yourself through your last 24 hours.

What felt good? What felt warm? What brought that feeling of presence and grounded joy?

I aim for three moments of gratitude but I don’t insist on it.

Sometimes there are more, sometimes less. It’s the time spent feeling into that space that matters.

The key is not to panic if what you write down feels, well, mundane. Or hedonistic. Or frivolous.

Being grateful for chocolate counts!

And definitely don’t get discouraged if you don’t notice a dramatic change right away.

Gratitude practice is, like so many routines, about consistency.

Studies have shown that those who engage in gratitude writing report improved mental outlook, but not until approximately four weeks after beginning the practice.

After 12 weeks, the impact increases exponentially.

Simply putting your attention on gratitude, over time, has the power to profoundly affect the way you see the world.

You just have to stick with it.

I have noticed this in my own life.

When I am consistent about my gratitude practice, my world opens up. I see beauty more easily and I move with more grace through my day.

Invitations to lean towards negativity feel less alluring. I more naturally find myself in a state of grounded connectedness even while, say, going to the post office or driving in rush-hour traffic.

It’s as if a positivity buffer surrounds me. When I’m not consistent, that buffer diminishes. But I can always get it back!

And that’s a good feeling, too—just knowing that even when I have fallen off the gratitude wagon, all it takes is a few simple moments with my own mind, every day, to reclaim that sense of ease in the world.

Is there a woman who hasn’t dabbed a little lipstick on her cheeks for a quick touch-up?

The whole idea behind BOOM! is less is more. Women shouldn’t have to use dozens of different makeup products—especially in their 50s, 60s, 70s, and beyond.

You should be able to simplify your makeup routine, paring down to just a few items that bring out your best. That's why our late founder, Cindy Joseph, originally created Boomstick Trio®. These three compact, creamy cosmetic sticks were designed to simplify, replacing many of those products in your makeup bag.

BOOM! is the sound of a revolution in cosmetics. While other skincare and makeup companies carry “anti-aging” products, BOOM! is the only company that is “PRO-AGE.” And we are not the only ones who think age is beautiful.

Our late founder, Cindy Joseph, spent 27 years as a makeup artist. With her unique insight into bringing out women's beauty (at EVERY age), she created our original Boom cosmetics and skincare line. "As women age, looking fresh rather than made up is the key," Cindy said.

“The biggest makeup mistake that middle-aged women make is putting on too much under-eye concealer,” Cindy said. “At home, it might look okay, but in the daylight, it just looks like a bunch of gunk under your eyes. The older you get, the less makeup you should wear. It’s not a blank canvas anymore.

 Cindy Joseph

Long before Cindy founded BOOM!, she had two very successful careers—first as a makeup artist, and then as a silver-haired supermodel.

Cindy began her career as a makeup artist in late-1970s San Francisco. Working for Macy's, Esprit and others, she pioneered the "natural look" with her models—which later became the inspiration for Boom cosmetics.

Soon after Cindy let her silver hair grow in, she was spotted on a New York sidewalk by fashion photographer Steven Meisel's scout. At 49, she began her second career as a silver-haired supermodel. During the next two decades, she was featured in ads for Dolce & Gabbana, DKNY, Olay, Nivea, L.L. Bean, Target and more.

Having spent nearly three decades as a makeup artist and another two as a supermodel, Cindy decided—in her early 60s—to go into the cosmetics business herself. She wanted to design a line of cosmetics that was all about revealing, embracing and celebrating women's natural beauty at every age. We are proud to say that she succeeded...and BOOM! was born. Today, Boomstick Trio is still our customer favorite, creating the dewy natural look ideal for all skin types and tones at all ages.

Cindy's legacy lives on in all of us here at BOOM!, as well as hundreds of thousands of women worldwide who resonate with her pro-age philosophy.

“By far this is the best ‘make-up’ for women over 40. I feel the need to brighten up just a little. Time is showing on my face, which is beautiful, but a splash of Boom is the perfect accompaniment of a wonderful life.” — Susan
