I have decided what Healthy Aging Project (HAP) that I want to participate in, Project L.C.S. (Living, Creating, and Striving), which was created to encourage a change in the way we view beauty standards for elders. This HAP project will be an event that will provide a space for elders to destress, relax, and feel confident about themselves. We envision a three-hour event where free haircuts and barbers, makeup makeovers, and massage services will be provided in a lower-income elder community. At the end of the event, there will be a fashion show and photoshoot where elders will be able to showcase their inner and outer beauty. In addition, they will be able to take home clothes and accessories, and a goody bag that contains hygiene and snack products. I am looking forward to the event, I hope we will be able to have the event. Hopefully, we will be able to have people who are willing to donate their services and supplies to help us make this event possible. This project is a rough outline for the event because we know and understand that there may limitations, but we are ready to make adjustments to ensure we output the best event we could for the elders. We just want this to be an event for the seniors, to look and feel their best. It is a way to change the stigma that surrounds beauty standards for elders. We need to learn and understand that aging is normal and is part of life.
