This is just one of many lessons she's learned in 29 years of being in thewellness business. "As I enter my 60s I find myself wanting to inspire and teach what I have learned along theway, not only tomy age group but to the younger generation as well," says Bland. "As I move forward with this new chapter I will continue to explore health, fit- ness, nutrition and lifestyle so thatwe canachievebeauty from the insideout."Bland's philosophy for healthy skin is to prevent, maintain and reverse, so women can feel their best every day. She takes care of her skin and wellbeing using treatments and products that are based on natural healingwith non-toxic ingredients. For Bland, women can better take care of those we love by ensuring our own health is in check. She sees this as a personal responsibility to learn, share, and indulge in a healthy lifestyle. "Maybe one day I will be considered an anti-age specialist, that'smy goal," she says. Just likemany women all over the world, Bland strives to achieve her per- sonal and professional goals every day.
