Gail is a native New Yorker who has been living in the Valley of the Sun for over 30 years and now considers herself a native Arizonan! With a Bachelors Degree in Fashion Marketing from the University of Massachusetts at Amherst, she has more than 30 years experience in the fashion industry including teaching fashion merchandising at a local Arizona Community College & over 12 years experience both owning & managing two model and talent agencies in Scottsdale. Gail is also a nationally published writer, and while her two sons were young, she was a regular featured contributor for both local as well as national home decorating & interior design magazines. She also authored a diy paint technique book (‘50 Ways To Paint A Wall’, Creative Publishing International).

Recently she decided to combine both her love of fashion and beauty with her passion for writing by embarking on a blogging journey. Blogging on the social media platforms took off quickly as well as her list of growing business partners. A professional website became a ‘must’.! Embracing her ‘over 50’ age, it was a logical ‘fit’ to combine Gail’s love for fashion, skincare & makeup with an ‘ageless’ forum for tips, inspiration and savings of quality fashion, beauty & lifestyle; hence ‘Life Begins After 50’ was born! We hope you love our ideas, tips, inspiration and products as much as we love bringing them to you!!
