Meet Our Experts
We all want to look our best, feel our best and get the most out of life. As time passes, this can become more difficult since we live in a culture that focuses most of its attention on our youth. At ReZoom.com, we have gathered a team of trailblazing experts, who in their respective fields, are redefining what it means to be past 40. They keep us informed and up-to-date with insightful advice based on their own experience and knowledge. At last, those in the center of their lives have a place to call home.
Daina Hulet
As a former runway model and West Coast Editor of "Glamour" magazine, Daina Hulet was well versed in knowing how to look her best. But after turning 40, she began to realize that what she had learned about staying stylish was no longer applicable for either her or her friends. She was no longer getting compliments about how she looked.
Disturbed that the fashion world and media were ignoring women and men past a certain age, Hulet resolved to create a new strategy for how to stay chic in the second half of life.
As our "Looking Good Expert," she provides advice filtered through the insight that grown-up style is as much about feeling comfortable in one's skin as it is looking great in our clothes.
