Blue Hare is an online lifestyle magazine for women over 60 and beyond. Our content is created and written by women over 60 (and beyond).

We believe women today have a world of opportunities.

When we left our careers in our 60s, we couldn’t find resources for women like us. Women who want to look and feel their best at every age, are curious about different places and cultures, who want to continue being valued for their contributions, and who are lifelong learners.

That’s why we created Blue Hare, an online magazine for women over 60.

Our team of writers and editors researches and writes articles on beauty, health, style, money, travel, living, learning, and food–all geared to Women over 60.

Our goal is for Blue Hare to be your go-to source of interesting topics and ideas to enrich your life.

Who we are

BLUE HARE was created by three women who met and worked together at a global professional services firm. Today we reside in the United States, Canada, and Greece. When travel is possible, you might find us anywhere in the world.

Verlee Prybyloski
Co-founder and Editor

When I was in my late teens, I thought the perfect career would be food editor for a travel magazine or travel editor for a food magazine. Instead, I became an art director and then a lawyer. Most of my career involved neither, but I was fortunate to travel regularly to Europe and elsewhere for the various positions I held over the years.

Aside from overseeing the overall operations at Blue Hare, I write many of the travel and 90 percent food articles here, which were born from my love of both. My heart’s desire is to inspire you to explore new destinations, whether it’s by visiting off-the-beaten-path places, learning about other cultures through their cuisines, or as an armchair traveler with piles of enticing books.

Clare Galloway
Co-founder and Beauty Editor

My fascination with beauty products began when I was little. I used to watch my mother do her hair and apply her makeup at a Georgian dressing table with an ornate mirror on a polished wooden stand. I was fascinated with the products and the technique.

My British schooling included an exchange trip to Paris to stay with a French schoolgirl and her family. They lived in a rambling apartment in the Bois de Boulogne. At the age of 13, I didn’t truly appreciate then what a wonderful introduction I was getting to the language, the city, and the culture. But I do remember being captivated by French women and their chic appearance.

I made up my mind then to learn all about makeup and skin care and really understand it. As a result, I don’t often fall for hype (although gorgeous packaging still makes me melt), and I understand what particular ingredients can and can’t do. That’s what I aim to share in Blue Hare’s beauty articles.

Cynthia Gelalich
Co-founder and Editor

I embrace the concept of lifelong learning.  Throughout my life, I have spent my energies seeking out the foreign and the romantic in literature, languages, and the arts. I studied Russian while lugging around a dog-eared copy of War and Peace. I moved on to study German, French, and Spanish. I finally settled on Greek, a rich and challenging language, as I’ve made my home outside Athens for some 10-plus years. Now that I’m “retired,” I have more time to explore the world through books and travel.

Certainly, the Greek balance between mind and body has been my life philosophy. Physically active and energetic, I love Zumba and yoga, and have recently taken up scuba. But I am first and foremost a mom. I couldn’t be prouder of my two children, Katrin and Andreas. After earning her bachelor’s degree in London, Katrin became a documentary filmmaker. Andreas graduated from university in 2024 and lives and works in Amsterdam.

I am grateful for the life I’ve been given and eagerly anticipate the experiences to come. I share my wellness and travel experience on the pages of Blue Hare.

About the name

In our mothers’ and grandmothers’ day, women over 60 were considered “old.” Their hair would turn gray, and they would use a blue rinse to mask any hints of yellow. While it worked, it often gave their hair a blue cast–hence the term “blue hair ladies.”

We’re the blue-haired ladies of today. But we’re more active, healthier, younger in spirit, and looking for new experiences. Blue Hare Magazine. We’re here to help.
