The Grand Dame

In everyone’s life there is one special person who motivates and encourages and respects your life choices. Sometimes this person is not recognized until you are ready to open your eyes…

Our GrandDame lives on the other side of the world in Auckland, New Zealand, at 88 years young she continues to amaze us with her energy and humor. Her ability to laugh and make us laugh is a gift. She has been a sailor, a painter, a great gardener and an even better cook.

She taught us that age and time are our own self-imposed limits and barriers.

She named this company “SmartDames”.

So to all women reading this who doubt their own ability to succeed, get your attitude out of the closet! It’s time to surround yourself with like-minded women, to show that hidden strength and determination to blast the losers and critics out of your life and get on with life!! And most importantly, it’s time to be proud to be a woman! We are.
