At 40, Oksana Pikul is not just celebrating a birthday; she's proclaiming it the ultimate "gazas" โ the peak of one's life. In a candid reflection, Pikul dismisses any desire to return to her 20s or 30s, offering a powerful message to younger women: the years leading up to 40 are crucial for building a foundation of education, career, and personal goals.
I wouldn't want to go back to 20 or 30. I have to tell you 30-year-olds good news. It is that if you work until 40, strive, finish your studies, get an education, pursue your goals, 40 is the ultimate 'gazas'. Our reproductive mechanism is also working perfectly. Perfectly. And we can have children, to your surprise. And we already have education, grown children, status, funds, experience at our age, we are even calmer in most situations, we know how to have fun incredibly well.
"40 is the ultimate 'gazas'," she declares, emphasizing that this age brings a unique blend of maturity, stability, and vitality. Pikul highlights that women at this stage often possess a refined sense of self, financial independence, and a greater capacity for enjoyment, challenging the notion that youth is the only time for vibrancy. She even boldly states that her appearance and figure are better now than at 18 or 20, attributing this to dedication and self-care.
Beyond her personal philosophy, Pikul's professional life is thriving. Her beauty business, "Groลพio namams," has seen remarkable financial growth. In 2022, the company reported substantial revenues and profits, which saw a significant increase by 2024. While 2025 showed a slight dip, the overall trajectory indicates a highly successful and expanding enterprise.
From 40 onwards, such 'gazas' begins, which I didn't feel at 20 and 30, girls, I didn't feel it. You just feel so mature and stable, so eager... My appearance and figure, for example, look better at 40 than when I was 18 or 20. Of course, all this takes time, care, and effort. But now, this age โ over 40, I want to stop it because it's damn good. Really very good.
Pikul's upcoming marriage to Dominykas Dirksฤius further adds to the narrative of a life lived fully and successfully. Her perspective from Lithuania is one that celebrates female empowerment, the value of experience, and the idea that life's best chapters can unfold well after youth, offering an inspiring counterpoint to societal pressures that often focus on a woman's diminishing value with age.
You feel stable, mature, you feel like you've been through and learned a lot, you know how to appreciate, how to choose, you are reproductive, powerful. Peach. A bomb.
