Age Appropriate Cosmetics

Here's Your Healthy Tip of the Day:  Phyllis Diller was a professional clown; Liz Taylor never realized that she was off the 'Cleopatra' set.  Ladies, as we age, be aware of age-appropriate cosmetics.  Age gracefully and appropriately and transcend that to your cosmetics and hair...unless, of course, you want to look like a clown.   Here's a nice link for some sound beauty advice:

For Fun Today...Anyone Selling Avon Products?

This past weekend, I was on my motorcycle and was suddenly riding in a huge deluge of rain and wind.  I had just bought some fabulous MAC lengthening mascara - black of course and after less than 4 minutes in the rain, my face was streaked with black and I had to constantly blink my eyes from the mascara dripping into my eyeballs.  Not safe for riding a motorcycle and definitely not a good look when taking off the goggles.

Here's Your Healthy Tip of the Day:  In all the years I've trained and fought, I never did either without my mascara and lipstick.  Avon waterproof mascara was the best...never ran and pretty difficult to remove at the end of the day.  Ladies, if you're going out on a motorcycle, take my advice for safety and good looks....wear waterproof mascara.  If anyone out there has a better suggestion re:  brand of mascara that won't run and lengthens lashes....please share!  Otherwise, I'm off to purchase some Avon today!  Just one more tip they didn't tell us in motorcycle safety school.

Treat Yourself Today To Something Special

Yesterday, I took the day off to spend some time with a childhood friend.  For over 35 years, we've been through thick and thin, laughter, tears, adventures and misadventures.  Yesterday, we spent the day talking, having a nice lunch and best of all....shopping for cosmetics.  Oh...there's nothing like a new look and complete makeover.  It's fun, exciting and at the end of the adventure, you feel like a million dollars walking out of the shop with your bag of goodies. (o.k., some of you guys might not relate, but it IS a turn-on when your girl shows up looking like a different woman...let's be honest here).

Here's Your Healthy Tip of the Day:  Maintain those long-lasting relationships that continue to grow as you both become older.  Cherish the time you have with these special people; they are the people with whom you can share everything, without judgement.  They are the people in your life who will tell it to you straight...whether you like it or not...because they do it out of love for you.  They are the people who you will listen to and be there when they are down.  And while you're at it...treat yourselves to something special once in a while....a day at a spa, a ball game, a hunting trip, a new season's wardrobe.  You'll feel better about yourself and in the morning, you'll want to workout, be out and there will be a smile on your face.  And here's another great healthy tip....don't put the eyelash glue applicator in your mouth by accident...the glue doesn't taste very good and I don't think it has much nutritional value!
