What's best about 50+ & the Best of Everything 50+

What's Best About Being 50+ - read on...

Know what?  It's having time to think about you. Seriously friends, you wouldn't be reading this, knowing it is about style, if you weren't interested in all things to do with image.  After all, fashion, beauty product, hair styling, grooming, self improvement are all about how we portray ourselves in our everyday lives.  And, I believe inside every woman is a small girl looking forward to playing dressups and trying out new personas. So start playing and looking forward.

Now that we have reached this age, there is really no excuse not to continually improve or maintain a certain style.  If your 30's and 40's were anything like mine, there simply wasn't time to learn tips on styling or to perfect one's wardrobe.  Lack of time, not just a constrained budget was the real restraint. But now, without the constant striving towards simply doing required tasks to complete each day, we can spend time on ourselves.  Recently I read one style columnist, Cynthis Nellis, of 'Style Goes Strong' say "I am always amazed by middle-aged women who brag that they are too old to be trendy or follow fashion. I mean, like that’s a good thing?".  And she goes on to explain that to stay relevant with style there has to be an amount of what is in fashion in your wardrobe.  And I guess that means not just giving up and wearing only classic clothes or only what is comfortable.

In this article I have put together a few relevant articles that I hope you will find interesting to help you to find your style and make use of the best of what is out there.

THE BEST CONTACT LENSES
Just in the course of this week, I found the best possible daily contact lenses.  For those days when you want a clear 8 hours glasses free.  First you will need the advice of a great optometrist to find your prescription but if you would consider contact lenses then try Acuvue Tru Eyes.  They are a silicone based product and are very acceptable if you have dry eyes.  Take the time to get the advice and trial before you buy.  If you want to look fabulous for an occasion, these are the answer.

FINDING THE BEST MAKEUP FOR YOU
Believe me, there are wonderful women out there in the department stores or makeup counters everywhere who can make you look fabulous.  I am so tired of makeup mistakes that I spent an hour with a brilliant woman who started from scratch with a primer right through to the best eye colours.  A true expert at keeping makeup natural looking which is what we need as mid lifers.  I couldn't believe the differene eye primer or a skin flash pen would make.  And, I didn't even know they existed until she showed me.  Anyway, I am going to give her a plug as she was brilliant.  Thankyou Stacey on the Dior counter at Smith & Caughey's Newmarket.  Find a Stacey - it's worth it as doing the exercise will save you both time and money.  Some of my best finds are available here
