For Kids 59.99 & Over
You’re only as old as you feel. Right? Well, maybe. Because if you look in the mirror, it might make you feel older than you are! Carol Stanley, author of “For Kids 59.99 & Over,” says there’s a way to look in the mirror and feel great…as long as you do a few things to improve what you see!
Mirror Mirror on the wall…who’s the fairest boomer of them all?
As the years amble along, so does the body. Unfortunately it is mostly going south.
It is time to take a good look in the mirror (full length). If you are totally satisfied with what you see, you may stop reading this right now. But if you are like most of us baby boomers, our bodies and faces have a mind of their own.
This is not a dissertation on all the new methods of facial surgery and improvement. That’s because there are things you can start doing for yourself without the aid of a surgeon or dermatologist.
Check out your body. Do you wear the same size you’ve worn for the past ten years? Assuming of course you are satisfied with that size.
Diet is a bad word, one I personally detest. The minute I think diet… I want to eat. But start thinking about where you can pare off some calories. Eliminate your mocha java, sugar in your coffee, desserts, etc. You can actually change your eating habits where you almost won’t feel the pain. And your healthy and energetic side will thank you too!
For women, the hairdo is next. Have you been wearing long hair in a boring style since childhood? Long hair is great on the very young, but as the aging process sets in it may be time for a new and more upbeat hairdo.
Makeup: this too is for women only. Maybe you are wearing too much or too little. Drop in to your favorite department store. Those ladies behind the counters cannot wait to get their hands on your face and sell you a bunch of new makeup. So you can appease them by buying one or two products.
I know we all hate to pay retail. Evaluate your clothes and twirl all the way around as you look in your full length mirror. Do your clothes fit well? What about the color selection and how does it make your skin appear? True miniskirts and leisure suits are probably not appropriate… but it is all about how you look. You are the very best judge of this. Pick out clothes that make you feel good with lively colors that give you joy inside. Nothing is more beautiful than a confident person. This is a great beginning, and the cost is a whole lot less than drastic measures.
Facial exercises are great for both women and men. Easy to do and free after you purchase the video and instructions. The younger you start these exercises, the better the results. So, there are many small measures you can take to improve the way you look, and equally important, how you feel about the way you look!
