Labor Day's Quick Tips 4 U

Health:

Make a list of everything you know that promotes good health. (Read some of these earlier tips to help you.) Put a check mark next to any you do regularly. Circle any that you don't do very often. Put an X next to any you never do. Now spend a day or two thinking about what you don't do to be healthier and ask yourself why!



Wealth

Experts say you should save 10% of all your income regularly. Have that amount deducted from your checking account and put into a savings or investment account. When you get more income, increase the amount transferred. After a few months you won't notice the decrease in spendable income.

Diet:

Start your meal with a salad. Keep salad fixings crisping in the frig. Add a low fat dressing or use a little bit of olive oil and lemon juice and fresh herbs. Drink a glass of vegetable juice with the salad and you will have healthfully cut your appetite, and increased your servings of vegetables.  Yeah You.

Fashion and Style:

Wearing clothes too big will make you look bigger. A belt or scarf hanging down toward your legs will make them look longer. A solid color outfit is slimming.


Exercise:

Don't have time for a full workout? Incorporate it in your day. Stretch when dressing; squat when picking something up off the floor; reach for the ceiling anytime you are waiting; swing your arms when walking; commit to working out no matter how much time you have.

Beauty:No time for makeup. Tint your moisturizer with your foundation and smooth on. While waiting for it to dry, put on two coats of lipstick, touch your lips with clean fingers and blot on cheeks for blush. Sweep eyes with shadow and put on two coats of mascara. You are on your way and looking good.





Spirit:Make it a habit to congratulate yourself for making the effort to be the best you can be. Even if you don't feel you've done your best, congratulate yourself anyway and soon, very soon you'll be doing your best every day.

Beauty Trends - Quick Tips

Since letting my hair go to it's natural shade of gray, I needed to change my makeup.  Being on a make up budget, I started searching web sites to get the latest trends in make up.  I wanted what is today's best colors and buys.  I want to be up to date, not out of date.

Searching the web, I found that red lipstick is still in style but it is glossier and the perfect, in my budget lip color is COVERGIRL Lip Perfection Lipstick - Fairytale .  It has  a beautiful, rich color, with a smooth moisture base that keeps lips soft and silky.

Eye makeup is still in the 'cat's eye' style that seems to have been around since Cleopatra days.  At my age, softer is better.  Instead of black eyeliner, one of the articles I read suggested I use a softer gray.
I found one in a steel gray at my local drugstore cosmetic counter.  It's from Maybelline.



Soft, peachy with bronze cheeks is the trend right now, according to articles I read on several web sites I visited. Back at the drugstore, I liked the warm sunny glow of Neutrogena Natural Radiance - also available on Amazon.

Finally, as an older woman with drying skin, I looked for a moisturizer from a brand name I have used before and who's quality of ingredients I could depend on to be pure.  I've long been a Neutorgena user and so I went for Neutrogena Rapid Wrinkle Repair   I've only been using it a little while but I love the creamy smoothness of it when I use just a tiny bit after cleansing my face.

And of course I don't need to remind any Baby Boomers and beyond, less is always best.
