Take a Hint

Some helpful hints:


1.  Use a scrub each time you shower – if you run out or don’t want to spend the extra change – use sugar.   Even if you don’t want to use it on your entire body – hit the heels, knees and elbows each time.


2.  When washing or moisturizing our face – always use an upward motion.  Imagine all the years of literally pulling your skin down if you don’t.


3.  When touching your eye area – use the ring finger.  It has the least amount of pressure – even more so than the pinky, believe it or not.


4.  Use a darker eye shadow with a bit of water and a skinny brush for an eye liner – instead of a liquid eye liner (God forbid) or a pencil.  At our age – the two latter choices are just a bit too harsh.


5.  Eat protein at every meal.  It’s more filling and builds muscle.


6.  Use weight resistance AND cardio to burn fat.  Once you turn some of that fat to muscle, the muscle continues to burn calories and metabolize even when you’re not working out.  Besides, variety keeps it interesting and you’re more likely to stick with a workout if you enjoy it.


7.  Sleep face up.  All those lines in your face and decollete that go away during the morning – find their way back years later if you continue to encourage them.


8.  Comb your hair IN the shower – or shortly afterwards, while it is still wet.  If  you wait until it’s dry, there will be many more tangles and breakage.  Buy the widest toothed comb you can find.


9.  Use taupe colored eyebrow pencil if you are light in complexion.  Your eyebrows do so much to frame your face, and as you age, they lose thickness (and arch) naturally, so may need to be redefined.


10.  FLIRT – it feels good and isn’t cheating.  LOL
