[quote=Anonymous]Just my humble opinion as a 55 year old woman.  I realized in my late 40s that I needed to make some changes.  I stopped coloring my hair.  I'm about 60% gray, but it looks really good.  It took a full year to get all the color out.  My stylist cut my hair into long layers so that awful color line wouldn't be so obvious.  She is is the one who talked me into trying allowing my hair to be natural.  And she was so right.  I get lots of compliments.

My hair isn't short.  I keep it just below my shoulders.  Any longer and I feel like it starts to drag my face down and it starts to look less healthy.  Short hair can look really harsh on older people.  I have a good friend who pulls it off beautifully, but most older woman cannot.  Longer hair adds softness.

I stopped wearing so much make up.  I wear Estee Lauder foundation, but I mix it with a little moisturizing cream.  It doesn't look cakey.  It just evens out some of the redness.  I am a huge fan of the BOOM Stick Trio.  I love the color.  I love the little bit of shine it gives my face.  I wear that with a little bit of mascara on the top lashes and that's it.  No eye shadow or eyeliner, ever.

I keep my body healthy.  I work out.  I eat a mostly healthy diet.  I drink lots of water.  I'm proud of my six pack abs and my lean, athletic body.  It's important to me to stay fit for as long as I can.  I really think being overweight ages women tremendously.

I have never and will never use botox.  It never looks good.  I have friends who regularly get botox.  I always tell them how great they look.  But it's a lie. They look awful.  All of them.  I love them.  I think they were so beautiful before botox.  I hate the way botox looks.  It definitley ages women.  But like too many other things, women have fallen into the trap of believing that aging is a bad thing.[/quote]
