A is for Anti-Aging — It’s not All About Attitude

What makes a naturally beautiful woman of any age look, feel and act younger?  It’s all about attitude!  Yes, what’s inside your mind, body and soul are what make you vibrant, alive, sexy and youthful.  And a little help with the outside doesn’t hurt either!

Having an open mind keeps your whole body active and healthy.  One of the best ways you can improve your anti-aging ability is to change your attitude and stop acting and behaving like an old fuddy duddy!  Smile – you’ll look younger (and you’ll feel a lot better too!). Get some sleep because without enough sleep, you’re tired all day which makes the body produce excess cortisol, a hormone that disintegrates skin cells.  See Previous Post – S is for Sleep – Some Timely Tips for Sound Snoozing).

Here are some outward tell-tale signs of looking old:

Granny pants up around your waist or jeans that don’t fit and make muffin tops -

Wearing the wrong size bra – Back fat and saggy breasts or uniboobs – get a good fitting and get those girls up high and perky

Wearing clothes from Forever 21 when you’re forever 65.  Too much skin exposed, too tight or too short skirts, or too much cleavage hanging out – you’re not Britney Spears, you know!

Too much bling-y jewelry, too much jewelry of any kind – especially jewelry that doesn’t flatter your neck – Wattle necks are for turkeys, not NBW!  Wear some beautiful earrings that draw attention to your eyes and keep those chokers away from the wattle.

The little mistakes that we think people don’t notice – Long red nails or chipped and  discolored nails, roots showing or ashy-looking gray hair, teeth that are yellowing, cakey foundation that stops at your neck.  Lipstick spots on your teeth or lipstick bleeding onto the lines on your face.  All of these can be taken care of if we look into the mirror and pay attention.

What makes you look old is looking like you really tried too hard or else looking like you never tried at all.

What makes you look, act and feel young is what we’re all about here at Naturally Beautiful Women.  We’re back to the beginning with “A” again and we’ll be telling you all sorts of tips to live the best possible life you can – looking good, feeling healthy, being happy, staying motivated, and just plain enjoying life!

Y is for You and Youth

“Youth is a wonderful thing.  What a crime to waste it on children.” George Bernard Shaw.

So maybe you’ve got a little silver on your head and a few wrinkles on your face, but when you get up in the morning you still feel like you’re only twenty-one.  Join the crowd!  We naturally beautiful and healthy senior women keep looking youthful for longer and longer.  But, we still feel tortured and put upon by the commercials and ads that play into the youthful culture and say that beauty is in the face of youth and once you’re old, you’re done.

But think about those wrinkles and how you got them.  Life hands you a lot — and the longer you live, the more time we experience the pull of gravity.  That’s got nothing to do with “ugly.”  Quite the contrary, it’s a beautiful sign of having loved, served, lived; of having all kinds of experiences, good and bad.

Young people are in for some great big surprises as they live their lives.  Remember when you danced naked and wildly at Woodstock with flowers in your hair?  Remember how we thought this was the best time of our lives, and it would never get better?  Would you really want to turn back the clock?  Would you want to have to be young and have to start all over again?  Think about that.  Aren’t a few wrinkles and a few gray hairs worth it?

We grow wise and we grow older.  We get more hair on our faces and less hair in other places.  Now the only time you see 3 AM is when you can’t get to sleep.  You’d dance all night, but your feet hurt and your back aches.  You can go without sex, but not without your reading glasses.  Your favorite song is now playing in elevators.

You can’t stop the clock, but you can change your attitude.  As Bette Davis said, “Old age ain’t no place for sissies!”
