Aging Gracefully, are you? And exactly what does that mean to you?

how may of you dye your hair? Do you need to? I am a few years from 40 still but do have some and wonder if I should.

I'd like to know when other moms decided, if you decided, to dye your hair? At which point did you say "OK, enough is enough now." and go get it done or take care of it yourself?

Other times, I realize life is changing and moving and I can not stop that fact.

How did your mind catch up to the point of what your body is doing? Or has it? Do you even care? What's its value?

What bath products do you use? Have you decided you need makeup or coverup more now or less so? What have you discovered to be amazing bath and "beauty" products?

Also, would you consider plastic surgery (money being a non-issue)? And what would you do?

Hello Aging Gracefully

I am 31 and have 1 son and we are trying for more.
I started coloring my hair at age 13 cause mom did it, Now since my wedding oct 2006 I have not colored my hair I have a natural color OMG... But I also have Gray coming in I think its from the Husband truly. I use to color it my self and when i could indulge I went to a saloon.
I a have always been a heavy girl never below a size 14, now at my heavest I have ever been. and truly depressed about it. We can't afford and equipment and the gym is out of the question so I walk the neighborhood.

I feel alot older than I am but that could be because of lack sleep. and my bra size is off the charts nothing fits. And none of my clothing fits I just purged my closet and Cryed. (anyone looking for sizes 14 to 18 let me know)
Does it get any better?

I think I will start Dyeing my hair next year and the working out thing is just needing motivation.
My sister In Law just had a Boob reduction and tummy tuck age 35 and done having kids. 2 liters of fat removed from the tummy alone and she is not a heavy girl.

Make up What is that I Only where it to Church just foundation eyliner and Lipstick till it wears off My husband calls it clown make up says I do not need it.

I hope and pray One day I will like my Body again. Where did it go????!!!!!

Hi

Iam final yr engg student, i am going to participate hair style fashion show but mine is bald head. So i want to use hair extension wigs.. Can any one give me an idea?

i'm far from a beauty queen my self. hahaha. i don't think i have ever worn makeup. i guess i'm just not the girly type. i've always had my hair long. i did cut it short twice and donated it to locks of love. but i keep it mostley in a pony tail. and i think i have only ever dyed it twice. i tryed to do red but my hair really didn't take to red. as for working out i really don't but i should. my daughter loves to march around the house and dance so i do things like that with her. soup cans are a good on hand weights for beginners that don't have the money for real weights. or other things around the house work good too. a couple times a year i really feel like working out so i got an arobic step and it's fun instead of sitting around just to step up on that for a bit inbetween things your doing. or hand mow the lawn also works good for 1 day a week. and it's sad to say i haven't dressed up since i quit my job almost 3 years ago. i'm a jeans and tee girl.
as for plastic surgery if i had unlimted funds. maybe after i was sure i was done having kids. i think i would like a nice flat tummy. and thinner thighs. lol this is fun!!!! it makes you really think.

I color my hair every once in a while, but not because of grey. I just like a change of pace.

My body? I love my body. After a total of five live births, I am lucky I have one at all. Sure, I have a few stretch marks, but don't we all? One thing that I love about getting older is that my breasts have shrunk. WooooWhooo! (I had a D cup by the age of 14). I eat well balanced meals and lots of fresh fruit and veggies. I watch my cholesterol. I always park far from the store, take the stairs, and anything else I can do to keep myself moving.

Make up makes me look old. I use a daily moisturizer w/ sunscreen, a little mascara and a touch of lip-gloss. My hair is cropped short and has been for years. It fits me and makes me feel very feminine.

It may have taken me 42 years, but I like myself; top to bottom.

Come on people! I need help aging gracefully! Isn't there anyone with some tips? Oh, I get it, you don't want to share!!??!!
