This beautiful woman
is 92

No one likes growing older except kids, but what do they know?! But life does exist after 50 and, in fact, the best years may still be in the future. With the right frame of mind (and a killer moisturizer....), older doesn't have to mean 'old.'

~Take care of the skin~~

Run over to your local CVS and get any moisturizer by a company called Lierac - the stuff is like crack!  A jar might set you back $60 or so but it's amazing stuff. Everything this company makes is fabulous. You'll see changes to your skin tone in as little as a week.

~Laugh at yourself (and, well others too!)~

Take every opportunity to laugh, even if it's at yourself. Everyone loves a good, hearty belly laugh. Rent a comedy or occupy some down time by reading a funny book - Erma Bombeck comes to mind, or, even better, buy the Sweet Potato Queens Big Ass Cookbook (and financial planner). Now, THEY'RE funny! You just might want to join the Sweet Potato Queen Parade next year in Jackson, Mississippi.

~Dress appropriately~

Women particularly - listen up! Even gorgeous older women can't necessarily pull off the fashions of the young. Wearing clothes that are to young for you only age you. Pick styles that complement your attitude and body style. There's no need to dress dowdy but short short skirts over 50 are not necessarily a pretty thing.

~Pamper yourself~

You're older now, you deserve to spend a little money on the finer things in life. Go get a manicure/pedicure every other week. Get that massage in while you're at it. And, who doesn't love a facial?

Just because you're aging doesn't mean that you have to be old!
