If I can fix it, why shouldn't I?

When our children needed their teeth straighten we paid for the dentist, if they wanted the latest hair style, we paid for it, and if there was any other medical item they required, we made the sacrifice to help them. Now as women over 50 and wanting to look our best, if we can fix something on us, why shouldn't we?

First of all, I must say, you have to be happy with you and who you are. Nothing material will make you happy. For those of us who know that or have learned that, we are the lucky ones.

So for those of us who have something about us we want to fix, why shouldn’t we? Women over 50 today are redefining aging. I love it. I am doing my part with Bikinis and Bifocals, and our site www.bikinisandbifocals.com

So, why shouldn’t we now pay the price of a good hairstylist and get a hair style that is current instead of what we wore in the 70’s. It is amazing to me how many women my age won’t even do something so basic as this. Fix it, you can, so why shouldn’t you. I love it when people say, well, I don’t’ care, I don’t have to look at it, referring to hair, eye glasses etc. Well, you know what, I have to look at you/it and I don’t like ugly.

Come on ladies, if you can fix, why shouldn't you? There are some great books out now like “How Not to Look Old” and “redesigning 50”, to name a few. We have some books and other items listed on the site on this subject.

There was a time when I purchased most of my skin care at the grocery store. But now, I can afford the better items and I am worth it. I am worth a better hair stylist, etc. Define the style you are, i.e., classic, casual, romantic, etc and chart your course from there. Whatever it is, you don’t have to look dated or even worse older than you are! It saddens me when I meet women who look much older than me, but in reality they are much younger than me. The looks on their faces when they realize this is sometimes very sad.

I am not suggesting plastic surgery. But, if you can afford it, find the best/certified plastic surgeon you can and you go girl. But there are so many other things such as a haircut, teeth bleaching, update wardrobe, make up, diet etc., that can help make you look great and even younger! None of these are extremely expensive and can make a big difference in how you feel about your self and the years ahead. Found something that has made a difference to you? Let us know at our TALKING TO GIRLFRIENDS forum on the site.
Look around, you have fixed so many things over the years, now if there is something on you that needs fixing or updating, why not do it!
