I saw a picture of Heather Locklear on the internet today and she looks FABULOUS! She is going to be 50 people! Reminds me of the SNL skit with Molly Shannon as Sally O'Malley. I often run around crying out "I'm fifty! I can kick, I can stretch. Fifty 5-0!" When my friend turned 50 last year, we couldn't get enough of it. But now, as I am creeping up on 50 myself, I think about how I will look and feel over the next few years. I want to look like the Heather Locklears, the Christy Brinkleys, etc. of the world but truth be told, I am not that dedicated to a healthy diet, exercise, blah, blah, blah. I also don't live their lifestyle with access to the beauty treatments, products and luxury of focusing on how you look. I mean, that's their job-job, right? I schelp bankruptcy petitions & lawsuits for a living! So, here's my simple plan for trying to look as good as Heather Locklear when I turn 50 (it's too late to marry a rocker):
1) Drink more water - dehydrated skin shows your age
2) Moisturize, Moisturize, Moisturize - see #1 above
3) Stay out of the sun
4) TRY to stay away from alcohol/red meat/processed sugars & food (or at least cut down)
5) Be happy with myself
I read about a lot of tricks and gimmicks (the "Instant FaceLift", yea, right!) but none of these will keep me/you young and honestly, I wouldn't want to be any other age but my age right now. Otherwise, I'd be that unsophisticated 20-something wearing bad shoes who can't hold her booze. Who wants that? So focus on what you can do now to look great later. Small changes go a long way and although not all of us will look like Heather or Christy when we're fifty, we might still be able to stretch and kick.
Smooches,
Letty
