Remember when you were a teenager and your 30’s seemed so far off? People would tell you to stay out of the sun, wash your face every night and use a moisturizer religiously less you run the risk of developing fine lines and wrinkles once you get into your 30’s. Well, flash forward and here you are in your 30’s. And, just like you can no longer dress the same as a teenager, your beauty routine needs to differ as well.

It may feel like spring is a long way off, but in about a month winter will officially be over.  Spring is the time of year when your hands finally emerge from the confines of mittens and gloves.  Those dry, chapped hands and brittle nails will soon be on display, so now is the time to start moisturizing regularly, if you aren’t already.  You want your hands to be in their best condition because come April, you’ll be anxious to show off these hot nail polish colors.  Here are some fantastic nail polish colors that work on any skin tone.

Here are some of our favorite hair care and hairstyling products that won’t cost you a fortune.

I often hear new mothers talk about their birth present. Have you heard about this? It’s a token of appreciation given by the spouse or partner for carrying and delivering their child. This token often comes in the form of jewelry. I received a beautiful necklace, but I got something else as well – varicose veins.

Varicose veins are those unsightly bluish, purplish bulging veins that most commonly occur in the legs. For some people, varicose veins can be extremely painful. A milder form of these varicose veins is referred to as spider veins. Although not painful, these too can be rather unattractive.

What’s one of the first things that people notice about you? Could it be your smile? Perhaps, but if you have yellow or stained teeth, it won’t matter how nice your smile is, because that’s what people will see first.

Having white teeth portrays a certain image. Right or wrong, it gives the impression that you are clean, put together and intelligent; that you are probably someone people would want to get to know. Think about it, if you were trying to buy a house, would you choose a realtor with stained or yellowing teeth? For those of you in the work force, a white smile is important for career advancement.

I’m always looking for fun accessories that don’t cost a fortune. I believe that accessories can take an otherwise simple outfit and make it fabulous. This is also the area of your wardrobe where you can be trendy without going over the top. Most of us aren’t in our 20’s anymore – the decade when you can be fashionably fearless. However, that doesn’t mean that you have to retire your inner fashionista; she can still shine – with an age appropriate wardrobe and amazing accessories!
