There are some things in life that women our age JUST shouldn’t do. Here’s a list to fly by:
1. Never shower in HOT water. It dries out your skin and takes the shine out of your hair. This happens over time of course, but it is a fact! So keep it warm – but NOT hot.
2. DON’T use a cream foundation. It totally coagulates in your wrinkles (and we all have them by middle age – at least to some degree). Dust on a loose powder for a light cover and color.
3. Try not to date yourself with your accessories. A simple pair of earrings will do – and DON”T carry a sloppy handbag or wear run-over shoes. If you pay attention to the details it will pull your look together. They don’t have to be expensive, but they do require thought.
4. Don’t “have your nails done.” It’s soooooooo eighties!
5. If you have a hairdo that requires spray … rethink it. Or just go without and see how it looks/feels. You’ll probably be pleasantly surprised. (and so will everyone else) Of course, you HAVE to have a hairdo. You can’t just “let it go.” A good stylist is a MUST and a Godsend once you find one. Do whatever you need to do to keep her!
6. NEVER go to bed without removing all your makeup and moisteurizing your face. This is a no-brainer from puberty on.
7. Don’t assume it’s winter and you don’t have to shave your legs regularly. You NEVER know when you might get lucky! 
8. Don’t run from the camera. Trust me! It’s better to stay put and smile. Give it your best shot – EVERY time! Otherwise, you’ll have many unflattering poses and candid shots that will circulate despite your horror and emphatic protestations.
9. Putting off tomorrow what you can do today – is never a good idea when it comes to exercise! unfortunately – the effect IS cumulative. And when you miss a day or two, which leads to three (you know what I mean) – you end up losing muscle and gaining flab … way too fast at our age!
10. AND finally – DON’T miss an opportunity to flirt! It makes you feel good AND doesn’t hurt anybody.

I like your fun facts but now in the second half, my job requires me to wear uniforms and I have no clue how to accessorize. Even picking out a shade of lipstick is a 2 hour chore. I agree about the running from photos have many bad closed eye ones. ugh! love your blogs.
