Hi TS, & welcome back. I'll be 63 years old on October 10th.
Weird that I still feel 25, but of course like all you other G-Ups, that's not the way others perceive us. But they'll learn, won't they? LOL!!

Well, you are only as old as you feel.....but I do get a scare sometimes when I look in the mirror!!!!eek
I am 63 but feel about 40 until after a half hour in the garden!
Aweful though sometimes when I look back and the regrets come to mind and I wish I had done some things differently or rather, I wish I knew things then that I know now!!!!:cry
However, life is to be enjoyed and we only get one chance!

Wow Beachbelle you certainly don't look your age! Having all those children must have kept you young. How many grandchildren and great grands do you have? It was great meeting you last week. Hope we can all catch up again sometime. biggrin

Hey Kari - About Paula Begoun in the USA, she's fantastic, you're right, and paying three times more for a moisturiser DOESN'T mean it's three times better than one a third of the price. There ARE some major differences in effectiveness between products of course, but at ALL DIFFERENT PRICE POINTS, so expensive doesn't automatically mean better. Which is great because then you can buy a little cheaper and still get something that does the basics (or is surprisingly effective!) most of the time.

Her website is www.cosmeticscop.com

It's one of my favourites and as a makeup artist and beauty consultant I am always referring to her sensible advice and insight about ingredients etc.

Happy reading...and shopping!
