Are you applying the same makeup you’ve used for 20 years?
Same hairstyle… same clothing styles?

Let’s start with makeup: as we age, there’s one thing we should never use…FACE POWDER! Why?
The fine powder may camouflage discoloration in your face, but it also clings to the lines and wrinkles,
especially in the laugh lines around your eyes and mouth.

This makes the finer lines look like crack in the sidewalk. And the deeper lines look like the
Grand Canyon! Using face powder after 50 is the easy way to appear older than you really are.

HERE’S WHAT TO DO:

*After applying your face powder, look in the mirror… then smile! What do you see?
*Better yet, move closer to the mirror… suprised? Imagine, this is how you look to anyone who gets
close… a snuggle maybe?
*With all the cosmetic counters available… take some time and let the pros show you alternatives
to face powder. Yes, they will want to sell you something. But when you discuss your concerns, then
they will do their best to make a happy customer, and show you their expertise.  And remember,
you don’t need to buy… at least not in that moment.

My Recommendation:
Make an appointment at a cosmetic counter. Tell them you want a daytime look or an evening look.
THEN… capture the comments from friends and family. And notice how your self-confidence gets
a boost.

And let us know your thoughts by adding a post to this blog.
We can learn from each other!

FYI: this is the first in a series: “A LESSON IN CREATING YOUR LOOK”

But if you or your partner, or both…have been conditioned
to expect climax and orgasm, then no wonder you’re not
coming to grips with the tender mysteries and adventure
of the journey.

So you think having an orgasm is required…like passing
a test? Let’s be sensible:
*The magazine tells us we should have sex several times per week.
*In fact, if we don’t crave sex…we’re no longer sexy(they say).
*We should be salacious and wanton. Go look it up…I did!

Making love is not an Olympic feat. There’s no time limit, no rules,
and no winner!

Obviously something happens after the early formative years and NOW! We develop
a competitive nature, and the need to perform as in our youth. Or at least live up to
what we think is expected. But why do we take this thinking into our bed, into our
relationships, into our most passionate moments?

This only leads to judgement of our partner and mostly ourselves…if we’re the one not
reaching orgasm. Lots of heartache ahead if you don’t lighten up to think and act in
a more loving way.

THE SOLUTION:
Just be considerate and enjoy pleasing each other. And if one goes to orgasm
and the other doesn’t, why should it matter? Don’t let this special time together evolve
into a sport, a game…with a tally at the end.

Remember, it’s not about winning.
Making love is about sharing, feeling, and enjoying
the magical moments together.

Do you agree?
Pass it along…

I’m using Ingrid’s photo to make a point. Something we all
can relate to: Our Eyes Have Feeling!

When looking at a picture of Ingrid, I immediately make the
‘aawww’ sound and feel all warm and cuddly. It’s just like
Ingrid is right next to me. And then I think of her cold, wet
nose / how she waits anxiously by my refrigerator door for
a dollop of yogurt / the warmth of her big ol’ head resting on my lap. I’m even smiling
as I write this for you. (I can even smell her, but I won’t go further.)

How do you feel when you see your baby(your pet), or grandchild, OR when you
see a photo of someone or something you don’t like at all? I call this ‘eye touch’.
Our emotions immediately come to the surface…both good or bad, loving or disgusting
and all other feelings in between.

We don’t just SEE with our eyes.

We FEEL with our eyes.
And this is why the long gaze of flirting can be playfully romantic or a
sexual overture.

Isn’t our sensual side pretty incredible?
Let your feelings flow…the good ones.
And ‘yes’, experiencing your senses = feelings and emotion, leading to
your passion and desire.

STOP right now!
Look at a photo…how do you feel?
Continue to explore your ‘eye touch’ and unlock your emotions.
If you journal: make note of your feelings when you see
*Different colors
*Your Mother
*Yourself in the morning
*Your lover
*Romantic picture
*A piece of cake
*keep on going…
