Yesterday I had my very first Manicure, Pedicure and Brow Wax. Well, don't I feel like a Granny Diva. All I can say is thank God for discount vouchers, otherwise I would never have even considered getting painted and waxed. I was pleased to learn from the beautician that lots of "more mature" folk take advantage of her services. Power to me. I'm saving up for the next round. I would love to hear from my partners in pampering about their experiences.

I have my nails redone every 3 weeks. I have a Gel finish which lasts the full three weeks, looks good. It makes the wrinkles less obvious LOL.
I have my haircut about 4.5 weeks & coloured and streaked about every 3 months. The colour which is really lifting my own natural colour seems to last that long so I am pretty lucky.
I have given up wearing make up it is too much bother my hands have developed a shake which makes mascara impossible.
Mascara is something I miss as my eyelashes are fair and not really visible.
With age I have developed a faint fuss which the salon offer to wax but that is all. I don't drink or smoke, therefor these treats are good for me and hubby. Even my grandchildren approve.
Why should we fade into the background. Actually I receive compliments from younger women who say I look good and it is good to see.
