Fabulous@50 Blog

Has summer finally arrived?

The temperatures are rising but ladies like their image to stay light and fresh - not like a wilted flower; men, you want to look cool and buff, not rumpled and sweaty. Here are some foolproof "Beat the Heat" strategies for your wardrobe and beauty regime that will boost your image without costing you a fortune. These tips are simple, quick, and easy.

Wardrobe Strategies

Fabrics: avoid polyester, rayon, or nylon. They trap heat against your body that causes you to feel hot and sticky. Instead, choose a breezy, light-weight cotton, cotton blend, linen, or wicking fabric when appropriate. With this season's cotton and linen fabrics, wrinkled clothing is an image BUSTER! Your garments must be pressed for a polished, neat, and crisp appearance to "bust" the wilted, melted look of sweat-crinkled clothing.

Re: Are you an original? Break Free From the Mold.
Thank you for speaking into my heart this morning. I have always been "the original" one - the one that never stayed with the status quo. Visionaries are like that. It is only recently that I can truly say that I am gifted and talented and YES Different than the woman who must please each person and put herself last. I still do please people and still do put myself last, but I do it because I want to- not because it is expected of me.
How do I become a part of the tribe you are running with?

Hi Diana. Belated congratulations on being awarded the WMCA Women of Distinction award! I just want to say hello and let you know I am thinking happy thoughts for you. I traveled in from Cold Lake for your first Fabulous @ 50 at the Lions Centre with my hand painted silk scarves. All the best!
Re: Are you an original? Break Free From the Mold.
My grandmother used to say "If you never looked in a mirror you would never know you were getting older". I have now lived long enough to know she was right. In her honor I am going out today to buy a perfectly fitted red bra, and I'm going to live, every day, at the age I feel when I don't look in the mirror.
Love your blog, thought provoking as always.
Cheers,
Lorraine
