SENIOR MOMENT 4 WOMEN

therighthairstyles.com I like summer, but it's too hot for me to continue  wearing my wigs.   I am learning to embrace my grey hair. Due to my online research,  I saw hair styles  that look good on greyed- hair women!! I have gotten skilled with using faux braiding hair  to create some styles  which cover up thinning  hair.  I tried braiding grey hair but I didn't do a  good  job. The hair became frizzy.  I just buy pre-braided grey hair online. There isn't a lot of choices for grey hair in my area. I gel my freshly shampooed hair smooth.  I make  a ponytail  on top of my head.  Videos showed  that I should tie a scarf tightly around my head  until my hair dries.  I purchased prebraided hair. I secure  end of braid under my ponytail. I wrap  the braid around my ponytail to shape a bun or  knot.  I wear a  headband or scarf ar...

https://www.pinterest.com I love coloring my hair dark auburn, dark burgundy, and plum  brown.  I wasn't ready to embrace the grey hair yet.  I  became a great in home colorist after I learned what brands of hair  dye worked best for hair type.  My fun with coloring my hair came to a halt 2 years ago.  I had a severe reaction t o the hair dye I had been using  for 10 years!  I was devastated.  I wore wigs in the winter  anyway to give my hair a break from coloring and styling.  I didn't want to see my grey hair during the summer! I prayed, exhaled, and calmed down.  After all, was I a vain woman? I looked on online and watched videos  for alternatives. I discovered that the current trend was young women wearing various shades of grey  hair. This was so ironic.  This old lady didn't  want  grey hair but young ladies were having a ball wearing grey ...

I used to sacrifice big money to buy the latest  designer perfume/cologne.  That is, until I wised up. I saw my long lost cousin a few years ago. We were catching up on the happenings in our lives.  He said he was making money selling wholesale designer body oils. He said that the oils smell just like a version of popular costly colognes and perfumes found  in department stores.  He explained that I was  paying for a pretty bottle, catchy name, and  very little fragrance. His company only uses  pure concentrated perfume oils. Only a dab of this perfume oil is needed and it lasts a long time.

HGTV.com I used to love reading and trying out hacks/ trends I saw on websites. I hate the word "hack" since it reminds me of terrible hacking of people's  personal computer information.   It didn't take long for me to discover that the saying " all that glitters ain't gold," applies to some garden hacks. Some of them work and some were made up to boost online income. I love gardening and this has become my  new hobby since I retired. This  hobby has turned out to be very therapeutic for this senior lady. I have tried most 'hacks I've seen online. I'll only share the gardening trends that have worked well in my garden. I have four raised beds and several container gardens.  These gardens have been easy to maintain. Their yield of veggies have saved me lots of money. My freezer is well stocked. Here are some of the gardening trends that have worked well  for me: Coffee Filters: Pla...

https://vintagedancer.com I want to be fashionable in my old age.  However, there are some styles of  clothing  that I'll leave for young ladies. I have always  avoided trendy clothes  because they may only be fashionable  for  one season.  I avoided capri pants until I realized that  they were here to stay. They reminded me  of the pedal pushers I wore when I was in  high school.    I love capri pants and I wear them daily  during the summer because they keep me  cool on hot days.  I love the trend of tunic styled women's  tops. They are suitable for  women any  I don't care whether they stay fashionable or not. I intend to wear them  like they are a  classic style.   Some of the tunics I see in the department stores remind me of the Nehru jackets I wore in high school. 1960s ...
