My Beauty Routine For My Skin

People always get surprised when I tell them that I have three sons and the oldest one is 26.  They look so surprised and what goes through my mind is "Do they think I had the boys at a young age".  I proceed to let them know that I just turned 49 in June.  They get even more surprised.  I like the look of surprise and it makes me want to continue to get that type of attentions ( can you say vain?)  I have a few secrets that I would like to share with you. 

 I have a routine that I live by:

• First, I have to say stress if a big part of making yourself looking older.  I am a Buddist and I have learned how to handle stress very well.
• Second, my routine in the morning is to wipe my face with a sensitive makeup remover wipe and then use a cleaner like, La Mer or a Dermalogica cleaner.  I than use a toner (Dermalogica) and use a mosterizer (La Mer or Dermalogiac),  I do this every day and my face really feels and looks great.  
• At night I do use a makeup remover and than a cleanser and mousterizer(La Mer or Dermalogica)
• I don't drink a lot of water and that is something that I think would really help (bad me).
• Exercise is very important.  I have a job that is great for that.  I work with a company that teaches pre-school children physical fitness.  So I am working out around 2 to 2 1/2 hours a day.  

La Mer is a very expensive facial Line, but it is such a great investment.  You will spend around $400.00 for all the products

Dermalogica is less expensive.  It runs for the whole kit around $150.00.

Sexy Peather - It Really Does Look Fly

Peather or leather, You decide.  I love this one shouldered dress with that sheer sexy look as well as the peather material.  I got so many likes on instagram I couldn't resist posting a blog on this dress.  As you can see at the shoulder and the stomach, it is made of sheer black materials.  I know that that trend of one shoulder didn't go to far, but how can you not want to get this amazing piece.  So sexy and fly.  Sun glasses purchased for $12.00.  Enjoy

COLOR BLOCK OUR BEST FRIEND?????????

Yes, I said it.  Color block is our best friend.  This color bock little pink number was purchased at the Salvation Army for $7.99.  I am loving this look.  I really like the fact that this dress has that color block to help my shape look a little more toned.  This dress is short but not revealing.  I love the two pinks in the dress.  The materials are so soft and vibrant to the touch.   I paired it with a great purse I purchase at a estate sale for $10.00 in Chevy Chase Maryland.  The purse is two tone silver and gold which of course goes with everything.  Enjoy

Sequin Top Made into a skirt - What the What

Yes you read the title correct.  This amazing sequin skirt is a sequin tank top.  I really didn't think that it was very flattering as a top, so I worn it as a skirt.  I'm 49 years old and even I couldn't pull this one off as a top.  Yes I do love the 60's and I was born in the 60's, but again I'm not trying  to look 20.  I paired this skirt with a green blouse I bought years ago, but never really wear ( I will now).  I love the color on me as well.  I would introduce you to my clear shoes, but you have met them so many times before.  I love this look and posted it on instagram and within minutes, got 45 like.  Go Kat
