Hey YOU!

Yes...you! I'm talking to you out there!

Do you have a question about a certain beauty product? Have you wondered where you can get an answer to your question?

Well...ask no more! Jen can help. If Jen can't help...she will find someone that can!

Are you wondering what shoes to wear with that fantastic outfit you just bought!? Ask Jen!

This blog is for everyone..this isn't a blog limited to women of a certain age, it's for all of us!

I want funny stories, great beauty product reviews, helpful hints.

I'm going to be reviewing a few beauty products in the next few days...so watch for that!

So check back..and contact me if you would like to add a review or helpful hint for all of us!

Got Brow?!

Noticing a loss of hair some places....like brows! Keep them tweezed and well shaped. Brows help to frame your face! I love my Laura Geller Brow Marker! I actually bought mine from QVC, and loved it so much, I bought my daughter one. It's not as harsh looking as those old brow pencils.

Just a few light strokes and really...you'll notice a difference. If I can only use a few products for the day, my Laura Geller Brow Marker would definitely be on the top of my list!

Okay, Okay, I'll Give You Some Beauty Secrets

Yes! You have been begging for my beauty secrets! I am ready to divulge just a few to start! These are inexpensive products that everyone can afford. Yes, one of them is olive oil! Do you ever buy a product that is supposed to be good for your nails and cuticles? I'm sure it's a great product, but if you just dab some extra virgin olive oil on a cotton pad and dab that on your nail bed and surrounding area, and continue this treatment for just a week, you will see a difference!

Vitamin E oil..under $4.00 at your local drugstore, I used it after my shower; for my hands, for my neck, under eyes, and lips, whatever!

Now, although my blog is 40 and fabulous, it is for everyone! Whether you are 20, 30, 40, etc., I think we all need some new ideas! If you are 20, you're lucky! There are a lot more products out there to help you to slow down the aging process!

If you have some beauty tips, please let us know! This blog is for everyone!

I'm Back

I've been pretty busy, so I haven't really given too much thought to my fabfortyandbeyond blog, but I really want to get it going! I'm still looking for contributors!

I want this blog to be about everything! Beauty, venting, questions, answers, laughter..you name it!

Thanks Rhonda

Check out Rhonda's comment! It's wonderful..what a great sense of humor! I am inviting everyone out there in the 40 and beyond world to come on in...tell us your story; whether you just have a quick, funny story like Rhonda's, or some helpful hints for all of us, we want to hear about them! After all, with the way medical technology is going, we have a lot of damn good years left in us, so let's make the best of them!

Keep smiling...keep laughing!

I'm ready to get started!

I started this blog awhile ago, but I really haven't done anything with it. I wasn't sure exactly how I wanted to go with this. I knew that, for me, after I hit around 45...things really started to change. If you're over 45, you'll understand!

I have decided this will be a place for us to vent, to laugh (at ourselves!), and to give each other ideas to help us through all of our changes, and make it a positive experience (not much we can do about it anyways, so we might as well laugh!).

I am part of a panel that receive samples of new products to try out and then critique the product (for a beauty magazine). I'm going to start with the latest product I received. It is a mascara called Exceptionnel De Chanel (yes, it's Chanel). Save your money...this was clumpy and flaky. The good news is...the old standby, Maybelline Great Lash.the Blackest Black Mascara, is wonderful, and inexpensive. If you haven't tried it, try it; just don't use too much mascara. Over the age of 4o--ish, it is better to go lighter with all of your makeup. We actually age ourselves when we add too much!

So...I'm open for business and open for discussions! Let me know your questions, problems, great ideas, your funny stories!

We still have a lot of life left in us! Let's make the best of it!

Jen

this is my 2nd post

I will get 40 and beyond woman to my blog...soon, I am sure! and once everyone knows about this, they won't be able to get enough!

If anyone happens to tumble upon this, and you've hit the big 4-0--add a comment, give us your experiences, your questions, your venting..whatever!!
