Fab at forty One of the most difficult fashion issues facing women over 40 is how to dress for the many changes that occur around this age. As many of you already know – in our early to mid forties both our bodies and our lifestyles are in transition.

Physiologically our bodies are changing and some of us will suffer water retention, thinning hair or duller skin. Lifestyle-wise you may be on the brink of empty nest syndrome, you may be newly divorced or beginning new jobs.

If you are a woman over 40, you need to know that you can look just as sexy and vital as your younger counterparts; you just have to learn how to flatter your body without doing a major style overhaul and without looking like the proverbial mutton dressed as lamb. So, are your pleated trousers giving your age away? Maybe you’re stuck in an 80’s beauty rut? Has your hairstyle barely changed in the past few years? If so… Change!

The key issue to dealing with the changes and to modernizing your look is to get in tune with what is in fashion. To go through your handbags and shoes is the quickest way to update your look. Look around – people-watch, browse through magazines, tune into the fashion channel and get a feel for what’s ‘in’. You are not necessarily aiming to be ‘hip and trendy’ but to develop your own timeless signature style. If you need inspiration, look at the ‘mature’ television stars and movie actresses you admire, pick out what you like and emulate their look.

The worst possible thing you can do is dress years younger than you are – all it does is make you look even older and slightly bizarre. So, even if you have the world’s best legs, please no miniskirts! Avoid baggy, formless clothes and chose pieces that give you shape. When out and about shopping, don’t think you can wear the same colours you did when you were in your twenties, especially not next to your face. Experiment with various colours in a good light to find what flatters your forty-something skin.

Fashion and beauty tricks

Stand-up or turn-up collars are great for disguising a wrinkly neck. They cover the area and bring the focus to the face. It helps too to always wear a bit of white close to your face. Soft colours such as pale pink, white, beige or ice blue also bring light to the face and thus detract from the neck.

If you have lost your waistline along the way, wear jackets and pieces that will give you shape.

Look at yourself in the mirror, decide what your best features are and emphasize them. If you have nice hands, manicure them, good cleavage – show it off (in moderation) and so on.

If age spots begin to appear on the back of your hands or face – fight back. Many products are available that will lighten and fade liver spots and at sites like Skin Lightening Advice you’ll find the best skin lightening cream articles, guidance and information.

Unfortunately many forty-something ladies suffer from thinning hair. If this is you, explain to your hairdresser what is happening and discuss with her a fresh new style that will help you get the appearance of thicker hair. Ask her advice on products too, there are many on today’s market that are specifically formulated to ‘fatten’ thinning and/or flyaway hair. You can look fab at forty; it just takes a little attention to detail and a few tweaks.

Click here and read this: Staying away from marriage conflict.

Is there really a way in which you can permanently end marriage conflict? Well probably not completely cut it out, but make it less of a problem yes. First and most important is to make sure you are marrying for the right reason, and the right person.

Just out of curiosity the divorce rates for several countries were compared for this article. It’s amazing; the highest rate of divorce for first time marriages was in the UK at 70%, while Canada and the US came in second with 50%. Sad to even think of that many people who had such high hopes when they first became married.

It would be nice to know if there was a simple process or formula you could use to find the right partner. Unfortunately there isn’t, but many people seem to rush into marriage. Avoid the quick marriage problem, but instead wait a few years to tie the knot. Marriage conflict will be less if you have grown together over years and know each other so deeply.

Your sure to go through many problems in those years, and how you handle those as a couple can show if you will make a good couple in marriage. Obviously if you fight about those problems and feel like you don’t want to be together, don’t get married. It seems like a simple idea, but one that isn’t taken to heart by many people very often.

It’s not just the US who see high rates of divorce, many other countries will see the same amount or even higher according to the study. You have to wonder in these marriages how often a person has acted like they were something they weren’t. There is only so long that you can keep up a false persona.

But could it be because of the upbringing of our children that leads to more marriage conflicts and higher rates of divorce? Think of it, women who are raised in the US and Canada, do not bow down to men as much as a Japanese women is taught.

Settling for a marriage that you cannot be completely you is a sure way to have marriage conflict. Along with the fact that you will never be able to fully communicate with a person who doesn’t know the complete you. So why not start the relationship out correctly by behaving how you do all the time.

The same can be said for a person who knows another is acting a certain way and not being themselves. Don’t be so blind that you will allow this to happen; you need to accept the good and bad of a spouse. Marriage conflict will not just go away and you will need to work it out.

Perhaps you already have a few adult toys and are considering buying another or perhaps you’re literally ‘toying‘ with the idea of buying your very first one – with so many different styles of vibrator on the market – do you know what each one does?

Not all vibrators are created equal – and – depending on its shape and functions, vibrators are designed to give you either G-spot, clitoral or vaginal stimulation. In the case of Rabbit Vibrators however – you get all three in one. However, before you head to your neighbourhood adult shop or online store, read this rundown on vibrator types to see which one fits your own personal preference the best.

Bullets — Bullet vibrators are small, discreet and can be used all over the body, internally or externally. They are very versatile and they travel very discreetly and easily. They are often inexpensive and can be enjoyed by women or men. Bullets are usually hard-shelled (either plastic or aluminum) or covered with a soft rubber or jelly coating. Be daring and try them on your nipples, labia, clitoris or G-spot (as long as the bullet has a retrieval cord).

Eggs — Egg vibrators are identical to bullets, providing the same types of stimulation. However, an egg vibrator is shaped like— yes you guessed it—an egg.

Traditional Vibrators — When we talk about a traditional vibrator, we mean your basic hard-shelled plastic vibrator, measuring anywhere from four to eight inches long. These vibrators are for both external and internal stimulation. They vibrate at multiple speeds – and are typically controlled by a knob at the base of the vibrator. Traditional vibrators can run on anything from AA to C cell batteries. They vary in power and speed, but the hard shell means you feel more vibration with no ‘buffer’.

Realistic Vibrators — A realistic vibrator has a phallic shape, with all the details of a real penis. Realistic vibes vary in both size and shape, but are generally made of silicone, jelly or rubber materials, giving them a softer feel. Realistic vibes can be used internally or externally. They vary in vibration speeds and functions (such as rotation) and battery types as well.

Rabbit Vibrators — Rabbit vibrators stimulate your vaginal walls, G-spot and your clitoris, simultaneously. Rabbits have a rotating or oscillating shaft that is pleasurably lined with massaging beads or pearls—this is the part you use internally. They also feature vibrating bunny ears that tickle your clitoris on the outside. Vibrator rabbits shot to fame following a Sex and the City episode in which Charlotte becomes a recluse following the aquisition of a rabbit vibrator. At sites such as LoveTheRabbit.com you’ll find many rabbit vibrator articles, information, raves and reviews and links to the stores that stock them.

G-Spot Vibrators — G-spot vibrators were designed to locate and stimulate your G-spot. Some G-spot vibrators are hard and rigid; some are soft and flexible. G-spot vibrators feature a slightly curved or hooked head for targeted stimulation.

Clitoral Stimulators — Some vibrators were designed especially for clitoral stimulation. A number of these vibrators are actually wearable and some are shaped to fit over your pubic bone. You can use these discreet vibes during sex or solo play.

Specialty Vibrators — Some vibrators defy categorization. They still vibrate and provide thrilling stimulation: They just have unique, innovative and spectacular shapes and functions. Some are cone shaped, others are long and pencil thin while others still are very futuristic in their forms and finishes. There is even a range of vibrators that will throb in time to the music on your MP3 player – they are called the OhMiBod – and are powered by your iPod.
