No Lipstick When I was a child, my mom didn’t allow me to wear make-up. My family often said that make-up aged you, and that I didn’t need it. Yet these same people would gift make-up to me. So I used it to draw and create artwork. I’d make beautiful faces, and put all sorts of colors together indiscriminately. I did notice however that little white girl’s parents would let them wear whatever makeup they wanted. Even if they looked like little clowns.

Self Care Tips You Need to Know to Prevent Aging
Most people think the effects of age only set in at about midlife. First you’re young, then you suddenly wake up with arthritic knees that can predict a coming storm. You fall asleep in a slightly-wrong position and wake up with a back that hurts so much you can barely make it through the workday sitting at your desk.

No matter how old you are, it’s never too late to begin a healthy new routine.
