Every couple of weeks when I'm at the grocery store, I'll throw a bottle of wine or a 6-pack of some sort of beer into the cart. Last week, I realized at the checkout that I didn't have my I.D. on me. "That's ok," said the cashier. "You don't need it." I felt a little silly, expecting her to card me, but since I was 21, they've always carded me. Apparently, in my mid-30s, I'm finally looking my age. I'm not sure that's a good thing.

I don't want to look younger, necessarily, but I do want to look youthfulthese tips about how to freshen up your look. My favorites include:
because that's how I feel. That's why I enjoyed

Keep your moisturizer handy. It's amazing how fast skin gets dry in the winter weather. Moisturize your face, yes, but also your neck, feet, and hands.
Drink, drink, drink! Water helps your body function and keeps your cells plump and healthy, which can minimize fine lines in your face and prevent water retention.
Pay attention to your hair. Shiny hair cut stylishly will make you look and feel more youthful.

What are your favorite tips for keeping your look young and fresh?

AVON sells wonderful moisturizers. I live in Florida where your skin seems to just soak up moisturizer. Choose one with an SPF. I love the Anew Ultimate Age repair Night cream and the Age repair Elixir. Within 3 days you lok so much younger and healthier . Do your skin a favor. Nourish it!! www.youravon.com/apelletier

Eating Salmon is known to make skin appear younger and fuller, so I eat it at least once a week. I exercise and eat lots of fruits. I never dress frumpy when I go out. And I dance ALOT, which just makes me very aware of my body. Sheesh, I sound like a woman, haha!
