Fashion is always changing and that is why we love it! There is never a shortage of tips and tricks to help us look fresh and updated!
Here are our 10 favorite items that we used more or wore most often:
- Mac Paint Pot (cream color called Painterly, put it on your lids and you make up will stay on all day!)
- Hair volumizer/mouse (VO 5 is a great one that is cheap and works!)
- a Vest (casual or fur vest) This one is a Windstopper by Gortex.
- A wrap dress (great with boots in the winter or bare legged and peep toe heels in the summer from Nordstroms)
- Grow you eyelashes (JJ tested nu Lash and it worked great!)
- Boston Proper (great catalogue for inexpensive but good quality and fashionable basics, like this tank top)
- A stretch belt (Suzi Roher, can you believe this belt has stretch in it! ) This brand is our favorite but you can find other versions that are less expensive.
- Cashmere sweater dress (Can also wear with dark tights and boots in winter and legging and flats in spring)

We wanted to introduce you to them, starting off with:

Fabulous After 40

Trying to stay on top of all the “lingo” these days can be daunting! We wrote a post a few weeks ago with a play on words…cougars and leopards.
For those who haven’t heard, we Glam Gals were not talking about rare endangered species of big cats but referring to the terms describing women who are older and like to date younger men.
So what is all the talk about “leopards”? Well, leopards are not cougars. Leopards are single 40+ women who are intelligent, successful, educated and secure in themselves.
(To set the record straight… both of us are happily married and not in the market, just having some fun with a pun.)
