Re: Mid lifers?? I need your help with an exhaustion question.......

In Beauty Banter 1368930217.437

Oh ladies- I can't tell you how much I appreciate the advise. So a few more things...I STARTED drinking coffee for the first time in my entire life about 8 months ago (young kids, work, hectic schedule) and so I have been trying to drop that gradually by just doing a diet soda or iced tea. As far as the night sleep....yes it is fragmented at times with kids nightmares, bed accidents, etc. But when I hit the pillow I am OUT!! My husband said I have a new deep snore (nice, huh?) I have always been a real go getter...running around town etc. But the other day I was at the Mall grabbing b-day pre... Continue Reading

 

Mid lifers?? I need your help with an exhaustion question.......

Last Reply by Brinklii 1368975398.877 | Started by beautyandabag4me in Beauty Banter

I have posted a few recent mid-life questions here recently and thought I might seek more insight for those of you that have been through it. Recently I had a physical and my Vit D was a bit low and LDL was a little high....other than that not much else.... So I've been taking supplements for D, added co q 10 and b 12. My thyroid and blood sugar was all good. Anyhow I am really struggling with afternoon energy crashes recently!! I'm not a headache kind of gal and yet this week I've have an intense one. By afternoon I am deeply deeply tired. Again, this is not typical for me. I am a stay up ti... Continue Reading

Re: If you could have secretly had and kept a photo of you naked in your "prime" that no one would ever see..would you?

Oh yeah...probably should have answered my own darn question, right? Ha! So I have to say yes. But here's what I would want.....and keep in mind I am saying it NO ONE would ever have access. Imagine that if you died the photo poofs away too...no one will ever see it......so I would want 1 photo of me naked the day before I gave birth to both my kids. It's just something I still find AWESOME that us women and our amazing bodies can do. And then I would really, really want some black and white photos of me nursing my babies. Again, I just think that this is mother in me and awe of what us women... Continue Reading

I keep seeing this celebrities doing nearly naked in my 40s-50s magazine shoots and it makes me think....would you ever do this as a memento for yourself? What age would you want taken? Continue Reading

 

Re: Nail polish.....anyone have any new favorite colors for spring?

In Beauty Banter 1368151976.543

Ladies put down the MINT green polishes!!! The new color that I am loving and I truly think is soooooooo much more flattering in an edgy fun way are these new baby blue colors! Try it!! It really is a cute look! Continue Reading

 

Eye primer for oily lids? Any recommendations?

Last Reply by Catstamper 1368018091.627 | Started by beautyandabag4me in Beauty Banter

I have fairly oily lids that seem to make the "uncreaseable" shadows crease quite easily. I literally feel like I need to dab my lids mid day with rice paper! Any suggestions? Continue Reading

 

Do any of you "just know" what times of the month you look your best??

Last Reply by Grade1Teach 1368005502.737 | Started by beautyandabag4me in Beauty Banter

So this seems to have taken me quite a long time to master....but suddenly I seem to "get it" that the entire week before my cycle I generally look bloated, oily, broken out, rashy you name it. About three days after I begin my cycle I look so much more toned. Is it just me that can isolate these times? I feel like I need two separate skin products depending on the week!

Re: Entering the pre-midlife and need some feedback on recent MD physical.....

In Beauty Banter 1367380937.227

Thanks ladies soooo much for your thoughts on this. Has anyone else ever had experiences with this drug for PMS? I'd love to hear more thoughts. My other fear is that with sedatives......what about those mid-night wakes from my wee ones? Won't I be out of it? MAkes me leary for their safety of even being able to rouse me from a deep sleep.

Entering the pre-midlife and need some feedback on recent MD physical.....

Last Reply by Dagna 1367511057.49 | Started by beautyandabag4me in Beauty Banter

Okay ladies- My old trusted MD recently retired and I ended up seeing a new gal who asked me to list my concerns..... So entering the mid-range of life I told of my recently changing heavier cycles, my general increased PMS symptoms or irritability and hot bursts and occassional early am wake up. Nothing too serious IMO for my age.... So she recommended CoQ10, Vit D3, and sublingual B12....then she gave me a RX for something said to take daily to help with the PMS symptoms.... Well ladies....it is for trazadone...which upon googling at home realized is a anti-anxiety, depression, sedative! So... Continue Reading
