HOW TO GET THAT YOUTHFUL LOOK

Maybe you've noticed them too.  I'm talking about women whose faces appear to have landed on the wrong bodies .The face is usually taut and unlined.  It looks maybe forty or  fifty but the body is a different story. It has little to do with size although a very small thin woman may look like an odd child and slack skin on the rest of the body  is at odds with a smooth face. However it's posture and pace that  are the real giveaways  .

 Too many of us ignored our mother's admonishments  to stand  up straight.  One of my mother's favorite tips for a youthful look was to lift from the ribcage.   This simple and easy to hold adjustment  automatically flattens the stomach, squares the shoulders and is not a hard position to maintain.

I recently discovered  that don't walk as fast as I used to.  It's not that I'm unable to pick up the pace but rather that if I don't give it some concerted thought, I tend to amble along.  So now I'm making a new effort to be mindful of my posture and pace, hell bent on  projecting that youthful energetic look  no matter what my age.
