As we women get older or our body starts changing in ways that make you wonder if you are changing into some sort of creature of the night. As women age, the same hormones that made you go out with that jerk your sophomore year at college and then later make you gain five pounds on chocolate cake. You know the evil little terrors I mean.

Well, they attack again when you get older. You start growing hair all over the place. Your mustache will come in better than your teenage son’s will. Things start sliding out of place as well. You will wake up one morning and wonder where your chin went. Older ladies tend to be a little paler; they seem to reflect the sun instead of tanning.

However, not all hope is lost, there are some wonderful inventions out there on the market today that you can use and no one will ever know that you turn into an ogre when the sun goes down.

To get rid of that Fu Manchu, the best hair removal cream can be found at your local drug store. Some women prefer to wax or bleach, but whatever you do, do not shave.

There are several different methods that tighten loose skin. You can go all out with plastic surgery, get a few Botox injections from time to time or simple try one of the many skin tightening moisturizers at your local drug store.

Also at your local drug store, you will find discount tanning lotions. Sunless tanning lotion is a great way to add a little more color to your aging skin.

If you’ve been nominated the gift-buyer in the family or at the office (we all have one), then sometimes choosing the perfect gift can be a bit of a challenge. If you’re charged with buying gifts for him, whether it be your work colleague, dad, brother or husband, then usually they’re pretty easy to buy for – a nice aftershave or a magazine subscription would be ideal. Most of the men I know are happy with whatever you get for them. Even the odd pair of socks is appreciated, if their sock drawer is looking a little depleted. And my dad loves promotional gifts – if it’s free, he’ll accept it, wear it, and love it even if it has a company’s name plastered all over it.

The women on the other hand, aren’t. Buying gifts for her can be harder, even if you’re female yourself. You can buy makeup, but what shades or colours? Jewellery is a nice present, but do they wear gold or silver, diamonds, pearls or sapphires? Chocolates might not be appreciated, and wine is a personal taste. Same as perfume – what you love might not be as favoured by the recipient.

I always buy gift vouchers! They can buy anything they want then. No problems!

Some women like shoes, some women like sunglasses, but the most important accessory to any outfit is by all means the handbag. Women are very careful when they buy handbags. Just as the right handbag can make you, the wrong handbag can break you. There are so many options available when it comes to handbags. You want a bag that will look good and function well. You want a bag that you can take where you want to go and have the capacity to hold everything you need it to hold. One of my personal favorites when it comes to handbags is the Chloe handbags, in particular the Chloe Riva Satchel.

This beautifully structured lambskin handbag has several rectangular shapes that give the bag a distinct design. The double-top handle is a perfect 6” in length. This beautiful bag features a front flap pocket on the side that has two zippers. The inside pocket zips closed to hold your compact or lip gloss for easy access. The top zips as well for added security. This bag is functional enough to carry with you everywhere and so classy it will complement any outfit you own. Like all designer handbags, you can get yours online for only $1595.
