Lisa Rinna’s Anti-Aging Oil

Lisa Rinna’s Anti-Aging Oil on Her Instastories

Real Housewives of Beverly Hills 2020 Instagram Beauty

Lisa Rinna’s anti-aging oil she shared with us on her Instastories is a must have. I’ve just started to try to learn about all things skin care since I am soon entering my “late 20s” and need to get a jump on things.  Preventative care is all the rage, right? Something that I really need is cream/oil for my neck. My face looks like a 16 year old and my neck looks like it’s grandma (Editor’s Note: Her neck DOES not look like a grandma’s. Just wait Jessica, just wait 😉) . I never knew that a neck could age so quickly, but here we are.

Since it seems like Nurse Jamie has found the Fountain of Youth based on the way her celeb clients look I think I’m going to give this anti-aging oil a shot, if I can get my hands on any as it keeps selling out. And after all it’s Housewives approved, along with a ton of other Nurse Jamie products.

 

Sincerely Stylish,

Jess

9 Original Dating Ideas for Covid Times

dating tips outdoors covid

The old “Would you like to go out for dinner?” isn’t appropriate these days, but don’t give up. Especially if you talked or “met” on a dating site before Covid but didn’t have a chance to get together.

The important thing is, he’s nice, and you think he’s interested. You’re game, so how to get together and still keep your distance?

First, let him know you’re willing to meet as long as you both stay outdoors. This is the safest way to go. Once you’ve made it clear you want a keep-your-distance date and he’s agreed, you can plan. You’ll both wear masks, at least for starters.

Keep in mind that distance dating is a unique time to get to know someone without the pressure of physical intimacy. If that subject eventually comes up, you’ll need to discuss how to proceed with caution. This article outlines the light side of dating in Covid times.

Wine Tasting in a Public Park

If alcoholic beverages aren’t allowed, or you’re uncomfortable with an outdoor wine tasting, switch to a variety of juices. The thing about a tasting is there are those little crackers (found in any wine store), and you get to banter. Plus, it takes time to do all that tasting.

Wine tasting doesn’t have to be elaborate. You can go with a single bottle of your favorite zinfandel and it still counts. “Wine tasting” is the secret password to “Let’s get together.”

Go on a Picnic

Take it up a notch, especially if you’re able to swing dinner along with a couple of bottles of wine to juggle and taste.

You’ll probably want to learn a little jargon, so have phones handy for research purposes. Bring a picnic lunch or dinner. A sandwich will suffice if you’re not into cooking. Keep that distance and enjoy.

Explore an Interesting Location

Visit a botanical garden, a rose garden, or a cemetery. As for the cemetery, choose one with really old headstones, preferably from the 1600s. My hometown is New Haven, CT, and the cemetery downtown is a treasure trove of history.

Go for an ice cream cone after. Wear those masks when you go inside to order your vanilla with a twist.

Take a Hike in the Woods

If you choose to go on a hike, bring organic bug spray. Bring your dog along as a guest walker. On the trail, there’s little danger of encountering a crowd. Where I live, there’s no hiking. A man-made hill called Celery Fields passes for a mountain. I still count it as a hike.

Dance Outside

Okay, so I’m desperate because I’m a dancer and there’s no dancing at my favorite spots. My partner and I watch YouTube videos on our phones together. Outdoors. Sounds silly, but sometimes we do a little individual practice.

A little Lindy swing out, and a few salsa moves. We do this on concrete slabs behind a local restaurant, and no, I’m not telling you where because everyone who reads this will swarm there and crowd us out.

Go to the Beach

Meet at the beach for a walk and a swim if they’re open in your town. Avoid the changing rooms and use the old air-dry method. Walk during low tide and collect seashells. Watch the birds; they’re endlessly entertaining. Keep the beach chairs six feet apart and apply your own sunscreen. Wear a hat.

Miniature Golf

Why not be silly and try miniature golf? I know, you’re laughing. Miniature golf isn’t just for middle school kids back in the day. It’s goofy, doesn’t require a high skill level, and you can make a fool of yourself or show off.

Watch the Night Sky

Invite him to a meteorite shower. Ask him if he believes in UFOs or whether he watches Ancient Aliens on the History channel. Bring chairs, binoculars, and treats.

Lawn Parties Are the New Thing

Have a lawn party for two. Get out the chairs, the beer or wine, a few treats, and enjoy the company. Take turns inviting each other over and writing topics or questions on paper. Fold them and drop them into a hat. Answer honestly. No one-word answers allowed.

Once you’re at the third date, invite another couple to join you. You’ll learn unexpected things about one another, and maybe even your friends.

The point in all this is to just have fun while dating at a distance. If you have continued dating during Covid, kudos to you!

Would you date during Covid? What’s your ideal date in this strange time? How silly are you willing to go when it comes to distance dating? Please share with our sisters!

Dolores Catania’s Glowy Makeup

Dolores Catania’s Glowy Makeup on Instagram

Real Housewives of New Jersey 2020 Instagram Beauty

Dolores Catania lit up our Instagram feed with her glowy make up look created by MUA Judy Gabbay aka @GlossipGirl. We couldn’t call it anything else because all we could think about is that bold cheek hi-light!  I absolutely love make up that looks like you’re literally lighting up whether makes you glisten in the sun or maybe in your selfie ring light. It’s also a little more on the natural look side which is always a good for a day time look. It even can coast you into the evening for a night out too. And when it gets too dark outside your face can provide the light to guide you to the next bar home.

 

Sincerely Stylish,

Jess

10 Best Bra Options for Older Women

bra styles for older women

Aging is definitely a process. A process that we can try to gracefully slow down by leading a healthy and active lifestyle. But no matter how much we try, certain body parts are simply prone to weaken over time. Our breasts fall in this category. Yup, our girls are going south, and they’re not coming back.

Our skin loses collagen and elasticity through the years, and the ligaments that support the breasts weaken. Additionally, breastfeeding and wearing the wrong (or no) bra can also have an impact on our breast health. All of this leaves us with a sagging version of what our breasts used to be.

Have you felt that your usual bras don’t fit as well as before? Have you noticed bulges on your sides and even on your back? Are your breasts making a disappearing act under your armpits? Maybe you’re having difficulty putting your bra on and taking it off?

You’re not alone.

Unless you’ve had implants or reconstructive surgery, you’ll need to look into purchasing a bra that is comfortable and that will provide adequate support for your heading-south bust. No worries, there is a variety of bras for older women to choose from.

I’ll admit I have a thing for bras and probably own way too many for just one woman. I have the cute French lace bras, the cozy everyday t-shirt bras, the bralettes, the sexy push-up bras, and the supportive sports bras.

I was a lingerie designer for over 20 years so that probably explains my love of all things underwear. One thing that I have noticed recently is that my bras don’t fit as well as they used to.

So, it seems that a changing body means it’s time to change our bras.

Why Wear a Bra

Our culture has grown to expect women to start wearing bras as soon as they start showing signs of breast growth, usually at the onset of puberty.

Trends have come and gone through the years, from the iconic conal bras of the 40s to the burning of the bras movement of the 70s, right up to the extremely padded push-up bras of recent years.

But why do we wear bras? Apart from the cultural acceptance of bras, women (especially those with larger breasts) feel better when the breasts are supported under their clothing as they go about their daily active lives.

Well-fitted bras will provide a smooth and appealing shape and also provide support to help preserve the breasts from drooping in mature age.

What to Look for in a Bra for Older Women

You shouldn’t forgo wearing a bra because you are getting older. You simply need to find one that fits you well and that is comfortable to wear.

Quality

Quality bras are made of durable fabrics and solid components (sliders, closures, etc.). Look for carefully designed and well-constructed bras. Typically, quality bras cost more than the fast-fashion bras.

Comfort

We spend a lot of time in our bras, so comfort is essential. It’s important to try on a bra before purchasing it to make sure that you feel good in it.

Quality bras will be comfortable and not have any components that scratch or irritate your skin. Wider straps usually are more comfortable than the thinner ones.

Support

The main reason to wear a bra is to provide support for your breasts. Depending on the size of your breasts, the bra will need to meet certain requirements. You may not need supportive underwires if you have smaller breasts.

Coverage

Trends come and go. This is also true in the bra industry. You may be tempted to go for the lacey cute demi-cup, but make sure that it is the right fit for you. If you want ultimate comfort and no bulges, look for bras that cover more of your chest and that offer wide side pieces.

What Are Your Needs

Whenever you purchase a new bra, consider your specific needs.

Physical Conditions

Those with arthritis and other health issues that hinder regular movements will appreciate bras with front closures and velcro fastenings. These bras make it easier to put on and take off.

Lifestyle

Lifestyle is important when choosing a good bra. Do you do a lot of sports? Look for bras with lots of support and coverage.

Budget

Bras vary greatly in price. Typically, the best quality bras are more expensive but tend to last longer and can put up with lots of wear and tear. If you’re on a limited budget, check for sales and promotions.

How to Get the Perfect Bra Fit

Chances are you’re wearing the wrong bra size as you’re reading this. Studies have shown that up to eight women out of ten are not fitted properly. This can happen because you simply got used to purchasing a certain size and stuck to it.

An ill-fitted bra doesn’t only look bad, it can also cause health issues like back and shoulder pain.

The body undergoes continuous transformation, and your bra size can change as well throughout your life. In order to determine the right shape and size for you, you can look for helpful videos online, such as these ones from Her Room, or get fitted by a bra specialist in specialty lingerie stores.

Most of these websites offer assistance in finding your perfect fit. Some have questionnaires for you to answer and others have live chats with fit technicians.

Finding your perfect fit is worth the time and effort. I hope that one of these bras for older women on my list meets your expectations.

The Best Individual Lashes for Casual or Glam Looks

Whether you want your lashes to look wispy, fluffy, or ultra-long, false lashes are usually the way to go. And the best individual lashes allow you to customize to create your own unique look for every day or a special occasion. Yes, they take a little bit of practice but once you have them down, you won’t know how you lived without them. Grab your tweezers and some lash glue and you’re already on your way.

Once you get them down, you’ll find that individual lashes feel more comfortable and look a lot more real than strip lashes. That’s often because you can play around with the placement and the size of your lashes. That makes it look like they just grew out of your eyes that long.

All of these lashes feel natural (even the longest ones) and are cruelty-free and vegan. Plus, it doesn’t matter your budget because these falsies start at less than $3. Choose Adell and Kiss lashes for short, everyday varieties, Sephora Collection and M.A.C. for a mix of lengths for a customized look. Or go all out with Lashify’s starter kit that includes all the bonders, tools and lashes you need.
