Tiffany Moon’s Blue Velvet Ruffle Dress at Southfork Ranch

Real Housewives of Dallas Season 5 Episode 15 Fashion

Although she may not be an Ewing, Tiffany Moon sure looks like Dallas royalty in the ‘80s-chic blue velvet ruffle dress she wears at Southfork Ranch on tonight’s episode of RHOD. Which I think we can all agree that when paired with *much* more minimalist hair, makeup and accessories can still definitely be rocked in this decade. 

Fashionably,

Faryn

At-home fitness has always been an appealing and convenient option for squeezing in an exercise session without having to commute to and from the fitness studio or having to get ready for work in a dingy gym locker room. But, it’s safe to say that working (out) from home has never been as desirable and accessible as it today. While many fitness facilities around the country are slowly beginning to reopen — with social distancing measures in place — many of us have already gotten used to, well, doing just about everything in the comfort of our own home, and working out is certainly no exception.

Tempo Studio is one of the pioneers in the premium remote fitness arena, allowing members to enjoy all the perks of working out in an IRL boutique fitness studio or one-on-one with a personal trainer in the safety of their home. This is made possible by the brand’s AI-powered fitness systems, which offer real-time guidance and feedback, 3D sensors to correct form, and it can even count reps for you. Plus, for as little as just $39 a month, you’ll get access to a huge selection of virtual, expert-led workout classes, ranging from HIIT and cardio classes, to targeted resistance training, stretching, yoga, kickboxing, and everything in between. Plus, there are new live and on-demand classes to choose from every day. Indeed, the future of fitness is actually already here.

The brand’s commitment to offering deluxe, innovation-forward, and research-driven technology just expanded even further. Now, Tempo has taken the digital fitness space to a whole new level, launching three new personalized bundles, each engineered to cater to the individual needs of every athlete, every fitness level, and every body: The Tempo Starter, Tempo Plus, and Tempo Pro. Customers are now able to shop Tempos packaged with fitness accessories custom-tailored to help them achieve and maintain their personal fitness needs and goals.

Best of all? From April 20 through 26, Tempo is offering $150 off your purchase when you use the promo code “Tempo_Spring.” This luxe home gym rarely ever goes on sale, so this is not a deal you want to sleep on!

Our mission at STYLECASTER is to bring style to the people, and we only feature products we think you’ll love as much as we do. Please note that if you purchase something by clicking on a link within this story, we may receive a small commission of the sale.

Monthly payments for the Plus Bundle start at just $90 per month or a one-time price of $3,245 ($3,095 when you use the promo code “Tempo_Spring”).

Tempo Pro

If you’re looking for an optimum home gym experience, the Tempo Pro bundle is for you. In addition to the AI Personal Coaching engine, $2,500 in accessories, and 3D sensor, this option also comes with every weight Tempo offers and built-in storage for extra convenience. Other deluxe equipment items you’ll get with this top-tier bundle include a foldable squat rack, a kettlebell system, and weight plate storage. Make the commitment to keep your health and priority this year and make the Pro Bundle yours for just $3,995 or as little as $111 per month. Use the promo code “Tempo_Spring” at checkout to bring the price down to $3,845.

Best of all, the drop of the three new Tempo bundles just so happens to coincide with the launch of the brand’s new and improved companion mobile app, which helps members of the Tempo community chart and monitor their goals and progress and offers access to My Plan, which prescribes personalized workout routines on a weekly basis. Whether you’re at home or on-the-go, the bundles and the app are designed to work for you—your schedule, your goals, and your workout preferences.

For the ultimate at-home gym experience that costs less than your monthly gym membership, look no further than the Tempo Studio. With these customizable bundle options, this compact fitness system comes with literally everything you need for a challenging workout without having to leave the house. If you do prefer to purchase any of the premium accessories featured in the bundle sets a la carte, you can purchase separately from their accessories selection. Oh, and if you’re worried about bulky fitness gadgets marring your chic home decor set-up, don’t worry. At just six-feet, the sleek design of the Tempo Studio isn’t an eyesore — it only takes up three square feet of floor space.

Ask almost any woman about her new grandchild and she will light up all over, like a young woman in love. Grandmothers are invariably thrilled to bits. Perhaps that is all we need to know. We have become grandmothers and we love it.

But for those with a naturally inquiring mind, an interesting question is – why? What is it about this new-found role that is so fulfilling? There are many answers.

Enjoying the Grandchildren

Let us start with the grandchildren. Of course, we adore them in all their different shapes and sizes. Some remind us of our own children – their parents – and feel we are living an earlier life all over again. Some are completely different and we cherish the novelty of their interests and personalities.

And it is fun to do things with them. To dandle a new baby on our knee, to get down on the floor and do puzzles with a toddler or take children to the park. Loads of activities which we did a myriad of times and thought we might never do again. Indeed, perhaps we got fed up then. Oh, dear, do I really need to read this story again? But now, we have time and we see the intrinsic pleasures much more readily.

And if you are an instinctive teacher, it is wonderful to teach them about the world. They have so much to learn and you have so much to give. This could be a matter of explaining facts, like the earth is round, or offering some form of spiritual guidance about how to live. There is and deep enormous satisfaction in the process. It is extraordinarily fulfilling to be able to offer new little beings your hard-won wisdom.

Being Pleased for the Parents

But having grandchildren is much more than that. It means that your children will have all the joys of parenthood. You have always wanted the best for them and, perhaps, spent hours talking about what they might want to do with their lives. But you also know that having children helps people to learn and grow into themselves. It is something you will probably have wanted for your own son or daughter, whether you thought about it or not.

What Being a Grandmother Does for You?

The part of being a grandmother that is possibly the most surprising is what it does for you. Yes, it is fun to play with the children. Yes, you want your children to be fulfilled. But there is something more than that. Having grandchildren does a number of much deeper things for a woman.

Many women feel that they were not the best of parents – perhaps they were just too young and inexperienced.  Or maybe they were too involved with their work or other issues. Having grandchildren provides an opportunity to do it again, to do it better and, in some small way, to make amends. It is that rare thing in life – a second chance.

As you grow older, you begin to think a little more often about what happens in the end. Has your life been worthwhile? Have you left something good behind?  Grandchildren necessarily represent the future. It may be that they will remember you over time. You may like to think that perhaps there will be a conversation, twenty or thirty years hence, that begins “I remember my grannie telling me…”

A corollary of this thought is the passing on of your genes. Perhaps you don’t think this is very important, but often people realise it has a meaning for them when they learn that it will never happen.

And finally, most surprising of all, is that the fact that you like yourself so much better when you are with your grandchildren. It is such a wonderfully innocent relationship, not so full of the guilt and anxieties of parenthood or the complex feelings arising from a marriage. You can relax and just be you. It’s not something we think about a lot, but if you do, you might realise that it is very self-affirming.

What do you love about being a grandmother? What has being a grandmother taught you about yourself? Please share your experiences.

One of the joys of being a writer in my 70s is editing out of my life all the things I really don’t want to do, don’t have time to do, or that other people mistakenly think I ought to do.

Run for Cover

Take running, for instance. I don’t run. I won’t run. I utterly refuse to run. And, you can’t make me. Look, every time I leave the house, I am passed in the street by some middle-aged jogger in unbecoming lycra, gasping for breath and puce in the face. You think I want to subject my elderly joints to being banged about on concrete? Do you?

All that guff about endorphins – forget it! I’m not destroying my knee joints by pounding the pavement and ending up in a wheelchair. The only exercise I do, as a writer of crime fiction is jumping to conclusions – or, letting my imagination run away with me. That keeps me quite busy enough, thank you.

Intoxication

The other expectation is that however old I get, I must always try to keep myself looking as youthful as possible, like all those (airbrushed) older celebs in women’s magazines. Nope. Not doing that either. I don’t botox, detox or retox myself. Sometimes I intoxicate myself with the odd glass of nicely chilled prosecco, but that’s as far as my toxing goes.

I’m past 70, FGS! These lines and wrinkles have been earned over the years. They are now practically vintage. They’re a wonderful part of getting older. I’m not going to give them away. No sirree. Nor am I going to have bits of me sucked out, plumped up, pushed in or pulled back. As for face gym and facials… oh please!

Let Nature Take Its Course

WYSIWYG (what you see is what you get), as we unreconstructed individuals say in response to the constant media bombardment of eye-wateringly expensive creams, pills, potions, fillers, scrubbers, buffers, and emptiers made from the placentas of rare South American armadillos, which promise to restore us to what we never were in the first place. Forget it.

Besides, if I paid out for all those cosmetics, I couldn’t afford to leave the house as I’d be flat broke. So you’d never know how wonderfully youthful I had become. When did it become de rigour to have to look 20 years younger? What happened to ageing naturally? It seems to me that all this grooming lark is just torture sold as pampering.

Be Happy

Finally, before I climb creakily off my soapbox, don’t expect me to do the “full Brazilian” thing. Down there. You know what I mean. And I absolutely refuse to vajazzle, or vadazzle. It’s too much vahassle.

This isn’t a criticism of other people, by the way. Oh no no. You go for it, all of it, if that’s your desire. Me, I’m decluttering my life of other people’s expectations. I will do exactly what I like doing – enjoying my family, friends, my food, books, flowers and my cat. May not be much of a life to some but hey, I know what makes me happy.

So how about you? Do you resist the constant pressure to “look younger?” Are you comfortable in your skin? What do you love most about getting older? Where’s your happy place?

There is no limit to the number—or extremity—of things we’ll do to our faces in the name of anti-aging, so when compared with the rest of them, facial massaging is extraordinarily tame. Silly, yes—but tame. Kate Moss employs a technique that is executed from inside the mouth, at the hands of London-based celebrity facialist Nichola Joss; Sienna Miller prefers an “intense facial massage” experience that involves freezing ice masks “that make you feel as if your brain is going to fall out of the top of your head.” Delightful.

Facial massage devotees swear that it boosts circulation and encourages lymphatic drainage for brighter, tighter, younger-looking skin—a natural facelift, if you will. But in the real, non-celebrity world, a standing appointment with a pricy, massage-trained facialist isn’t always in the cards, nor is the time, patience, or knack for following instructions required for giving yourself a thorough DIY version (as in, rubbing your own face with your own hands for twenty minutes at a time).

This is where the handheld facial massager comes in. The selling point is rather appealing: You can forget about expensive facials or having to figure out exactly where to place your fingertips on the part of your jaw where your lymph nodes are to get maximum drainage of, well, whatever’s under your skin.

The good news is that with the addition of these types of tools to the market, you, too, can now get a facial massage from the comfort of your desk, where you’ve been stagnating for the past nine hours. But should we all be rushing to get our hands on them in the pursuit of smoother, clearer, younger-looking skin? Maybe not so much. “There really isn’t much solid data to indicate that facial massagers offer any significant benefits to the skin,” says Dr. Julia Tzu, the founder and Medical Director of Wall Street Dermatology. “Massaging the face, in general, may help stimulate circulation, [especially] in the morning, to help speed up the resolution of the ‘puffy’ look that some people get when they wake up.” Still, Dr. Tzu notes, “This is often already performed when one washes the face.”

The placebo effect, however, is alive and well, which is to say that facial-massaging tools feel great and are therefore not purely B.S. If you believe in them, and want to see a difference, your brain might just be kind enough to trick you into thinking you do. Regardless, celebrities and customers of the below devices swear by them, so why not give one of them a shot yourself?

It’s engineered with microcurrent technology to reduce swelling, soften the look of fine lines and stimulates circulation by accelerating collagen production. “Not only does this make your face look less inflamed (or “puffy”) but it is both relaxing and invigorating (depending on how you use it),” says one fan of the tool.

Sarah Champman Skinesis The Facelift Facial Massager

This facial tool may look like a torture device, but trust me, it leaves you seriously looking snatched. Also, it’s Liv Tyler-approved. “I wanted this ever since I saw YouTube video of Liv Tyler and her face caring routine. She uses it, and she looks amazing!

NuFace Trinity Facial Toning Device

Using this lifting and contouring face tool is basically just like giving your facial structure a full-body workout. Fans of the NuFace truly swear by it (myself included). The NuFace Trinity device harnesses the lifting anti-aging powers of microcurrent technology, which stimulates blood flow, tones your contours and minimizes fine lines. You’ll see a slight difference after just one use. ” I’ve been using it for about 2 weeks and definitely see a difference in my skin. The biggest difference is my eyes. They are open and lifted and are not laying on my eyelid,” says one customer.

Angela Caglia Vibrating Rose Quartz Sculpting Roller

Believe me—this isn’t your basic jade or rose quartz facial roller (because frankly, I’m not convinced the typical ones of this type do anything for your skin). This sonic sculpting tool was designed by Celebrity-beloved esthetician, Angela Caglia who’s known for her lifting, cheek-sculpting facials, and this snatching tool helps you recreate the results from home.

RÉVOLVE Contouring Massage Roller

This luxe facial massager not only feels like a dream (it’s cool to the touch, so it’s amazing for de-puffing), but it also truly seems to work. The massager is made of Zamac, which is a premium alloy material that contains minerals beneficial to the skin, including Zinc and Magnesium. One “obsessed” reviewer of the tool says “I’ve loved using my roller in the morning before I leave for work. It’s amazing how effective it is.”

Nurse Jamie Uplift Facial Roller

Designed by celebrity dermatologist Nurse Jamie, this lifting and contouring face roller has become a bona fide cult favorite, beloved by celebrities and beauty influencers alike. The tool features a hexagon shape and features 24 massaging stones that instantly revive and lift the skin for a more chiseled appearance. “So I ordered this after seeing a bunch of posts on Instagram from lots of people who love the product. I was a bit skeptical, but now I’m a full-on convert. I adore my Uplift roller!” says one enthusiastic fan in her Amazon review.
