Hairstyles for Women Over 40 – Mature Women 40 Plus Color and Long Hairstyle Rules

Just for fun, I did some online searches on what the best hairstyles for women over 40 are and saw pictures of new hairstyles for women, especially women over forty. The so-called fashion and hairstyle rules about women over 40 years old not having long hair make me laugh. I’m now 51 years old now and my hair is still long, past my shoulders, and shall remain long for as long as I choose.

The hairstyle “experts” and fashion gurus offer a plethora of advice for mature women 40 plus years old regarding hairstyles for older women, saying that most women over the age of 40 should not have long hair. Experts say older women should opt for a short and layered “sassy” looking hairstyle that might be called “trendy” for women who are more “mature” in age.

10 Reasons Why People Don’t Go to Church Anymore

Churches around the US have changed over the years, where multi-site churches mean pastors are able to reach thousands of would-be church attendees on the web, says USA Today. In an interview with pastors Tim Keller, Mark Driscoll and Ed Stetzer, the “old fashioned”, traditional churches from grandma and grandpa’s time are going by the wayside and are being replaced by what is often referred to as the “mega church” with thousands upon thousands of church members.

Having visited a few “mega churches” over the years, such as the Potter’s House and a few others, witnessing the burgeoning growth of large churches and the increased numbers of online internet churches has been interesting to say the least. To say this ain’t your grandma’s church anymore is an understatement.

It’s The Thought That Counts – Thoughtful Gift Giving

When giving gifts for any occasion, it’s the thought that counts. Being a thoughtful gift giver means we have taken the time to carefully think about the gift recipient’s personal interests, needs, wants, likes and dislikes, in order to find an appropriate gift to give from the heart.

Being thoughtful is defined by personal qualities like being kind, giving, considerate, attentive, appreciative, helpful, caring, loving, and giving mindful thought towards the comfort and good of others. Kids learn the thought counts very early in life, and teachers appreciate thoughtful gifts from schoolchildren, so why are thoughtful gifts given such a bad rap?

Reuse Old Stuff – Recycle Your Old Stuff For New Creative Uses

Do you use and reuse stuff around your house in a creative effort to “go green” and save money by recycling, instead of having to buy new stuff all the time? “Use it up, wear it out, make it do, or do without” is apparently an old proverb that’s been around for a long time and it makes a lot of sense, but I’ve yet to learn its origin or the author’s name.

I’ve read a lot about smart living rules, simplifying our lives and finding new ways to recycle and reuse stuff we have around the house that used to be thrown in the trash can as soon as the container was empty. I used to think that recycling clothes was just a matter of donating jeans, sweaters, shoes, old shirts etc to charities like Salvation Army or Goodwill, but I’m learning so many other ways to recycle or reuse clothes and other stuff around the house.

I’ve been happily surprised to read so many great ideas on how to recycle just about anything, and that includes clothes, books, magazines, household items and more. The list of things you can recycle is virtually endless, and I’m doing my best to learn more about recycling as fast and easy as I can.
