My natural hair color is dk brown with auburn highlights. Well @ 56 yrs young, it is almost all gray with white highlights. It does have a few brown lowlights. My DH loves it. My hairdresser does also and says he would not color it if I asked. LOL For years & yrs I wore it frosted pretty heavy. Now my mileage through life has done that for me. LOL

I don't wear nail polish except for special occasions because the tips of mine are so white, I don't want to stain them with polish. They are very strong & hard and grow fast.

Makeup: I wear mascara, a tinted lipgloss & just enough foundation to smooth out my complexion. I like a natural look. If I go out in the evening, I do wear heavier makeup and dawn lots of bling & glam. LOL

I decided to upload a recent picture of me (well, a year old). The curl is due to a perm, but the rest is me.

I wasn't but the salt and pepper wasn't too bad looking. So I quit. Now I'm 95% gray and it doesn't bother me a bit.
I've also stopped wearing colored nail polish unless I'm going to a wedding or someplace fancy. I used to put 3 coats on every 3 nights. This while I had kids in the house. How did I find the time?
I also wore padded bras that I padded more! Sad really....but it was either that or be called Mister. Now I'm glad that there's nothing to sag and bag...lol.
Those are my old grooming secrets. I guess I don't have any now.
What grooming secret are you keeping from everybody?

Not much bothers me, nail varnish on spec occ only.
BUT the most annoying bit is that my hair ,apart from the front where gray/whitish has gone DARKER -----awful, was quite fair not blonde but now ghastly dark brown ,so do occ have highlights-----------has anyone else gone darker?
