I am embracing my great auntiness with open arms, love being mistaken for their grandmother. Grey hair loving it, and have never, well only on my wedding day worn makeup. Hated it with a passion and wished I hadn't bothered.

I feel more sad for women who cannot cope au natural and feel their appearance needs enhancing. Perhaps I have been lucky to have been loved for me not for what I looked like.....

The newest by Lancome "Life is beautiful" is my current
love. It seems to last longer than Viktor & Rolf Flowerbomb Perfume.
What is your favorite?
Chanel No5 or Balmain's Jolie Madame or Estee or the original Chypre - for me even after all these years.
More modern ones and a bit cheaper - Kenzo Flower, Eden and Tahiti

Re: Favorite makeup

Oh definitely, classic Chanel N05 - and of course a Chanel handbag to complete everything!

Re: Favorite makeup

Chanel no5 smells like cats pee, of course it's all a matter of taste & pocket! Poison smells like fly spray! Why pay the prices!
There are people starving in the World.
Just thought I'd be controversial, not being "high maintenance" myself.

Really not for me thank you, a total waste of money as far as I am concerned. I have got more worth while things to spend my money on like supporting dogs in the local rescue center. Any old bag will do to carry around my few possessions .

Depends on which cat is wearing it, I suppose - sometimes the chemistry is not right and I agree it certainly is a matter of taste. I wear perfume simply because I like it - it makes me feel good. I also like the smell of Johnson's baby talc. Although unfortunately some things I like have a bigger cost, everything is relative and a little goes a long way. I don't think wearing perfume can be considered "high maintenance" and my not wearing perfume won't make any difference to the starving people in the world. I spend very little on hairdressers (maybe 3 times a year I have a cut - that's all of about £30 per year). I don't go to health farms or pampering salons. I pay nothing on my nails and one bottle of makeup foundation has lasted me over 2 years and is still going strong.
If anyone could actually see me on here, they would fall about laughing at the suggestion that I could be "high maintenance". Emotionally I probably am high maintenance, but that's not my fault.

Just bought a waist bag, only £7 from e-bay carries all my meds (epipens etc) and everything I need for dog walking including poo bags and treats, has a hanging thingy (technical term) for a water bottle so all occasions covered.

Leaves hands free so able to have two flexy leads or lunge leads on the go - best bag I have ever owned !

Gosh don't mention hairdressers with long hair it costs a fortune so I once a year give my husband the scissors and say cut straight across at the back it'll be fine, and sometimes I am right LOL others it takes a week or two to get used to.
