Long hair at any age?

I am tired to read and hear that after 40+ women should not:
1- wear mini skirts (please someone go and tell Jennifer Lopez, Gwen Stefani,
Halle Berry and all the rest).

2- Do not let your hair grow long. Oh really. I love how it looks on Demi Moore, Salma Hayek and so many more.

There are a lot of myths about age. At what age we are old is a matter of perception. Middle age or being called elderly varies by country. In Latin America a woman becomes "older" or "mature" after 30 and in Japan after 25.

There is no limit to wearing long hair, or at least it should not be dictated by a rigid principle that no one knows how it was formed. I like how Frederick Fekkai puts it, "It depends on the age of the hair not the person."

There are people who cannot wear long hair at any age, because their hair is too thin, or their faces are too small, or their frame is too small and the hair will overwhelm them.

I personally like long hair and I think it is sexy and offers versatility. Like any thing else in life, long or short hair should be a matter of personal style and personal characteristics and not dictated by who knows who.

Lancôme's Absolue Precious Cells

Lancôme newest skin care line will use stem cells to help the skin regenerate faster. Stem cells are a new technology in skin care and it is both very promising and controversial.

But according to Happy magazine (a trade publication for the cosmetic industry) "But while more companies are jumping on the stem cell bandwagon, many dermatologists and industry observers remain unconvinced about the efficacy of the material."

According to Lancôme, the new line will offer visible results in about 28 days with marked improvement (20 to 30 percent) in numerous signs of aging in about two months (about 300% improvement in wrinkles).

The line is also formulated with their Basal-Reconstruction System complex, based on cells from the fruit of the Malus domestica tree, and Proxy-Lane, L'Oreal's patented anti-aging molecule.

The line is directed at women in their 50s. According to WWD, Absolue Precious Cells will debut in most markets in September. It will be launched in the U.S. in October and in Asia in January.

Absolue Precious Cells' Day Cream with SPF 15 will cost $145 and Night Cream will cost $145, Eye Cream will cost $95.

Emma Watson for Teen Vogue

Emma Watson is in the cover of the new Teen Vogue Magazine USA. She is not the little girl anymore. She has grown into a pretty teen.

I love the pictures and the selection of dresses for Emma, who said in the interview that her style is very English. I like the mix of sort of vintage inspired and modern almost Goth or modern rock like pieces.

I also like to see that there is fashion for teens that do not look to revealing. Perhaps the preppy Gossip Girl has inspired some of this.
