Hi awesome ones, well have you bought something recently that was justified or maybe you bought
something that you automatically buy year after year? Well what I decided to do because I always
like to share my personal life with all of you, I decided to share 10 things that I won't
buy anymore and you know what they range from Fashion to Hair Care. So let's get started with
my tip number one. So years ago when my blow dryer stopped working I thought to myself, you know what,
could I just maybe find a time during the week to let my hair kind of air dry? And it's actually been
years since that decision. It's been working for me and the only time that I really have my hair
blow dried because I'm really trying to save it from all that damage right is by my hair stylist
or sometimes I'm at a hotel and then I really have to use the hotel hair dryer. Now let's stay
on the topic of hair care because I decided I'm no longer going to buy the cheap you know kind
of sudsy shampoo that really strips my hair of its natural oil. I'm actually going to
save money because I also have tried and it's working for me for years to just wash my hair
once a week. If you haven't tried this you may want to because it really for most of us we really
don't have to wash our hair every other day. Now the products that I use now are the Moroccan oil
shampoo and conditioner and also my hairdresser uses the davines products. I'm using the Nounou
new shampoo and the new Nounou conditioner. And by the way I'll have a lot of these products including
the products that my hairdresser uses underneath the links and also in the comments. I'm going
to be showing some fashions in a few minutes too and I'll make sure I've got those for you. Oh and
by the way both the Davines and the Moroccan oil they both have purple shampoo and that's for us
that have you know silver hair, gray hair and you use those products every fourth wash. All right so
what's tip number three? Well I won't be buying any 'Loud Neon Colored Outfits' or you know those
'Big Graphics'. Well first of all I'm not a size zero anymore so those big patterns, big Graphics they're
going to make me look larger and I don't want that. Instead I'm going to go for maybe smaller florals.
I also love the houndstooth design and also I love polka dots. So hey and by the way you know those
neon colored outfits well I think they're just a fad and they're going to be out of fashion in no
time. So for me it's just a waste of money. Alright so for number five it has to be, 'I am No Longer
Wearing Shoes that are Uncomfortable'. I'm no longer wearing stiletto heels and also I have a wide foot
so I'm no longer going to try to squeeze my foot into a narrow shoe and just hope that it's gonna
stretch because it never never does. Instead of the stiletto heels I'm opting for the kitten heels. I'm
not too sure if you can see this okay, but put it over here, but this is the size that I go for now.
I can buy them in pumps. I can buy them in sandals. They're absolutely beautiful and another kind of
shoe that I really like in sandals and also in shoes are flats. So I've got a couple of flats
here that I absolutely adore. These are Skechers and these ones these feel like slippers. Also from
Crocs if you're looking for a really nice sandal love love these ones from Crocs. And again I'm
going to have the the links for you for all of those shoes underneath the description and also
in the comments. Oh I forgot to mention. You know how there's a size chart for most items that you
buy online, well there's also a size chart where you can measure your feet. I mean the width of
your foot the length of your foot and that way it really really helps to get the right size. Now the
other thing is if you do order a shoe and it's just too tight send it back don't wait don't try
to stretch it out. Just send it back and maybe get a half size larger or maybe you know one of the
wide widths. All right so next item next item that I won't be buying anymore are 'Under Wire Bras'. Nope
they are really uncomfortable and they're even saying that they're not a good thing like they're
not really healthy for women either. I have found a lovely bra here it's by Warner's they've
been around for a long time. I don't know if you can see that okay, it's got a little bit of padding
in it it comes in more colors than just this but it's got some really great you know it's Warner so
it's got some really good support underneath and this helps to keep everything in place. So that's a
really really nice bra to have. Also if you haven't been measured for a bra size in a long long time
maybe even decades I would suggest that you go to a specialty store and have yourself measured. I was
just in Victoria's Secret the other day and they do do that for people. So there's another idea for
you. Get the right bra size and get one without the underwires. Wow we're on number seven already.
All right another thing that I'm not going to buy anymore are 'Leather Belts'. I am so done with
going to a nice restaurant wearing a belt and just feeling so uncomfortable. Nope for me I'm
now buying the elasticized belts. I call them the 'Stretchy Belts'. I have them in skinny.
I have them in wide and I even found a new one. I also have this in brown that goes with a pair of
jeans and it's nice and stretchy and I showed it to my husband and he likes it too. So from now on
no leather belts for him either. He's going with the stretchy ones. Next let's talk about hobbies
and activities even sporting things. All right here's a little story. I decided to go skiing again
and I thought yeah I used to ski I I'm gonna love skiing. went out and I bought some equipment.
Well I was out one time and I decided I don't want to be skiing on a regular basis. You know
I don't know what it was? Maybe it was the fear of breaking a leg at my age. Maybe it was because all
the snowboarders, you know the young snowboarders were just whizzing by me. I don't know you know
if you're invited to maybe a skiing event or maybe it's a tournament like a golf tournament
even for charity there are rentals out there. You don't have to go and buy all kinds of equipment
for yourself. Check into the rental situation and I'll tell you something you're probably going to
save a lot of money. Well the next items they might be a little bit controversial but, 'I'm No
Longer Buying Shorts or Capris'. All right so let's talk about shorts. They're no longer flattering on
me. I don't know I've tried all different kinds. They just don't look right on me. I'm going for
the skort a lot of you know that I love love love skorts and underneath the skort these are stretchy.
There are little shorts underneath see and they're kind of lightweight as well. And the skirt part
goes all the way around. There's pockets in them. There's a nice waistband to hold in your tummy and
so that's what I'm going to be wearing instead of the shorts. Now for the capris they really cut
you off at like the widest part of your calf. They are not attractive on me at all and so I'm opting
for the new style of the ankle length pants. You know it's just a little bit longer but it's not
only trending I think it's going to be trending for a while. It's also a little bit classier and
it makes my legs look longer and more attractive. All right so next, 'If it's Not Stretchy I'm Not
Buying It'. Now of course I'm talking about pants and skirts and skorts that sort of thing but also
jeans. I love the Lee jeans that are stretchy and one of my newest finds as most of you know
are the NY DJ jeans which stands for 'Not Your Daughter's Jeans'. And they're super stretchy also
they have recovery which is a very very important thing. You know when you stretch it stretches back
again. So these are lovely lovely jeans and again you know what? You're going to maybe a ball game
and you have to sit for hours or a concert and you have to sit for hours you don't want to be
in tight jeans or or tight pants or a tight skirt or anything like that. You want to be able to kind
of breathe in and breathe out and this really does do the job. And you know what? I'm so excited that
manufacturers are starting to realize that not all women are 20 years old and not all women
rather are a size zero and hooray for that. And talking about not being a size zero or in my 20s
if you're looking for videos from a woman who's maybe closer to your age I would love love love
for you to subscribe here. There's a button down there somewhere and also don't forget to click
on the bell. Nowadays I really really try to buy an outfit or a fashion piece that makes me feel like
I'm Aging with Attitude. It gives me that kind of vibe. I was recently interviewed this was
quite an honor by Women's World Magazine and if you want to check it out just go to their website
and look up Heather Hyde. And what they wanted me to talk about was how women feel invisible. and
you know what it's a real thing. It's a real thing that a lot of women feel invisible after 50. One
of the reasons is that they're stuck in a rut and if you've been buying the same bra size over and
over again or you're always reaching for you know black pants, black top and that seems to be your
uniform. I really suggest that you think about that and and just say you know I don't think I'm gonna
buy that anymore. I got enough of it in my closet anyway but I think I'm gonna go for a change and
I think I'm going to try to get my groove back and for me it's just one more way to keep it awesome.
