Happy Halloween

Happy Halloween! I can't believe that October has flown by so quickly. My office does not encourage things like dressing up in costume but wish it did. It would be nice to be someone else for the day. I think my best costume ever was a gypsy one that I did more than 15 years ago. My best Halloween memory was as a child there was one house where the man worked for an ice cream company so they gave out ice cream. That was the best. My neighbor across the street actually gives the kids money sometimes. He lets them dig out as much as they can get in their hand from a change jar. I saw where Reese and Jake went to a Halloween party this past weekend. I guess they are officially a couple or at least they are this week in tabloid world. Hope your Halloween is a good, safe one. I'm out.

My First Post/Britney Spears at 50

If you're reading this,welcome to 50isthenew30. I am a 50 something year old "girl" who still feels in many ways like I'm much younger. I plan to keep youthfulness along with aging fabulously. I have many and varied interests so when deciding on a blog couldn't narrow it down to just one topic so figured that this could encompass many topics depending on my mood or whatever, you the reader, wants to throw out there for discussion. Just a few of my favorite things; reading, working out, makeup, fashion, gardening, cooking, music. I do work and am looking for my next career after having worked for 30 years in one field pretty much. I am always looking for suggestions on books to read, movies to watch, makeup/skincare, etc.

With all that being said thought I'd start this off by just speculating on Britney Spears at age 50.
By then her children (at least the two she has now) will be in their 20's and probably giving back to her what she has given to her mother. If she continues her hardpartying ways her looks will definitely be affected even with all her money for surgery, facials, etc. I don't know about you but if I knew then what I know now I would definitely have laid off the sunbathing and used more sunscreen, eaten better and got more exercise. I do those things now to stay healthy but wonder how much better I could have been. So give me your thoughts good or bad on Britney at 50.
