Book Review: 7 Years Younger Instant Makeovers

Disclosure:  I received a copy of 7 Years Younger Instant Makeovers  for purposes of facilitating this review. 

Earlier this year, Hearst Books released 7 Years Younger Instant Makeovers! It is the latest book in the trusted anti-aging series, 7 Years Younger. The first book, 7 Years Younger, was a New York Times best seller and was backed by Dr. Oz! The second, 7 Years Younger: The Anti-Aging Breakthrough Diet, has been a runaway hit with readers. One blogger said, “This is not a diet, but rather a lifestyle change to teach yourself eating healthy is fun and with realistic foods.”

7 Years Younger Instant Makeovers, by the editors of Woman’s Day magazine, is packed with 101 instant makeovers, quick and easy tricks to make you look and feel younger in an instant. With simple tricks on how to apply the right make up, which haircut compliments your bone structure, which foods help brighten your hair and skin along with advice on how to reduce stress, get fit, and sleep better, 7 Years Younger Instant Makeovers helps you make over your look and your life. Every tip and trick within the pages were tested (and re-tested) on real women.

I found a ton of great tips in 7 Years Younger Instant Makeovers and wanted to share one of my faves:  Plumping Up Thinning Lips.  As we get older, our lips lose collagen and besides plumping them with those expensive collagen treatments, there's little we can do about it.  Well, there is a little something we can do.  Simply keeping your lips moisturized can help us keep that full, younger lip look.  

The diva in me loves lipstick and the practical me loves lip balm.  I've learned to use the two together to keep my lips looking their healthiest.  Check out my before and after pics below.

The before pic shows my lips with a moisturizing lip balm.  I use a balm with a high SPF to help protect my lips and keep them soft.  The after pic is a nude lipstick.  The lipstick also contains SPF and makes my lips look full and adds just a hint of shimmer and shine.  Ooh la la.

7 Years Younger Instant Makeovers suggested I consider applying an anti-aging treatment at night to keep my lips smooth and soft. 7 Years Younger Instant Makeovers also suggest a really quick tip: USE RED LIPSTICK. "Recent research actually showed that a redder lip makes women look younger. Why? It creates a strong contrast against the rest of your facial features and skin tone."  What a great tip and I've never met a woman who couldn't rock red lipstick.

Jeepers! It's January Hop

Happy New Year! What better way to kick off the new year than with a giveaway! I am so excited to join The Mommy Island, The Kids Did It and 90+ other fab blogs in the first big giveaway hop of 2018! Here’s your chance to start the new year off with a win. One lucky Three Boys and an Old Lady blog reader will receive a $15 Walmart eGift card. $10 may not seem like a lot but it’s enough to stock up on some last minute Christmas clearance gifts. Trust me. I bought a 6’ Christmas tree WITH lights, 2 animal massagers, 3 Jelly Belly BeanBoozled Jelly Beans Mystery Bean Dispenser, Christmas cards and wrapping paper less than $20 during an after Christmas Walmart shopping trip. I was searching for some cough syrup when my friend’s kid spotted the Jelly Belly BeanBoozled Jelly Beans Mystery Bean Dispenser on sale for 50 cents. What a steal! The regular price is $10 so to find them on sale for 50 cents was a deal. We cleared the shelves. A few rows down we spotted some anima

Maple and Brown Sugar Air Fryer Bacon

I've been raving about my Instant Pot but now I have a new favorite... the Air Fryer.   O M G This thing is amazing!  I don't know why I was so late to the Air Fryer craze but I am so glad I am finally onboard.   I've been talking about getting one and then after my aunt posted pics of her new air fryer, that was it off to Best Buy I went.   I wasn't sure how big of a unit I would need but I figured the 2.5 liter would suffice.  I chose the Chefman Express.  It was priced on the shelves for $85 but online for $75.99 and my local store matched the price AND I had my Swagbucks Best Buy QR code so I got 500 SBs + 2 SBs for every dollar spent so that's another 170 SBs.  So, after discounts, my air fryer ended up costing me less than the sale price.  Woohoo! There were some fancy ones on the shelves with digital display but after checking the reviews I figured since I don't fry much this model would suffice. When I think of fried foods, I think

A Pit Stop at Sho Nuff Hot Tamales in Greenville, Mississippi

My cousin and I were driving along and our tummies were rumbling as we crossed the Mississippi state line on US-82.  We didn't really have any particular dish in mind for lunch but we started seeing signs saying "Hot Tamales". "Hot Tamales", my Philly cousin asked. "Yep", I replied nonchalantly.  "I remember reading something about hot tamales being a big thing here in the Delta."   We kept driving and finally decided we would have to try these famous Mississippi Delta hot tamales. Now to decide which one.  There were literally dozens of tamale spots.  We happened upon a restaurant called Sho-Nuff and decided it was the one. We parked and entered the large, delightfully decorated restaurant.  The wall was plastered with local and national awards in recognition of those hot tamales.   There was a sign touting Sho-Nuff as the winner of the local newspaper's favorite restaurant award and 3rd place winner in the annual  Delta Hot Ta
