5 Ways to Get Holiday Party Ready in 30 Minutes

Go For A Hair "DO": If you’re still clinging to your big bangs, a “Rachel” cut from the 90s, or a Victoria Beckham inspired bob from the early 2000s, it’s time for a change. Your new ‘do doesn’t have to be a radical departure from the style you’ve got, just something that defines you in the “now” rather than the past. When you present yourself as contemporary, others will mentally deduct years from your age. If you’re not sure what “now” is in the world of hairstyles, flipping through magazines is a great way to learn the newest trends. A simple, poofy ponytail or well-placed plait only takes minutes and can really turn your look around, without a trip to the salon.

Polish Your Smile: Studies have shown that smiling generally makes people appear younger and more attractive to others. However, if your smile flashes neglected, discolored teeth, it will add years to your appearance. Aside from basic hygiene, such as brushing at least twice daily and regular flossing , you can whiten your teeth a shade or two naturally. If you can stand the smell and taste, a sea salt and vinegar tooth scrub is an excellent whitening agent. So is a homemade paste of basil, olive oil, and baking soda.
