      Dressing your age can be an ambiguous road to travel, as there is a fine line between a fashion choice that makes you look younger and clothes that are simply too young for you. Fashion expert Gretta Monahan gave us tips for women to look and feel their best at any age. She encourages women to avoid giving a message of insecurity with their style choices –they should be comfortable with their age and stage in life.

By choosing fruits and vegetables that pair well with low alcohol content liquors, you can have all the flavor and a fraction of the calories. This means muddling strawberries, peppers or cucumbers to mix with your liquor of choice and avoiding prepackaged mixers, which are packed with extra hidden additives like corn syrup and can skyrocket a drink's calorie count.
