女人四十爛茶渣，男人四十一枝花

（Ah， finally， I slept till 6 this morning！ There is hope！）

女人四十爛茶渣，男四十一枝花。這句話聽了很多，每次聽到都 offend me to the core. 仔細想想，再周圍看看 （中國看，美國看，歐洲看，就差非洲還沒看），好像有一定的原因。

生活對大家來說都很累，對女人由其累。很多時候忙完家庭和公作，我們已沒有精力照料自己了。We tend to let ourself go. 最明顯的是外表，比如眉毛和頭發。其實隻要一點點時間就可以把眉毛修理整齊，頭發一樣。這樣說好像很虛榮，其實不然。因為人的外表是內心的體現。People do judge and the first chance they have is to judge your personal appearance. It's superficial, but it the truth. 更中要的是，the efforts that you put in shows you respect yourself, you care, you are a vital woman and you are desirable.

女人年紀小的時候都渴望 a happily ever after ending and we all want to find a good man to complete ourself. 其實無論怎樣過一生，關愛自己就離快樂不遠。在任何年齡都可以是一枝花，就看你肯不肯花一點心力了。

所以姐妹妹們，find a little time for you and just you, go to the spa once a while, get a pedicure sometimes, go buy the best face cream that you can afford and throw away those sweaters that you got 5 years ago. Find a Sunday afternoon and go shopping and pick a few good things for yourself. Have a glass of wine while fixing the dinner, trust me, 你的笑容會很燦爛！

It's not that hard to be fabulous!
