OK, I'll bite. As someone who "let herself go" also, I could use some ideas, inspiration, support, whatever. And this, for me, is just GAL and self-care. H will not notice, and I don't care whether or not he does. I need to feel better about myself and how I look an feel. I'm starting my life over again, not that I want to. But I'll have a new job soon (I hope!) and no longer have to concern myself with whether H will like my hair, makeup, what I wear. So I'm trying to think of it as a fresh start.

So--what has anyone done that has made a big difference in your confidence about your appearance? Guys--what do you notice about women ~50 who you consider attractive?
