While there are plenty of celebrities in Hollywood who are running to the plastic surgeon as soon as they spot a wrinkle, there are also many, many admirable women who have chosen to approach aging gracefully and naturally. Instead of hunting for your favorite celebrities’ weight-loss secrets, embracing your natural beauty will not only save you your precious time and sanity but also reserve your hard-earned money for more important things like traveling, spending time with your grandkids or treating yourself every now and then.
