Aging

ByMelanie Aman

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.
