Summers bring on festivals of all kinds. Last weekend we had our Strawberry Days. This weekend, starting today, we have Country Jam. It is a huge music festival in Western Colorado. So far west it’s just a few miles to the Utah border. Which means it borders on a desert. Translation of the last sentence is it is very hot and sunny. I have been attending Country Jam for over 10 years and only recall one summer where it was cool. Actually, cool is an understatement, it was cold and storming and bands had to stop. I guess they weren’t game enough to play in the lightening while holding electrical instruments, go figure. The most important thing when enjoying the music is to keep hydrated and use the sunscreen if you can’t get into the shade. There are quite a few people who think that beer is hydrating, it’s not. Sorry, I know what a disappointment that must be for some of you. Seriously, if you want to drink, go for it, just drink a bottle of water in between the beers, or whatever you alcohol of choice is. Unless of course your goal is to look like a middle aged prune then by all means go out there and bake yourself into a drunken oblivion. I, however, will be the one with glasses, a hat and plenty of sunscreen sipping my water mostly and enjoying the great music of Lady Antebellum, Clint Black, Alan Jackson and Little Big Town just to name a few. Yes I do imbibe I just want to remember the weekend. Another pet peeve of mine is why is it that if you are going to a “party” atmosphere whether it be Country Jam or Vegas the dress could liken to that of what the oldest professionals were, and I am not talking white collar here either. What happens in Vegas really doesn’t stay in Vegas, it usually gives us all good stories to bring back and the occasional cattiness of OMG did you see what she decided to wear?! I am all about dressing up; I love my tall heels, but not at Country Jam as it is in a hayfield and would make it quite difficult not to break an ankle, although I have seen women there with platforms. If you want to get a man’s attention typically less is not more, it is just less, leave some intrigue. Most bodies look better covered anyway and you will have fewer parts that get burned. The key to looking young is protecting our skin. Some really important areas of the body that gets missed and can give your age away are your hands, neck and décolleté’. Remember to apply to these parts as well. I have updated fashion, beauty and the loss log this week. I hope you enjoy them.
As always Breathe Chic
