It’s timeto shed the sweatpants and sweatshirts,UGGS and ill-fitting work-out clothes.Last month, I even went for a manicure andpedicure, as it has been more than two weeks sincemy second vaccine shot. And I feel safe - maybe notinvincible, but safer.Instead of the dark red shades I went in a totallydifferent direction and got Tiffany blue. I liked it somuch I am getting the same color again!I feel younger, brighter, and peppier just gettingthis beautiful shade. And now I am ready forclothing changes.I am setting aside my loose-fitting leggings andhave ordered green and blue.
