How far to go in holding back the years?

Following in from the Judy Finnegan thread and the obvious dislike of plastic surgery amongst those on the thread, I just wondered how far are we prepared to go to? plastic surgery is apparently not favoured but what about Botox? Fillers? Hair dye? I've had cosmetic work done on my teeth(veneers), have my hair cut and coloured monthly and also have my nails done professionally every three weeks and also leg and eyebrow waxes. Most of my friends/family have their hair dyed as well, my best friend -also in her 60's- has a fab short, spiky cut in a lovely plum colour just now and she looks fab! My nails are currently a fetching shade of midnight blue!

NotTooOld I used to push/cut mine and they became ragged (norty girl). When I started using Avoplex or cream they seemed to grow over my nails, but have now settled down and are neater.
Avoplex is a bit expensive but lasts for ages, you can buy it in Boots and probably elsewhere. It is avocado oil.

Thanks, rosequartz. I'll get some of that.
