Love the Skin You're in!!!

So...30...is the time when you feel like there is no time to turn the clock back! The damage is done! I have bowed down and am trying Oil of Olay.

I feel like the wrinkles that are starting are just going to keep getting wider and longer. The dark circles under my eyes are just going to get deeper and darker...like the dark depths of the ocean. So I turn to products!! In my younger days...I looked at these products as things "old people" use. Well now...I am that "old person".

My get young again squad...which compiled of myself, Reese and Marli went on a mission to Wallmart to get my collection of secret potions to get my face back to the younger years. I was feenin for this crap! I was reading labels and directions...urning for things that said, "firmer, smoother, lightening!". I do look in the mirror these days and see another person. I see a woman that is more confident, more sure of why I am here on earth, more accepting of all the curves God has given me. But I also see things that I never knew would happen to me. I thought I would be 25 forever! This is not the case.

I will age in a way that is like no other. I am okay with that. These products I have bought to make me feel younger is just that. There is nothing wrong with wanting to feel your vibrant self. Wanting others to know you are taking this next step in your life with acceptance and vulnerability.

If a small bottle of eye serum makes me walk out of my front door with my shoulders back and my head held high...well...I will dot that cream on ever so delicately and face the world with a smile from ear to ear.
