So I must admit that I don’t really like the whole aging thing! Lol So I am just doing my best to eat healthy, exercise, and of course take care of my skin! I know there are ways to help prevent wrinkles and discoloration! My mom always told me to stay out of the sun (which is hard) so always tried to guard my face from it. I am going to try to pass that on to my daughters, too! One magic weapon I have grown to love is vitamin c!! I started using a vitamin c serum a couple of years ago and really like it! Vitamin C has so many things that will benefit your skin! It boosts your skin’s collagen production which can help make it more firm and help plump out those fine lines and wrinkles! Another big thing is it can help prevent more wrinkles from forming. It helps fight free radicals and damage that are caused from the UV rays from the sun. I also started using this vitamin c powder by Philosophy that you can mix in with your daily moisturizer or serum. I got it during a sale promotion at Ulta, but it may become a new staple for me in my beauty routine! I will take anything that will help protect my skin and fight this whole aging thing! ;) If anyone has any favorite products that you love please send them my way!

So being a 37 year old woman, sometimes it is hard to determine what should be in my wardrobe. I’m sure there are some women that can relate, and I can imagine it won’t get any easier the older I get. There seem to be hidden “rules” like I actually read an article that said you shouldn’t wear hoop earrings when you turn 30 – say what?! (I’m definitely not following that one) Or the fact that my mom has been trying to get me to cut my hair since I had Olivia (I think she has given up) – that old “rule” that you should cut your hair after becoming a mom – I get that it is easier, but I will know when I’m ready to cut mine ;) Although I know there are some things I shouldn’t be wearing (like the things I wouldn’t want my own daughter to wear!), and some things that I need to embrace that you can’t always change with age aka those darn wrinkles.
But I do believe there are things that can make me feel better as a woman and things that I do have some control over like not feeling bad about keeping up with the trends or wearing something that a 20 something woman would wear. And if someone says you shouldn’t then I mean who needs that kind of negativity in your life? And it’s a plus when it is a trend like the high-waisted jeans that I’ve been loving– They are so comfortable and look great, too! And really don’t think I can do anything else other than that or a mid-rise anyway! And I admire those women that are older than me that continue to stay “fashionable” (There are many of you out there, and I’ve seen your great taste in jewelry ;) - They are inspiring to me, and I hope I can do the same one day . So I’m going to keep wearing my over the knee boots because 40 is the new 30 anyway, right? ;) #thisis37 |
