I'm officially 26 today. Is it just me or does any age past 25 just seem so OLD!? I always remember thinking of this age and thinking grey hair and wrinkles. It's funny; I'm still using a teenage facewash and an anti-aging face cream.
I think I'm confused.
Tim's teacher (who is turning 30 this year) summed it up quite well today. I said "I don't feel that old - but I'm looking for a new wrinkle cream if you know of any."
And she replied with a sparkle in her eye and said "I know I don't feel my age but it always gets me when I look in the mirror and think 'I actually look like a WOMAN now!"
I guess we are all little girls at heart.
I received many thoughtful emails, gifts, little gestures of love and even a loving sisterly ode on Hilsy's blog -- I appreciate all the amazing people in my life so much. My friend Sandra is taking me out for a yummy kid free meal tonight, and I am stuffing myself full of pasta and wine and not working out for even a second today!!! SO there!

Hon...I saw a beautiful lady today...she didn't look 83...but she claims that is her age. She had laugh wrinkles and beautiful skin...says she used Oil of Olay. You really don't have to worry about wrinkles yet...come on!!!
But if you are going to fret about it the best thing to do is laugh a lot and use moisturisers...you are already doing the right stuff!!

Happy Birthday! 23 was my favorite year, but 24, 25, and up until this point of 26, it's been really great too! Wrinkles/lines tell stories. I'm not necessarily looking forward to them, but i don't have any plans to get rid of them. :)
HAPPY BIRTHDAY JESS!! I think that 25 & 26 were great years, 27 even better and I'll let you know about 28. And as for wrinkles, there are much worse things in life, just remember that! I think you're beautiful!
