THE BEAUTY MYTH

Beauty is bogus. It just is. I’m exhausted. It’s all too much. It’s also a myth. Everyone’s interpretation of beauty is up to their own device. And opinions are rampant. Some are false ideas to us. Some are brilliant. Some we make up as we go along. It’s imaginary. And also a journey. One’s belief of beauty is certainly not the others. But let’s be honest. We, the collective souls floating around the space these days searching for serums that save us, searching for ideas to feel beautiful, it’s as intoxicating as it is tiresome. Some days I’m over it and I skip all the serums, or my hair is going gray because I don’t have time for an appointment and I feel like it’s just a big bunch of bogus. Then I wake up the next day, and it’s on. I want to feel pretty. And I think that’s the majority. We’re all winging it, but we all want to know what works. And yes, we all want to feel pretty. I’m over 40, and I try it all. And if I swore I’d never do Botox before this post, don’t call me a liar if I change my mind. And here’s why.

SAVING FACE

I'm kinda not into aging if I'm honest. But I know it's inevitable. And what I mostly don't like about it is knowing it's coming and that means time is slipping away and my babies will be grown before I know it. And then I just want to cry. But here's the thing, time moves despite how much you cry or don't cry, and crying makes a frown on your face and that gives you wrinkles (so they say). So in the meantime, I'm trying anything and everything that makes me feel like I still have a pretty face. Plus, Mom says your 40's are your best years so you better milk it. And for the record I'll still be trying anything and everything in my 60's so stay tuned.
