I'm learning a lot in this season of life. How about you? I've learned that I can't really see my face unless I use a five-times magnifying mirror. I look much younger in the regular mirror (only to me of course) but when I use the five-times mirror...things come into focus that I didn't even know were there....like chin hairs and whiskers and trenches in my smile line and the eyes.. we'll just call them creases. But it's the little hairs I can do something about. I've even bought a little electric thingy that will shave inside my nose! Who would have ever thought???? I've never had my eyebrows waxed but I give them a regular tweezing. Then there's the coiffure....where did those grey hairs come from? There's a few wiry little guys that love to prance on top of my head. I've found some delightful hair products that make my mane look thick and tame the corkscrews. AND my beautician has found a process that highlights the color I still have.
It's rough staying presentable in this fifty-five plus stage of life but it's worth it. My five year old commented with concern to his mom the other day as they passed thru a restaurant drive thru ..."that lady looks like she is going to die soon." She was older than me and very wrinkled....since I don't want my grandkids thinking that about me yet, I'll keep sprucing up what I can.
Any tips you have to share, I'd appreciate!
