Wrinkle Cream.
So I bought wrinkle cream yesterday. I saw that picture below (again) and I got in the car and went to the store SPECIFICALLY to BUY WRINKLE CREAM. I have always sort of prided myself on the fact that I have been a little more relaxed about age than others. I hit 25 and didn't panic the way a lot of my other friends were. And when I turned 26 it didn't bother me much that people (kind friends) pointed out that I was now in my "late 20s". I didn't think twice about the latest big one, the big 2-7 on my birthday; it was just another day. And 30 has never scared me, really. But last week when I saw that picture of myself...something snapped! There were tons of wrinkles and what looks like age spots PLUS acne. Something is wrong with the world when you are getting wrinkles and you STILL have your acne. So I freaked out and went and bought the wrinkle cream. And I didn't buy the 2.99 one or the 5.99 one. No, I bought the 14.99 one because clearly it will work better because it costs more. Right?? All of a sudden I am super vain! Anyway, I guess the point is I am fine with BEING older, I just don't want to LOOK it!! What about you? Scared of age?

here's my latest trick... photoshop. :) doesn't really help with the real world... but if models get to virtually "nip and tuck" here and there to look even more beautiful than they already are, i can sure has heck do a little red-eye reduction, zap a few zits and add a little color to my cheeks.
now... let's talk about the $15 wrinkle cream... because i have what some might call an "addiction" to clinique. in order to maintain harmony in my marriage i have cut back on the daily rituals, but nearly every bottle of something in my house (with the exception of burton's $1.99 no-name brand shampoo) is in the $15 range. i think i have a problem... because i'm using it... and i'm still photoshop-ing. but i can't bring myself to STOP for fear it's just going to get worse with something cheaper. plus, me and my girl friend at the clinique counter are like BFF now... literally... we went to a movie together once. haha. i guess that's kind of weird.
Alison-you've got to stop pointing out things!! Now I'm all over my face like a fat kid on cake looking for le blemish.
Way to go wrinkly Al. Way to GO!
While I was in the shower the other day I started wondering how much that cellulite cream costs and how it could possibly worse.
And then I realized what I was doing. And I was scared.
how it could possibly WORK.
Sigh... I hate being an editor sometimes...
Jackie, you don't even have kids yet, honey. The best is yet to come. :)
