The Power of Products

Not all of my posts are meant to be glamorous, this is a blog after all. Today is my 35th birthday. I am thirty five. Mid thirty's. I keep thinking if I say it different ways 100 times over it will sink in. I don't feel 35, well some days I do. Where has the time gone? I look at my kid's faces and bodys every day and compare pictures and watch them grow at a rate that is beyond comprehension. I guess I don't like to think that I am probably aging at somewhat the same rate- hopefully a little less obvious.

I was standing in front of the bathroom mirror this morning studying my face. The lines, the way my skin is changing and digging around for a few gray hairs. I took difficult pause and said, "This is me. This is what I look like minus the makeup and straightened hair. This is 100% natural." I smiled and wondered if I would be brave enough to document an "undoctored" picture of my face. I decided that if any day was a good day to do this, today was perfect. A stamp in time, on my birthday to remember what I really looked like....then quickly getting out my makeup bag and chi hair straightener :)...

The Hair

Before: Brushed out. After: Moussed and air dryed. Had to document Ella's 2 year old fro.
