You know you're getting old when...
1. You and your teeth don't sleep together.
2. Your try to straighten out the wrinkles in your socks and discover you aren't wearing any.
3. At the breakfast table you hear snap, crackle, pop and you're not eating cereal.
4. Your back goes out but you stay home.
5. When you wake up looking like your driver's license picture.
6. It takes two tries to get up from the couch.
7. When your idea of a night out is sitting on the patio.
8. When happy hour is a nap.
9. When you're on vacation and your ENERGY runs out before your money does.
10. When you say something to your kids that your mother said to You, and you always hated it.
11. When all you want for your birthday is to not be reminded of your age.
12. When you step off a curb and look down one more time to make sure the street is still there.
13. Your idea of weight lifting is standing up.
14. It takes longer to rest than it did to get tired.
15. Your memory is shorter and your complaining lasts longer.
16. Your address book has mostly names that start with Dr.
17. You sit in a rocking chair and can't get it going.
18. The pharmacist has become your new best friend.
19. Getting "lucky" means you found your car in the parking lot.
20. The twinkle in your eye is merely a reflection from the sun on your bifocals.
21. It takes twice as long - to look half as good.
22. Everything hurts, and what doesn't hurt - doesn't work.
23. You look for your glasses for half an hour and they were on your head the whole time.
24. You sink your teeth into a steak and they stay there.
25. You give up all your bad habits and still don't feel good.
26. You have more patience, but it is actually that you just don't care anymore.
27. You finally get your head together and your body starts falling apart.
28. You wonder how you could be over the hill when you don't even remember being on top of it.

Can I get an AMEN???
Truth be told...we have all heard these funny things...but some of them are SO VERY TRUE!!
So why am I bringing this up?
Well...I have heard myself saying some incredible things the past few months...things like:
"I used to love Winter, but now I just hurt."
"This year, I will have known you for 20 years." (that number is only increasing!)
"Why am I yawning at 9:30?"
"Where did the wrinkles below my eyes come from?"
"Why is my skin not bouncing back after I pull on it?"
Seriously though...all of these things have come out of my mouth recently. I am constantly reminded that I am not getting younger. Now, don't get me wrong. There is a lot of beauty that comes with age...Drew Barrymore anybody? I'm just sayin...
But then there are the dreaded things that come with aging...like poor eyesight, soreness in places you never thought possible, things you could do yesterday are harder today, your skin isn't as elastic as it used to be. The list could go on and on.
And because I was feeling these things...especially with my skin and my face... I had to do something. Girls, I literally looked in the mirror and had no idea how these signs of aging popped up on me. So, I decided to take a look into my arbonne supplies. I came across this:
As many of you know, I have taken some steps to keep my skin looking healthy by using the Arbonne Perfecting Liquid Foundation...a choice I am SUPER happy about...along with using the Re9 advanced anti-aging system. I LOVE my products. I like knowing that I am not putting that nasty mineral oil or left over buffet food on my face and body! (click on the link to see my post on that!) And I am very happy I added this little supplement to my regimen. It has a blend of rejuvenating skin supporting nutrients, including the Arbonne Antioxidant Skin Support Blend, with Vitamins A, C, E. Bilberry fruit extract, quercetin, alpha lipoic acid, coenzyme Q10, vitamins A, C, D and E which gives your skin the nourishment it needs on the inside to maintain a more youthful appearance on the outside. I have been using it for a week and I can already tell how much it is helping me. I don't like to go anywhere without make up, but now I don't mind. It really helps that I am being consistent with my Re9 Anti-Aging Skincare along with taking the supplement. But that's the way anything works right? I mean...you can't lose weight and keep it off if you aren't being consistent. So yay me! I just had to share this little piece of heaven with you!

What are you doing for your skin?
XOXO,
