Putting my face on

[alphabassettgrrl]

That Dove ad was really interesting. They can do some amazing things with the computer. I saw a site once that was showing all the things they could do for your models to "fix" their "flaws".

And I agree- every girl should feel beautiful just as she is.

Sunscreen? Absolutely. Face, neck, hands, ears. Fifteen usually but higher if I know I'll be in the sun longer. My hands are starting to look like old lady hands; I wasn't always so good about the sunscreen.

Yeah, when I looked at my hands one day I sort of freaked out. They had always looked the same; pudgy little girl hands. The same hands I'd looked at all of my life.

And then they were my mothers hands.

I remember sitting in her room watching her put on all of her creams, Ponds being one and then some cream, Esoterica? for the brown spots.

Now this has me thinking, the nails. When do nails start to look 'old'? What can be done for this????? {those of you who know what I am talking about, well, you know what I mean...}

My feet seem to look alright....for a hobbit....

And yes, we all need to feel that we are beautiful because it isn't all just what people see. When I had put on weight, some people told me that my husband was going to leave me because I didn't look like I had, sort of like I bait and switched. I was so very insulted. Didn't he marry me, for my qualities, not me for what I looked like? How sad and shallow. {oh, and he didn't leave me, I guess it was my qualities...and definitely cooking not being one...}
