I pride myself on looking Fab especially when I am in public. I have eclectic taste, 'collect' unique jewelry and am known for coordinating jewelry with what I wear.
Did not have any real aging 'issues' until I was into my 50s. Having oily skin all my life became something of a blessing even though I still get a few pimples/blackheads due to large pores. No crows feet 'yet' but have the dreaded nose to mouth creases and vertical lines above my lip from years of smoking (NO MORE).
My body stayed pretty taunt until after menopause. I am 'stacked' and was blessed with good genetics. Never needed much exercise and had flat tummy and small waist. Then the 'spread' began. I can deal with some weight gain but this battle of the waist increase and tummy 'overlap' is disturbing and I want to do what I can to get rid of some of it.
