i literally spit my tea out at "34. Chin hairs are acceptable little friends that remind you, you’re not alone." That was such a good one. (and agree with months and little kids. there must be a cutoff.)
I agree with you totally, but I have no idea what 37 is. I did date 25-year-olds ( who had never heard of the Beatles) when I was 40-, and 65-year-olds who claimed to be fifty. One was a drama teacher at an exclusive school, had a toupee and took me on the identical date to Gastown in Vancouver - First the Irish bar and then the Indian restaurant primarily because he had Groupon. The second date, after the same Groupon rotation, he wanted to take me to his condo to show me his genuine John Lennon sketches, and I was squirming to try to figure out what to say to get out of it. Little drips of Grecian Formula were dripping down his sweaty neck. Just when I was about to say I had an early meeting with an important... He had an allergic reaction, and an ambulance came to take him away. I was shamefully joyful. did call the hospital to see if he was okay and he had been released. I so had I. Perf.
Forty-three years old is over-rated (so I've heard, wink-wink). I put Tretinoin on at night (I literally put it on right before I read this post!). In the morning, I put on a combo gel - Clindamycin Phosphate and Benzoyl Peroxide. Wish I'd had both creams in high school. Thanks a lot, Mom and Dad.
We love a skin care routine! You can use my math and stay 40 with me 💁🏼♀️ I’ve got my kid on an adapalene benzoyl combo gel and it works great! Also wish I had had that in high school 🙄
Omg thank you for saying that! I literally put the long hair part in to remind myself because I saw a cute *teenage girl with a bob on tv last night and thought “hmmm maybe I want a bob too” but no no I do not!
I wish I’d had these to hand when I was forty. I shall now follow them to the letter. If anyone notices the difference, I shall tell them “I’m being more Candy”.
Capeesh!! So good Candy. I'm 55 and my 40's were definitely my best decade so far, although I have 5 years left with my current decade. Number 5, 21 and 26 were the three I really felt - good place to be.

😂😂😂 it’s time to embrace the little fuckers. The chin hairs, not the children.
38 is how I feel at 38.

I fear Gastown might be the kiss of death for dates 🥴 37 is a RX retinol. You can get similar at the farmacia. Don’t be in your eyes!
"Never saying no to a fries, Caesar salad, Sauvignon blanc situation."
That sounds like a combo I need to try sometime.
You really truly do!
Will I accept my beard this fall then when I hit decade numero 4?
Yup ! You’d miss those little fuckers if they’re gone
I loved reading this. I'm happy for you that you're learning to appreciate life more. You deserve it!
Thank you so much Mark ❤️ 🙏🏻
Yes, babe!

Anyway, enjoyed reading your list! :)

Love. Yupped to so many except the long hair part because I was a fool and chopped it off and now have to live with the consequences 😭

I just trimmed off 4” and it’s still juuust past my butt. Will let my fleak frag fry ‘til I die.
I was grinning this entire read. Good words. Also, Clindamycin Phosphate.
Hi! Thank you! Also, Adapalene Benzoyl Peroxide.
But Sulfamethoxazole Trimethoprim?
never had that 🤷🏼♀️
Me neither 🤷♂️ but just look at all those letters 😁
I mean, it probably works with all those letters! 💊
I like being 26 because I’m still alive
Ya and 27 is next, which is such a good age!!
As long as you’re not a rock superstar. Then it’s a dangerous age that you can’t age by fast enough.
Fuck yeah
26... Just want to impress you.
