How Not to Age Yourself

This cream, that cream, this shot, that shot.

1001 ways to stay young and not age.

Call us obsessed, our culture.

My top 5 ways to stay young:

• Think young. It's all in your mind, really. All of those women you see who just don't seem to age? It's not just the botox. It's in their carriage.
• Dress your age. (Read: don't try to dress younger than you are - surefire way of revealing the numbers on your driver's license.)
• Eat well. Notice I don't say "eat healthy." Eat what you like when you like it. Just remember to like things that are also good for you. If you feel good, you'll look good - and look young.
• Drink well. Nothing like a glass of wine on a summer's day, or a cool cocktail on a summer terrace to relax you and make you feel completely pampered...thus making you look young.
• Don't grow a bump. Somehow, I'm not sure how, you can have a complete and total babyface, and suddenly, when you're obviously preggers, you become ma'am. Great. Way to make a gal feel special.

Tired Random Fashion Thoughts

1) Thank you, Greek Goddess and HuskyGirl for your recommendation. Until recently, I didn't wear jeans to work, even on Fridays. Now, they're the most comfortable thing (and screw it, I say). Except that the waistband is getting a teeeeeeensy bit tight. So - undid that button and got me a big ol' rubber band (the kind you get from broccoli or asparagus bunches). Looped that sucker around the button and button hole - oila! pants are a little more comfortable. Now, if I could just get this kid to stop kicking my @##.

2) Baby Sis' bridal shower tomorrow. Packed in a stupor last night. Kept it light. H&M b&w wrap dress + Daslu boots OR H&M black babydoll sweater + grey tweed pencil skirt + Daslu boots. Just depends on how I feel tomorrow - or rather, how big I feel.

3) Not necessarily feeling big yet, just a little thicker. You wouldn't notice it on me walking down the street. But it is starting to affect style choices a little.

4) I guess I really should check with Jenny Yoo to see when I have to send in my final bump-friendly measurements. I had to change dresses a little, given that the Alana doesn't come bump-friendly, so ended up with Sophia. So much for wearing it again.

5) Looking forward to:

- LA trip - will show H the City of Angels and see The Liquid Muse
- Greece trip - over Easter. Darn. Just have to go visit H's relatives in Chania, Crete. Darn.
- Bump arrival - but that's a given, isn't it?

Now I'll go try and stay awake for the rest of my work day.
