lol @ sweetheart,
I wouldn't say I'm currently 'in my prime', though thanks for saying it - I just no longer worry about lifes 'scars', lumps and bumps, if my makeup and hair is perfect, - lifes too short and I worried about all 'that' in my teens, twenties and thirties, hiding behind a mask of make-up, looking like a stick, being completely miserable and not being myself. Having my kids put me into perspective, I didn't have time for all that falseness - as all parents know you have to become totally selfless. Now I wear face and eye cream and feel happy to go out the door, smile and giggle like a lunatic totally 'naked' in my sloppy un-ironed clothes - life is good in my 40's and its never been better - bring on the next eight and a half years
To me a woman is best when she is happy,confident and natural with and about herself..unfortunately we..both genders..tend to strive to please others,its a waste of energy just be happy with yourself thats been my philosophy for many years now.
excaliber your exactly right, we should just be who we are and if other folks dont like it then its tough! If i ever meet any1 then they will hav to like me for who and what I am, lumps, bumps, grey hair, crazyness, I aint gonna change to make any1 happy
....he he well Ive always pleased myself..................scrub up well when needs be, love messing around in the garden or garage with me bike in "scruffs" hair tied up in a pony tail and no make up on................long as me music is on and the sun is shining Im happy and no one seems to think Im odd or complained about me looking scary yet lol!!! Just be yourself, its all you can be, happy, confident and live life as it pleases you .......looking good and feeling attractive is not only what is seen from the outside.............it shines through from the inside no matter what age you are! Thats my reasoning and Im sticking to it lmao!!!
