serum schmerum

Why is it that the smallest bottles of :
wrinkle reliever
wrinkle filler
anti-aging
anti-wrinkle
skin plumping
fine line reducing
concentrated renewal
cellular renewal
balm
cream
masque
depuffers
correctors
and dark circle under eye removers
cost so much money for the TINIEST LITTLE BOTTLE???!

Gaaaahhhh! It's because we want to look lovely and the look of oldness is so friggin' frowned upon. So we are willing to try all this product to attempt to maintain/hearken back to our days of youth with all that firm skin that we never thought about until being bombarded with all this serum shit. It says that what we don't have is not as good as what we used to have. How about what we do have is pretty damn AWESOME?
Where's that positive statement? WE need to put that into our thoughts.

I've bought into the whole propaganda bullshit of non aging skin. As if that exists. And you know what? It's demeaning. Where are the ads showing the glorious looking wrinkly women? They're out there. I have seen them. My Mom is one of them. She has all these deep wrinkles AND her skin is lovely.

Let's embrace our face. Next time you walk by a mirror, I DARE YOU to look at yourself, do that 2 hands pointed like guns thing and then make that kinda "kch" sound that says "lookin' good toots." Do that and I bet there's a bit of an attitude shift.

And I'll do it too.
