Bestie, here are the anti-aging hacks nobody tells you! 😲✨

Hi beautiful! ☕️ 

I’ve got to get something off my chest.

Aging is hitting me hard. 😅 

In my 20s, I felt invincible. Never cared or had a thought about aging.

But now, after two kids and being in my 30s, it’s getting to me in a different way.

The gray hairs are making their grand entrance. My skin isn’t as bouncy, and I swear gravity has doubled its efforts. 😆 

But you know what? It’s all part of the journey.

Let's talk about embracing these changes and finding ways to keep glowing and fabulous at any age. 💁‍♀️

Spilling my mom’s secrets…

My mom, the ultimate skincare queen, has always been a bit of a skincare aficionado.

Every time she drops a skincare tip, it’s like getting the golden ticket. 🎫 

Here’s what she taught me:

1. Double Cleanse (Oil & Foam) 🧼
   Start with a gentle cleansing oil to dissolve all that makeup and go one step further with a foaming face wash to get that deep clean.
   TIP: Lukewarm water, babes! Hot water = dry, angry skin.
   

2. Get Your Vitamin C 🍊
   Say hello to glow! A Vitamin C serum will brighten your skin and kick those fine lines to the curb.
   TIP: Slap it on before sunscreen to fend off environmental baddies.
   

3. Perk Up With Eye Cream 👀
   Those bags? Not today! Use an eye cream to hydrate and de-puff. My mom swears by this one!
   TIP: Ingredients like caffeine and hyaluronic acid are your BFFs for bright, awake eyes.
   

4. Retinol Is Your BFF 🌙
   Retinol is the secret sauce for smooth, youthful skin. This one really helps even out skin texture!
   TIP: Night owl only! Start slow to avoid irritation – your skin will thank you.
   

5. Opt for Gel Sunscreens 😎 
   Sunscreen is non-negotiable! A broad-spectrum SPF gel will keep those UV rays at bay and prevent premature aging. No white cast and goes on invisible!
   TIP: Reapply every two hours when you're out and about. Sun protection is key!

Grey hair, don’t care…

So…I found my first gray hair and nearly screamed! 🫢 

Then I found even more. 😅 

The worst one? Right at the top of my head, near my bangs (of all places!)💀 

Even though the greys are here, I've managed to keep my locks full and shiny through the years with the below tips: 🙌 

• Trim Regularly ✂️
  Get a trim every 6-8 weeks to keep your hair healthy and prevent those pesky split ends from traveling up the shaft.

My hair was feeling like a heavy blanket, so I took a leap and went to a new stylist at Air Nova @ Brentwood. Her name is Ann, and OMG, I’m so glad I found her. She made my hair so much more manageable, taught me some insane hair styling hacks, and let’s just say, I’ll be going there from now on. 🚀

• Silk Pillowcases for the Win! 🛏️
  Switch to a silk pillowcase to reduce hair breakage and frizz. Plus, it's way better for your skin too!

• Scalp Massages are a Must 💆‍♀️
  Incorporate regular scalp massages into your routine to stimulate hair growth. This brush helps with circulation and exfoliates the scalp! Use a few drops of essential oils for added benefits.

• Nourish with Hair Oils 🌿
  Use bonding oil to nourish and add shine to your locks. Apply them to the ends first and then work your way up.

• Scalp Pre-Wash Treatment 🧴
  Try a scalp pre-wash treatment to cleanse and invigorate your scalp. It preps your hair for shampooing and helps remove build-up.

Aging like a fine wine…

The older I get, the faster time seems to fly by.

Especially after having two kids, I want to soak up every moment.

But at the same time, I'm so exhausted with balancing work life and mommy duties — it all feels like a juggling act. 😅

If there’s one thing I’ve learned, is that as we get older, we get wiser and gain so much more confidence and experience.

Those gray hairs tell a story of laughter, love, and life.

Even if I’m showing a few wrinkles and fine lines, I’ve gained so much more. Wisdom, a beautiful family, and countless stories to share.

Embracing these changes with a positive outlook makes all the difference. Aging isn’t something to fear but to celebrate. 🥂 

It’s a sign of the beautiful journey we've had. 🌟

Stay fabulous and keep shining!
