It's My Birthday!!!

As you are reading this, I am officially over the hill! Yep, today I turned "the big 4-0"! This past year a lot of things have changed!

I have been tobacco-free for a little over a year now! I have a new found love of food. I'm trying foods I never would have tried before (I love siracha, and hate falafel), and am enjoying cooking more, as well. Which translates into having a few more curves than I did a year ago, but that's okay! Women are supposed to have curves!

My skin has been changing, too. I don't know the science behind it, but as we age, the skin on our face changes. I've battled adult acne in places I've never had breakouts before. It's been interesting figuring out the right Posh products for my "old face" (LOL!). The Gender Bender charcoal soap and BFF exfoliating face wash used to work wonders for me. Then over the course of a few weeks, I noticed it wasn't working any more. Posh came out with the Olive My Love mild face cleanser, which I didn't think much of when I heard about it. It's an oil-rich cleanser, which made me think "um, I don't want to wash my face with oil!" Then my upline raved about it on our team page. So, I trusted her and bought one. WOW. It's awesome! It draws dirt and oil out of your skin, while cleansing and moisturizing at the same time. After I wash my face, I apply the zit zapper to any area that might need it, then apply the Never Grow Up Serum. This serum is amazing! I've been using it for maybe 6 months now, and I could swear it's reducing the appearance of my "laugh lines" around my eyes!

(Don't mind the mark on the bridge of my nose - that's from my glasses!)

I also got an unexpected promotion at my day job this summer! I'm an Electrical Controls Designer at my company's World Headquarters. I work for a Fortune 500 Architecture and Engineering Firm here in Ohio. With my promotion comes more responsibility, and requires more effort and less guidance, so I've got new opportunities to learn and grow!

Since it's my birthday, I'd like to do a giveaway!! Please leave me a comment to be entered into a drawing for a gift! I will send one (or two!) people something from this cabinet!
