What is giving away your true age? {Giveaway}

•

I have enjoyed some time off this month. After a few months of extensive travel and a heavy workload, I really needed some time to recoup before jumping back in with both feet. It may be one of my age giveaways, that I don’t bounce back quite as fast as I used to.

What are my true age giveaways?

There are a lot of little “giveaways” as to my actual age. The silver roots and my adult son are big ones, of course. The drawer of old scrunchies are a giveaway. The fact that today’s fashion trends practically mirror my teenage wardrobe might be another one. I have never been embarrassed about my age. I don’t understand lying about the number of years you have been on this earth. It is something to celebrate! The number of candles on my cake have nothing to do with who I am as a person. Being 43 does not define me.

In December, Olay unveiled their Ageless program – an initiative that explores how Canadian women and their counterparts around the globe think about aging and expectations when it comes to beauty

As part of this campaign, Olay is encouraging women to share their age ‘giveaways’. Take a look at the teenager giveaway below.

One of my lucky readers will win an Olay Prize Pack valued at $165.

The Ageless Olay Gift includes:

NEW – Olay Regenerist Micro-Sculpting EyeSwirl: $38.49
NEW – Regenerist Facial Cleansing Brush:$33.49*
Olay Micro-sculpting Scrub Cleanser: $15.99
Olay Regenerist Micro-Sculpting Cream: $39.99
Olay Regenerist Micro-Sculpting Serum: $39.99

    some of the words I still use, def bunny hug (some of the new generation use hoody because they think it sounds ghetto) Gibbled…you had to be my generation to even know what that means! “Don’t have a hernia ” …my kids were always wanting to know what that exactly was, and when they figured it out, they could never understand why I said that ….physically though, my grey hairs are what defines my age…and they don’t actually bother me that much
