As I creep closer to 50, I find myself struggling harder against the signs of aging.
Perhaps it’s all in vain, but I can’t help myself.
I don’t want to look old before my time.
I want to look young, and firm and smooth!
So I’m getting my melasma removed via a very irritating process known as the Spectra Laser Peel.
It feels like a little electrical ZAP! going on right next to your skin and it’s hella annoying.
And by annoying, I mean slap-your-esthetician-annoying.
I have to lay on my hands to keep myself from swatting her hands away.
In any case, they first put a black carbon solution on your face like a mask which they then ZAP! away.
The nurse left the room after applying the mask and out of curiosity, I snapped a picture of what I looked like in the carbon mask.
And, as it turns out, I took the most flattering picture of me in the known universe:
And I’m just wondering, perhaps if I put this as my online dating profile picture, I’ll get some decent dates?
Nothing is sexier than a woman laying on a table, with a carbon mask on her face, eh?
Michelle you are one of the most beautiful women I know. Not just the outside, because that is clearly fabulous, but also because of who you are. A fun, free, energetic, loving woman, mother and friend. Those numbers atop the birthday cake don’t mean a thing when it comes to that stuff. You clearly have the upper hand on that silly number. Keep on doing you!
Awww. Thank you. I will read this when I’m feeling ugly and it will remind me how extraordinary I am. Thank you!
