Age is just a number, Olay Ageless

 


Sooooo…… a blogger you all know and love is turning the BIG 4-0 next month. Yup, I’m a February baby so I’ve been busy this week renewing my health card and drivers license and all that jazz. Not that I needed a reminder that my 40th was coming up quickly or anything, in fact, I kind of just thinking of myself as forty months ago. It’s here, why not embrace it.

The good news is, I can still pass for much younger. My kids ages don’t even give me away because I know plenty of Mama’s far younger than me with kids the same age! There are definitely other things that do give me away though. This past weekend I was quizzing my oldest in the van on the way to skating lessons on the names of all the provinces. I called Nunavut the ‘new’ province. Yeah, well to me it’s new, it was not a province when I was growing up. It definitely didn’t show up on any of my Geography tests since I was 23 when it became our newest Canadian territory.

Or the times when my boys are watching tv and I jump on the couch with them exclaiming, “I love this show!” and then realize they are watching the Retro TV Channel. Oy, my childhood is now considered retro. wow.

Well, age really is just a number! Did you know that Canadian women no longer feel defined by their chronological age? In fact, 90 per cent even believe age will become less relevant as the years go on.

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.

Olay is encouraging women to share their own age ‘giveaways’ like having a teenager or your groovy dance moves!

So what gives your age away?

The older gentleman on your arm? Your love for retro cartoons? lol Let those little things be the only thing that gives you away!

  4. Gillian Morgan says

I am old enough to be her granny and our 2 older kids are old enough to be her parents. So I could use any help I can get whith wrinkles and bags. I am a January baby and I will be 57.

  28. Karin Dollery says

    My wrinkles and I am starting to see some grey.

  80. Elizabeth Matthiesen says

    Definitely my grey hair, found my first ones at 21! I’ve been colouring for about 30 yrs. The grey roots grow back so quickly that I’ve now altered my colour to medium blonde from dark blonde. At least now it’s not quite as noticeable. 🙂

  96. I like to think I’m still young and hip, but the grey hair (all in one spot) is what I point to when I still get ID’d as a 36 year old. I’d point to my eye wrinkles, but the grey hair is less embarrassing (I actually don’t mind and I don’t try to cover it up) Wrinkles on the other hand…
    I also am starting to notice that I get ID’d less when wearing glasses, and my theory is that my glasses magnify my wrinkles!

    I appear to be one of those lucky (?) people who make people gasp when they learn my age. I was once (yearsgo) asked if my daughter(beside me) was my sister!. I don’t think she was too pleased. However all my daughters are young-looking for their age. Age is only a number after all. If you exeercise and look after yourself , life is good.

    I have puffy under eyes – no wrinkles, but that puffiness really ages me.

  133. Donna Harris says

    Before I got ill eleven years ago I looked younger than my age. Now I look at least ten years older than my age because of some gray hair, wrinkles on face, neck and even my hands, yes my hands give it away more. I still wear blue jeans, t-shirts/sweatshirts, tennis shoes and even a ponytail hoping that I will look younger but to tell the true, I’m old!

  139. My hair color with a touch of grey around the temples.
