One step closer to Botox

I bought my first anti-aging product today.

Earlier this week, my eyes looked like they were about to sprout wrinkles. They looked weary, spent. I knew that any day, the crow's feet were going to move in, and that preventative measures were in order. Hence, RevitaLift eye cream.

More troubling than the actual purchase was the other anti-aging products I nearly bought. I thougt to myself, Maybe I need something for my whole face! Maybe my neck, too! It there anything that will keep my breasts perky? Something to keep my ass from sagging? My mind went crazy.

I have to say, this is the first time I've given any thought to the effect that years lived, smoking and partying like a rock star might have on my youthful good looks. Suddenly, I'm wondering if Botox is really such a bad idea. If I'd get some stuff lifted if the need arose. What exactly is a chemical peel? Do I need one? If I get married sometime in the next five years, will my husband leave me for someone firmer?

I never thought I'd be one of those women. I'm still not, but I'm definitely a lot closer than I was yesterday.
