Bad Face Day

So I am buying a pair of shoes and the lady behind the counter says how cute they are and she has a pair almost exactly like them then she looks at me and says "Well, we're about the same age right? Early-Mid 40s?" Huh? Whats that you said? Do I just agree? Do I punch her in the face? Do I wait for her in the alley and ram her car? Do I politely say "huh, 50s? No, Im not 50 yet honey" But the simple humiliating response of my real age of 35 was completely sufficient. She covered her face with the shoes and just shook her head.

And I am thinking YEAH DUMBASS, you feel stupid dont you? What kind of thing is that to say - you never EVER ever guess someones age or weight unless you are going to pad it and in the SMALLER direction!!! You have probably asked someone when they are due before too! Or maybe said in a friendly concerned way "you look like you could stand to lose 10-15 pounds, here's my secret" WTF?

So, of course I get a good look at her and take note of every wrinkle and crevice and crows foot on her face and then get back to the car and inspect my own reflection in comparison. Yeah, I dont look so great for 35. I am much to young to feel and look this damn old. Its a country song with a little additives for the girls! But these kids will put some miles on you I tell you!

So, I did a nice exfoliating mask and some elastin, cologen something or other I have under the sink.....this should be my first clue that most of this stuff is probably expired and I dont regularly put ANYTHING on my face and so HELLOOOOOO maybe I should look into it!

But then that would make me have analysis peralysis on trying to choose the right skincare product without doing it by the ads or marketing of it. You think that if it costs more certainly it must be rreeeeeeeaaally good and then I say forget that I aint spending that kind of money of LOTION! I can just listen to my 40yr old looking mom and put olive oil on it! Or the guy from My Big Fat Greek Wedding and use Windex!
