Well it's been a week

Hello blogworld,

since 'the' haircut and I'm sort of getting used to it.  The worse part is I've got a picture of it in my head where it really suits me and then I catch sight of myself in the mirror and think 'arrrgh where did that podgy, getting wrinkly face come from!"

I don't think I'm ever going to like being 40 (or 40+ as it will be from July) or getting a bit fat in the face (ahm not only the face!), but I suppose I'll get used to it.  I'm taking preventative measures to stop any more wrinkles - loads of 40/+ skincare products.  I'm also hoping that that only thing I inherit from my mother is her good skin!  People never believed that she was whatever age it was at the time - they always put her a good 10 years younger.

Anyhows, here we go, just what you really needed to see a picture of me!  It was taken by the youngest person in the house - I still can't get a reasonable self-portrait - so you'll have to excuse the slightly dodgy focus.  And the fact that she was below eye level - it's something to do with her height, I believe ;-)




Hope everyone is having a good weekend oh and joining in with this weeks Sweet Stampin challenge, it's a a good 'un - 'Flower Power' and there are some great prizes on offer.

See ya soon,

Sarah

Oh Sarah I am loving the haircut and it suits you. As for age well you are looking pretty fine for 40 think mum handed the gene down so no worries there. Have a great weekend from 1 old and slightly wrinkled oh nearly 54 year old. Dont do pictures anymore and try to hide mirrors

Sarah you are so funny! The haircut is gorgeous and you look like a baby, no worries there! I am turning 50 next month (yuck) but hey I am happy to say my wrinkles come from laughing, smiling and loving life! Don't worry about things you cannot control ( aging) just enjoy the ride!

I love your haircut, Sarah. Wish I could get my hair cut like I used to when I lived in London. It's much cheaper here, tho'!! Have a lovely weekend. Hugs, Tracey xx

Ooh Sarah, I love the haircut, it really suits you (trust me, I'm a professional!) & unless you got some super duper magic airbrushing going on here I'd say your skin looks fabulous!! Hugs xx

Glad we get to see the new haircut and wow it's great. Nobody likes looking at themselves and always finds faults but you have nothing to worry about. I'm fed up of trying to beat the grey and tell the kids it's the new fashion!!
