Gilding The Lily

Just before Xmas I went to Newcastle to buy presents for people, as it turned out I mostly bought me stuff but that is more a sign of the preparation andthings I had bought for othrs before. Honest.  Well I needed to go to Kiehl's and u heav lifting eye cream and midnight eye cream. There was also the posibility that I would get some midnght concentrate skin drops. As things went I dropped the first £50 easily enough and then the next £35 on the skin evening drops. Well actually the bill came to £95 which as £1 out so I ent back got it changed and a free sample of evening drops which might last quite a while. The point is do they work? OK you accept a something is needed but what and what diference can it make? I prefer to believe they do makea difference, certainly the cosmetics last for long enough so I do not leave feeling I have been robbed.
When I was younger I looked youngr than I was, even as far as 995 a friend said "you must know you look younger than your age."  Odd way of putting it but thank you, even as far as say 47 at The Boudoir when I said how old I was Jodie looked faintly impressed. Then something happened, not sure what and the eyes went lined, the nose and mouth creases appeared and the hair started to go white. I am still thin and believe that helps, shorter hair helps hide the white The makeup only accentuates it all. Several years ago the hnds started to look old and this has got slightly worse.
There is good news though, I am still thin and the legs are good, these all help. Note that there has been no mention of how I feel, my health or other aspects of getting older. Certainly the left kneegoing has been an alarm call  but that can be exergarated I currently believe. The eyes are not what they were either.
Its not been a good holiday for the girl, no dressing.  The niece has been in all the time, the sister has been working so not taking the neice to anywhere really. Its actually beginning to knaw a bit at me, hopefully New Years Eve will be OK. I have dodged some opportunities to dress but feeling the need now.
