For your Eyes only - Eye opening techniques
We all know - Mother Nature can be a bitch!
For many of us when looking in the mirror at our eyes it can trigger a heavy sigh, where did they go?
When I hit 40 I noticed my own beauty needs were changing. Being married, bringing up two children while juggling career, life pressures, and the dog were taking their toll on my looks. I noticed the inevitable lines and wrinkles along with dark shadows under my eyes. Especially after a wine fuelled frivolous evening where once I would bounce back, even with limited amount of sleep, now my skin looked dull, tired - and let’s not mention the eyes again! I had to look again at my whole regime in particular - my makeup.
I was 45, at a family gathering, and a flippant comment by one of my brothers galvanised me into action. He said “Ahhh yes, I remember when Aunty Jo was young, she was so glamorous” I had never thought of myself as ‘passed it’ before then - whatever IT was, or the thought of - ‘letting myself go’.
I did have to admit, like most women, I had allowed everyone else’s needs to eclipse mine and the results were there, in that mirror.
I knew what to do, it was just the motivation I lacked, now I was determined.
