Big Big Girl

Sorry, for the weeks without news, I've been really busy! This post was supposed to be published yesterday but I totally forgot! So there it is now:

Today it's my birthday, I'm finally turning 21 and as usual I'm not very excited. Don?t missunderstand me, it doesn't have anything to do with me not wanting to get older. I just dont like my birthday. When I was a little girl I was excited about my big day for weeks in advance, and when the day arrived I was sad because I had nothing to look forward to anymore. I have to admit very little has changed since then:)

Anyway this shouldn't be a sad post! Let me think of something nicer to write about...
As I told you I'm now 21, but that doesn't spare me of being asked if I'm over 16 when ordering a Gin&Tonic. In fact I really look more like a 15 year old girl who looks older, than like a 21 year old who looks a bit girlish. Everybody says I should be happy about my young appearance, because when I'm 30 I'ill still look like a 25 year old. Perhaps I will, but for now, it really sucks.
I really don't understand women who don't want to tell their age. I'ts ridiculous, they should be proud of it and make the best of what they have. And by that I dont mean plastic surgery! Hell no!
In my opinion every age has its specific elegance and charme. At each age your body and beauty looks different. Of course there will come the day when we look in the mirror and we realize that the youth has left us, but why try to recover it by any means and look ridiculous instead of being appropriate, elegant and gracious at every age?? There are so many beatiful women in their 50s,60s,70s and 80s who have learned how to enhance their beauty with the passing of time. Take for instance the beautiful Audrey Hepburn.

The only important thing is to take care of the nutrition, the skin, the exercises etc knowing that time passes by leaving some marks but they only make you more interesting. And feeling good with who you are, because this is what people around you will see.

That and of course dressing appropriately, nobody wants to see a 50year old wearing the same things as a 20year old, sorry madonna, although you really look younger than you are.
With that I say good bye to you and wish myself a very happy birthday:)
