- We all carry something on our face, for me it's acne scarring. But, as you say, a face well lived and it's me. On a side note, I actually love the photo you use at the end of your posts, you look comfortable and fun. - Lauren
- There are days when I catch a glimpse of myself in the mirror and wonder who that woman is... I still (mostly) feel like I'm in my 20's ... and then at moments like that ... my illusion (or is that delusion) is shattered... but mostly I like myself... ! Your before photo is you ... that is what is beautiful! - Jo
- A face with character sure beats an lifeless flawless face anytime. x - JodiGibson (@JFGibsonWriter)
- Thanks Betty! I really appreciate that xx - Mrs Woog
- Fresh air + exercise makes my skin glow and I'm almost 52. Botox just makes you look like you've had Botox. :) - Sandi Monaghan
- As we age the skin needs a little more assistance. Especially because it keeps changing the landscape texture on me. - Betsy

- I've just hit 40. I need this- obviously! - Kelly
- For the love of God, Anne, this is simply the most tiresome immaturity I've ever read. Respect is earned. It means, wait for it, that you have to be GOOD at your job!! You know? You have to have integrity, strength and capability! And it helps if you don't BS, lie, ridicule, bully or spin till your head pops off. Most of the women who lost their seats in Queensland were Emily's List. The dozens who will lose their seats in September are also Emily's List. Anna Bligh oversaw years of fiscal vandalism. And, I can't recall her seeking the truth behind the Heiner Affair, either! So, Ann, perhaps it's time to look at the model? Demanding that a woman be parachuted into a safe Labor seat on the basis that she is prepared to fight for 'to term abortions' and is female is laughable! Call the electorate sexist, but most of us want a bit of integrity, strength and capability in our politicians!! All qualities lacking in abundance in the Emily's List ladies, I'm afraid to say. If you don't believe me now, you will come September 14. Not only have these women brought disrespect upon themselves, they've helped destroy the entire Labor brand. We have an Emily's List PM who supported a man accused of pilfering the union fees of our lowest paid workers to indulge himself and his chums with prostitutes, for gawds sake!! She has no respect for workers and no respect for women. Her past speaks very clearly of that. So, no, sorry, even as a woman and mother of daughters, I have zero respect for them and cannot - Gee
- I whitened my teeth last year and the impact on how much younger I looked surprised me. Didn't hurt a bit. Love this article. - C
