So, 2015 is the year I turn fifty. Which means it's also the year I do my damnedest not to LOOK like I'm turning 50.

I was asked to participate in the #rogainevolume campign, sponsored by Women’s ROGAINE. Although I have been compensated, as always all opinions are my own.The original tagline of my blog was "If 40's the new 30, someone forgot to tell my thighs."

I am never going to love my body just the way it is, and that's OK. Let me explain: Yesterday, I read this post about a woman struggling with her post-baby body.
