I’ve always known there were anti-aging tips to follow when I turned 20, but I wasn’t aware how quickly aging would start showing or how important these tips were going to be. Let me tell you a story about when I first learned I was getting older: A nice, young boy that’s a senior in college walks up to a lady. “Let me buy you a shot,” he says. “What kind?” She asks. “A lemon drop, which is-” “I know what a lemon drop is,” She says and giggles more to herself. “Really, how old are you?” “Old.

I also recently became a dog mom to a beautiful Golden Retriever. We adopted him a little later than normal so he’s already 6mths and 45lbs. His favorite pastime is tug of war. We play it about 6 times a day, which apparently is the best arm workout you can do at home! I’ve noticed my arms getting stronger and looking more toned due to our little game.

And when we had a big exam, we could stay up all night studying just to get the ‘A’. All we needed was a pot of coffee or energy drink to keep us going. Now, we need some SERIOUS sleeping tricks to not feel like a zombie the next morning. Having a professional job and every day stressors that come with adulthood, has caused me to lose sleep at night. I will sit tossing and turning trying to…
