Many thanks to Poise for sponsoring today's story, and keeping me confident about turning 40!
Nothing can be quite as interesting as the topic of aging among us ladies. All of us have our take on it and ways to deal with it. So days before my 40th birthday, I turned to my group of friends to hear what they had to say. As expected, all of them had at least one piece of advice for me. “Don't worry, it's just another number,” one said , while another was more practical when she told me it's time to put things into perspective. Another friend excitedly named all the 40 year old celebrities who are doing great to comfort me. Quick note: She only made matters worse.
Truth to be told, I dreaded the milestone. I can't believe how quickly my 30s went by. Plus, I certainly didn't look or feel 40. In fact, I get carded even if I try to buy scratch off lotto tickets at the convenience store! But suddenly one day, I wake up and realize I can almost be considered to be middle aged! Then I start to wonder: is that another grey hair I see? Is my skin is going to start to sag? What about the dreaded light bladder leak? Should I start stocking up on Poise already to avert embarrassment? Turning 40 started off on an interesting note.
I realized however, that it wasn't such a big deal. Like my friend had said, age is just a number. Yes, 40 is quite an intimidating number for most of us. But then it is also the time when we have some idea of who we are and what we want from life. As much as I thought I'd hate to say it, I'm older and wiser now.
Forty is better than 30. I have a better understanding of who I am, what makes me tick, what’s okay and not okay. ~Brooke Burke
Oh, and if you do start to suffer from that light bladder leakage thing Poise works wonderfully. It is made specifically for light bladder leakages. It's ultra thin and compact features SAM (Super Absorbent Material) so it's ultra absorbent. Also, it has an absorb-loc core that hastily locks unwanted odor and wetness to keep you fresh and light all day long!
