I don&#8217;t claim to have it, or have had it, or even had a passing acquaintance with it. But I do admit to wanting to stem the aging tide as much as possible. Vanity may not be a strong vice with me, but she&#8217;s still there, poking me with a stick. Why? <em>Because she can.</em></p>
<p>Even so, we all have our little habits when it comes to our bedtime. Wash our face, brush our teeth&#8230; that kind of stuff is second nature. I have a little basket on my nightstand that holds my favorite <del>money wasting</del> beauty tips. Shea hand cream, and footsie cream, too&#8230; argan oil lip balm&#8230;. Dead Sea eye cream&#8230;.and yes, even perfume.</p>

<p><em>Perfume??</em> Well, yes. Look, I know dang well it does nothing to keep you looking young. But it makes me feel nice, and pretty, and feeling <em>young</em> is just as important, if not more so. And that, my friends, is the true secret to looking young 😉</p>
