Wild Card Wednesdays

Black Don't Crack...



I had a whole nuther blog planned for to day but the most fabulous things happened again...I am single and over 30 and I get younger guys hollering at the vet often. I have gotten use it and find it to be funny.But the older I get and shifting professional circles I get comments like:
"This is your son? or your brother?"
"You said your son is 18. Do you mean months?"
"I can tell your older by your conversation, what are you like 30?" (not sure if this was a complement or an insult!)

In the last couple of days I have had guys assume that we are the same age or that they are older than me. Now the punch line is they are 32 and 33 years old!I ain't trying to pop my collar because I am truly grateful to have my health~ but one thing I know to be true is everybody can NOT tell the same lie in the exact same way....

Wendy Raquel Robinson
39
The star of the CW’s The Game says she wouldn’t trade her 39 years for 25, even if you paid her.

OUTER BEAUTY: “I am celebrating everything that’s beautiful about me. I swear by monthly facials. I take vitamins because my energy level just isn’t the same without them. I also need plenty of sleep.”
INNER BEAUTY: “It’s the self-acceptance that I’ve gathered from age, maturity, even from marriage, that has contributed to my feeling beautiful.”
Beauty Must-Haves
The star spills her secrets, from skin care to exercise.

SKIN CARE: “My regimen starts with Neutrogena Clear Pore Cleanser/Mask (about $7, mass retailers) and DeLord Skin Care Daily Facial Shampoo ($29, delordskincare.com).”

DIET: “I exclude pork and beef as well as fried and greasy foods. I avoid eating heavy after 8 p.m. to prevent unnecessary weight gain.”

FITNESS: “I take dance classes on the weekends and work out about three times a week.”

HAIR: “I make sure to have my ends trimmed regularly and treat my hair to deep conditioners.”
