The Night Routine From Hell

It seems like the older you get the longer your bedtime routine becomes I've discovered. With the brushing of the teeth, flossing, picking and the mouthwash but guess what? You have only just begun because now you have the face to do.

Cleanse, tone and NIGHT moisturizer. Yes folks, it is now 1 cream for the day and another by night. God forbid a wrinkle or puffiness turns up to ruin your day.

Foot cream. My daughter has informed me that the after every bath and nightly application of foot cream fights off the oncoming crusty heels and keep athlete's foot at bay so it has now been added to the routine in a bid to miraculously sprout sexy feet and last but not least.

The creaming of the hands, elbows and knees. We all hate achey bits.

By the time I'm done with all this I am indeed ready for bed because my ass has just knocked out my reserve and I am truly tired.

I could say that we are all doing this for the men in our lives and blame them for yet another inconvenience so we could remain mildly interesting to them but I would be lying. It is all vanity and I for one will not be going down without a fight.

Good Night!
