How to Survive Life in the Suburbs

What Are Your “Ageless” Giveaways? ~ $165 Olay Giveaway

in Everyday, Lifestyle, Uncategorized on 01/15/16

It was 10pm and I was dragging.  A ridiculous hour to have to head out again and pick up a teenager from Volleyball practise right?  You think I’d be used to it by now, but I wasn’t.  It was an effort to stay awake and get my behind off the couch.  So I did what ever other self respecting Mama would do.  Grabbed my coffee to go, hauled my butt to the car, and searched for some tunes to help keep me AWAKE.  As I drove, I got into the grove singing along to a few country faves before switching it over to the Top 100 Hits.  HELLO!  One Direction.  Yup!  Good stuff.  With the windows down for that fresh air to aid in the “stay awake” factor, I blasted my way into the parking lot, singing along to “Perfect” and doing a little car dancing.  What, car dancing is a real thing, you should try it.

Crooning along I sang outloud…

“..but If you like causing trouble up in hotel rooms, and if you like having secret little rendezvous, if you like to do the thing you know that we shouldn’t do….. Baby I’m perfect.  Baby I’m perfect for you.”

Just as I was kicking up the chorus, my BlueEyed Girl and her girlfriends hopped into the car.  That girl of mine was all red faced, she looked at me with her piercing blue eyes and sighed, oh Mom, what are you doing?

Just another day and another way I’m once again giving away I am the Mom of a teenager!  How else could I know all the words to a One Direction Hit and sing them with complete abandon in a parking lot stuffed full of strangers?

Here’s the thing, I may be 44,  but most days, I just don’t feel like it!  44 is just a number and I will not let it define who I am or how I’m “supposed” to act, but as it turns out these little cues I send out do tend to giveaway my age!. Does this mean I will stop the random car dancing and singalongs.  Of course not!  I intend to live my life full of joy, and of course embarrass my teenagers as often as possible.  That’s a Mothers job!

As it turns out I’m not the only one who’s decided one’s age is just a number.  Canadian women no longer feel defined by their chronological age.   In fact, 90 per cent believe that age will continue to become less relevant.

Last month Olay unveiled their Ageless program – an initiative that explores how Canadian women and their counterparts around the globe think about aging and expectations when it comes to beauty.  As part of this campaign, Olay is encouraging women to share their age ‘giveaways’ because it won’t be their skin giving them away!  So what does?  Is it having a teenager, the type of music you listen to, your throwback dance style?  The possibilities are endless.  SO now I want to know; what are your age giveaways?

      I’m not Canadian, but I enjoyed this post. My first giveaway is my hair. I went gray at 32. I keep it natural. It’s actually more of a taupe than a true gray. People sometimes ask me if my kids are my grandchildren. It hurts, but then I knock their socks off with something amazing like car dancing (yes, I rock at that too) or public singing, and they’re put back in their place. If I look like a granny, I’m one really hot granny! 😉
