I love scrambles. Seriously, love them. I go back and forth with eggs. I will cut myself off from eating them for a while because I feel like they make me bloated, then I want them oh so badly so I stop caring and take the bloat. It gives more curves, right? Totes. Anywho, I’m obsessed with dill at the moment. And dill is a weird herb that doesn’t go in a ton of food. But with eggs, sweet potatoes and salmon…I’m about to scream. It’s so good. Just a fact.
When I hear a package dropped off at my doorstep, I get so excited. Yesterday, I had a silicone muffin pan arrive at my doorstep. Guess I need to make cupcakes. Or muffins. Or anything in a muffin shape. I’m pumped!
So I’m 25, if you didn’t know that fun fact, and even though I don’t have many wrinkles, I’m noticing them coming into view more and more. It doesn’t bother me too much, but I have some girlfriends who’ve told me that they wish they would have started using wrinkle cream at my age. And well, I’m not ready for botox. I’m completely supportive of plastic surgery and anybody who wants to shoot some botox into their body, but I’m not there yet. But I do want to try to keep the wrinkles from crevacing (yes, I know it’s not a word) into my skin. So the other day, I went to the beauty store to try to find some day and night cream. Once I got into the store, I was already lost. Usually when I walk into that store, I’m bombarded with people trying to sell me sh*t. But the one day that I actually need help, no one is there. I even said excuse me to a woman three times and she ignored me. She could have just not heard me, but I was standing 1 foot away, staring at her, so I think it was a ‘I have better things to do right now’ kind of ignore.
I then proceeded to the anti wrinkle cream area and started trying to read the product names. Like that wasn’t hard enough, I had to sort through terminology I absolutely do not understand. Once I found something that said DAY CREAM and NIGHT CREAM (terminology I do understand) I looked at the price. $120 for each cream. Are you high? I don’t know if this stuff is even going to work. You want to sell me something that promises to make me look less old in 10 years. WHAT IF IT DOESN’T WORK?? Then I’ve wasted hundreds, probably even thousands of dollars just hoping to have a smoother face? Wrinkles are exhausting.

Looking at your photo, you don’t have anything to worry about yet! But, I can completely understand. I’m 28 and I think I started shopping for anti-wrinkle stuff around age 20. If that place you went is Sephora (and I can’t tell if it was) then you can always ask for samples of the various creams and potions and they will give it to you for free. Some of my favorite high end brands so far are Mary Kay, Lancome, and Ren.
Thanks for the tips, Camille! It was actually Ulta this time
Ha– I totally noticed you’ve been digging dill lately. You should make pickles!
I’m 25 too and while I don’t have wrinkles, I’ve been thinking that maybe I want to start using creams. But those price tags– woof.
Try Olay day/night anti-wrinkle. There are even private brand versions that companies like walgreens makes that is exact same thing for cheaper. At 25 you don’t need to be using $100 cream. I use the walgreens stuff and it’s like $10-20 a bottle and works great.
I love smoked salmon and eggs! I’ve never tried it over sweet potatoes but it sounds awesome. My very favorite inexpensive night cream is a Loreal one in a tall-ish blue cylinder (sorry I don’t have the exact name!) It makes my problem skin feel really, really smooth. Like, amazingly so.
Thank you for all your wonderful recipes. Every one I make becomes my new favorite!
I’m treading down the anti aging path as well. There has to be something out there that works and doesn’t require the selling of my kidney.
Juli,

1. I also have been on the hunt for Sorel boots with no luck . . . and all the cute ones are sold out on the clymb . . . shoot!
2. I’m 29 and have realised that just using moisterizer is important . . . doesnt have to be some fancy cream. Though I might invest in some when i hit the big 3-0!
I’m 34 and have a 5 month old kiddo. I noticed a LOT of aging on my face after the little guy got here (doesn’t help that I also live in an arid climate). I have sensitive skin, so I went to Clinique at Macy’s and they did a free consult for me. I left with a cleanser, lotion and eye cream that actually work, and don’t cause me to break out. Totally worth the money. I look younger than I did before I had the kiddo! That might be a place for you to start too?
