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.

Don’t worry about wrinkles! You are beautiful, your diet is awesome, you challenge your physical body, you’re aware of your emotions…you’re all good. Call them laugh lines and enjoy smiling knowing that when you are old, like really really old, those lines will look super cute. You’ll smile and light up the room just like every other time you smiled, millions of times before in your life. There’s no way to tell if a cream will work because those creams aren’t made to decrease wrinkles they’re made to put money in the pockets of the men who run those companies! Advice from a 40-something yr old (who looks pretty young and fresh)…coconut oil is the best moisturizer because its healing and protective for your skin.
This recipe looks awesome! Those omega 3’s are great for the skin too. Thanks Juli!
Wrinkle creams are a $cam! I’ve been using coconut oil on my face since I was 16 (I’m now 26) and I’m constantly asked what my ‘secret’ is.
Even if your skin type is ‘oily,’ it’s great to use as it’s antibacterial and can help prevent acne. I rub a little all over my face nightly and let it dry for 5-10 minutes before laying on my pillow.
2x a week or so I’ll also do a face mask with bentonite clay (it’s great for pulling the toxins out of your face and tightening pores). I use this brand:

Thought I’d share 🙂
I can’t wait to try this!

Juli, I agree with Alison. Diet & exercise is a huge part of being & looking healthy. I do, however use Burts Bees products & love them – natural ingredients & affordable. Also, i made your spaghetti pizza pie last night for my family of 8 & we all loved it. i plan on making these sweet potatoes tonight with dinner. i LOVE sweet potatoes & i LOVE dill so this is a win win recipe. thanks
Hi Juli – I agree with Alison. I would avoid most if not all “beauty products” from drug and department stores as they will probably age your skin more than using nothing at all in the long run. Much like your diet – keep it simple and avoid chemicals. if I can’t eat it I’m not putting it on my face. The skin absorbs all of the chemicals and toxins that are in almost all conventional hair, body, oral, and skincare products. I use essential oil blends made by a woman in Canada, in fact, I even wash my face with oil. I’m in my 30’s and wish I would have started this in my 20’s. You are beautiful – just keep things simple and natural and you’ll age gracefully. 🙂
You are absolutely stunning but I get it. I’m turning 40 in a month and I am freaked about those little lines. While I still get carded pretty regularly it’s something to think about! BUT from what I have learned (and I do not spend $100+ on creams) is that a good night cream should contain retinol. I’ve always used moisturizer but since I started using Garnier retinol night cream and an a.m. cream, my skin looks amazing. Still have some of those little lines but I will forget to put it on at night. I think it you are diligent, it should work. Also Garnier has a roll on eye thing that works great. Good luck, gorgeous!
I’ve had good luck with Origins anti wrinkle products. I still have some wrinkles due to having what I call a severe face lol, but I do notice more of a difference than with other products. Its expensive up front, but a little goes a long way w/their products, the moisturizers consistently last 7+ months for me. They’ll make testers for you.
I’m stoked to make this & the snack attack! Have some fresh Dill I’ve been wanting to use – its like you just knew. I think you’re a paleo wizard.
I’m 22 and have seriously been considering wrinkle cream. I had bad acne throughout my life and ended up drying the crap out of my skin with every harsh chemical imaginable trying to get rid of it, which I think caused some premature forehead lines haha booooo.
Also this recipe – like every recipe you make – looks super fantastic and I can’t wait to try it!
Yay for being 25. Scrambles are the shiznit, just throw whatever good stuff you got going on in the fridge into it, throw some salsa or hot sauce on that bad boy. Oooohweeee!
hi Juli,
I really recommend http://www.reddit.com/r/skincareaddiction for tips on taking care of your skin. It is science based and these ladies really know their stuff. If you really want to prevent the wrinkles, talk to your dermatologist about topical retinol gel – anything you can buy in a store doesn’t have enough retinol to be effective and is pretty much just a waste of money
