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.

Hey Juli – I have been reading your blog for about a year now and just wanted to say thanks for all the amazing and creative recipes and just being hilarious. your blog is always a bright spot in my day! my health has improved so much since following the paleo diet over the past year. so I also live in lovely Colorado which is amazing but pretty much hell on your skin. I too have sensitive and sometimes problematic skin and have been very pleased with a skin care line the makeup gal at beauty brands recommended. it’s Murad anti aging and acne – it is a little on the expensive side, but they have a starter kit for around $40 (that includes a ceanser, moisturizer, eye cream, etc) so you could try it and see how you like it for a small investment. the cleanser is very mild and has a time release acne formula with a toner. it cleans and doesn’t dry out your skin (I live at 9200 feet and my skin dries out very easily especially this time of year). comes with a moisturizer w/spf and a separate eye cream. I love this skin care line and just thought this could be a good fit for you as well. hope that’s helpful. you are so funny and a true inspiration. thanks for all you do!
I am 40 but always get mistaken for someone in their mid-late 20’s. I don’t have any wrinkles and have never spent a lot of money on moisturizers/ creams. I don’t wear heavy foundation, I use ivory soap to cleanse my face and coconut cream to moisturize. I bet this company would even send you some for free to try. I like the Baby Silk and use it all over…face, hands, body.

That is all.

I’m 30 and have noticed the greatest difference in my eye area with just coconut oil. It keeps the skin from “crevacing” overnight 🙂 I also just got the clarisonic sonic skin cleanser for Xmas and that is amazing!! My pores look much smaller and overall skin tightening. And…I have lived in Florida all my life, so I cannot escape the sun!
100% Pure has some good anti-aging products. I say “good” based on the ingredients. I’m 27 so I couldn’t tell you if they work or not. The biggest thing I’m trying to do to keep wrinkles away is to drink lots of water and eat lots of hydrating veggies, eat good fats like coconut oil and animal fat, and sweat. I’m hoping these lifestyle changes will allow me to forgo extra products…but I also love making my own products too with different butters (like kokum butter) and essential oils. Myrrh essential oil was used by the Egyptian women (I think it was Egyptian???) to keep wrinkles away.
I started laughing when you said you’re noticing wrinkles. I’m 27 and was totally the same way! I feel like I woke up one day and started seeing the crinkles by my eyes and on my forehead. Also, I swear that the crinkle on my forehead is from making weird squinty faces from working out. I notice it in the mirror… it’s not a pretty picture. Anywho, I started using Michael Todd’s anti-aging cream. It’s $150– hello?! Who has that kind of money. BUT, I buy it off of Groupon and Living Social for $25. I’ve seen it on there at least 5 times. I stock up when I see it. It’s organic and all natural. I can totally see a difference in the appearance of my lines and my face feels smoother overall. I also use their acne regimes and it has helped a lot! I HATE ACNE!!!!!!!!!!!!! I appreciate your blogs where you share your hate of acne. Good luck!
Juli- try these- I swear by them…I just re-ordered them this morning. Use at night and you wake up with fresh, glowing skin…and my skin is SUPER sensitive- not blemish-y, just rosacea-ish. And no, I don’t work for Avon- I’m just obsessed with this product!

i’m going to buy smoked salmon just so i can make this!! i’ve had thick pieces before from the whole foods fish counter but not the paper thin kind. is there a good brand you like??
whatever i can find that is wild caught
WRINKLE CREAMS DON’T WORK…it’s molecularly impossible. Read the Beauty Myth by Naomi Wolf, it’s an oldie but a goodie, and explains why the whole industry is a ripoff. Wear a ton of sunscreen, do face yoga, and FOR REALS, topical urine therapy, and moisturize with coconut oil. Peeps always say I look late 20s and I’m late 30s. Word.
Random question- for some reason I couldn’t comment on your post yesterday. Why did you soak the potatoes in ice water? What benefit does it have? J/W. I suppose I could just Google it lol.
yeah….I just go to Ross. Or TJMaxx or Marshalls. I get my stuff for super cheap there. Someone may have already suggested that but I didn’t want to read through your bazillion comments. Love the blog!
