Getting Ready - Then and Now

While getting ready to pick up David at the airport yesterday, I realized my pre-date primping routine has changed somewhat.

Years ago:

• Shower
• Shave
• Tweeze brows
• Spend 30 minutes figuring out what to wear
• Comb out towel-dried hair
• Blow dry hair if being picked up - dry it in the car w/ windows down if meeting somewhere
• Apply mascara

Now:

• Shower
• Exfoliate
• Shave
• Spend 30 minutes checking/tweezing mustache growth, tweezing stray eyebrow hairs, trimming stray nose hairs, plucking unsightly grey hair
• Apply high-powered SPF
  
• Carefully apply tinted moisturizer
• Apply Burt's cover up to unsightly spots if necessary
• Spend 5 minutes figuring out what to wear
• Comb out towel-dried hair
• Apply hair-thickening serum
• Blow dry hair to maximize product effect
• Apply de-frizzy serum as necessary to minimize fly-aways
• Apply mascara
  

I can only imagine that in another 10 years I'll be back to the short list, because by that point, really, who am I kidding?
