| No longer being able to bounce right out of bed. I used to tease my younger husband about how long it took him and the vocalizations he made. I’ve had my comeuppance. |

People in my family start having grey hair in their 20s. I never associated it with getting old.
Last summer when it was 100 degrees in DC for a while, I felt like I looked 10 years older. Never experienced it before and it was depressive. Then when it got cooler, my face looked normal again. |

My young adult DD had me double cleansing first with an oil cleanser and using Paula’s Choice BHA. She tells me my pores look much smaller. It’s hard for me to see a difference because my aging eyes can’t see the fine details anymore. |

Did I type that?? I have all of those. My right eyelid will no longer open fully and it truly alarms me but the eye doc didn't seem overly concerned. |

| Hair that does not have enough grey enough to give in, but has too much grey to go more than four weeks between touch-ups without looking unpolished. |
