[quote=Anonymous]The pandemic was absolutely terrible for me. I have posted here before but I got Covid while pregnant, and later had to have a hysterectomy. My looks really went downhill plus I had to lose 50 lbs. It took 2 years but I think I’ve accepted my new look now that I’ve lost the weight an plateaued. Here’s what worked for me (in order of importance): -antidepressants, I saw a psychologist and was prescribed Wellbutrin and fluoxetine for Covid brain fog and depression and it’s been life changing. I have motivation to move my body, my life is not a struggle, I still don’t exercise but I do move body more (walks etc), and it allowed me to tackle the below - Good skincare, Genifique serum and eye cream every night and retin A twice a week, and an overnight heavy cream, always put it on the neck, Olay sensitive sunscreen from Target all over face neck and décolletage - Supplements, I now take fish oil, vitamin E, SuperBeauty, biotin, vitamin D and a vitamin gummy -Collagen in my coffee, Vital proteins, helps me stay hydrated and face a bit more puffy in a good way -Boiled egg every morning with carrot juice - new wardrobe: I did Lou and Grey Ann Taylor Loft for work from home days, and got some Ann Taylor suits that you can machine wash for work, and a couple of shells -highlights and a shorter cut with lots of layers, my hair looks bouncy when I do a blowout -an earring round of different studs from Ann Taylor. Jewelry is a mood booster and nice to rest your eye on. -Botox, baby levels, in my forehead and eye crinkles I think I look just better but who knows if I look younger. The Botox was the smallest fix, everything else was much more important. If you have to prioritize, I would suggest starting with a full physical and if necessary psychiatrist to make sure you don’t have underlying issues, and then get on the Supplement train. [/quote]
