40

I just turned 40 about two weeks ago. Now I am not depressed or crying over time or anything. But I am very aware of the fact that I have been on the face of earth for 4 decades with three generations of people younger than me. That is quite something. Yet I don't know how I feel. I am online looking for indications like I want someone to tell how to feel. The truth is becoming a mother affecting my personality much more than turning 35 or 40 now. More or less I am the same person I was 20 years ago, maybe more assertive and open than I was then, which I attribute to aging and motherhood at the same time. But other than that I am mostly the same. So I couldn't help wonder, is there something I am missing? Should I feel something I am not? and if yes what is it and why don't I feel it? Maybe by the end of this year I'll find out. Or maybe my 40 is like my 30 not so significant. I felt a difference in me at 25, and then 35 so maybe 45 is the next leap digits for me.

For the first time in 16 years I feel like I want short hair. I have an appointment tomorrow for a hair cut where I plan on getting for the first time in 16 years an above the shoulder hair cut. Hope I don't regret it.

Can't make up my mind

I have been wanting to grow my hair which is already long to new lengths. But for a week now I have been thinking about nothing but cutting my hair to this.

Nail Polish

I decided to post a pic of every nail polish I have, since I am trying out all new colors all the time. This one is from Max Factor.

OH, I think explanation is due. During the last trimester of my pregnancy I usually develop a liking to something new. This last pregnancy I developed a liking to nail polish. I went out a bought a bunch of all different colors. My pregnancy is over now and my baby is 4 months old but my nail polish interest remains... :)

The value of time

It is true that as we get older time becomes more valuable. But parenthood puts an added spin on that. Time as a parent is not only more valuable but also more precious. Every passing moment is one to cherish...

Nivea make-up

I recently tried it and it is wonderful.The nail polish is great it does strengthen the nails and help them grow. The lipstick is so smooth and the colors are nice and look velvety soft and my lips feel moisturizer after I use it.
I just wanted to share as it is not such a popular brand around here so maybe if more peole hear about it it will pick up.

Me and motherhood

My hubby started us on the parenting road. He wanted to be a Dad. On the other hand my maternal instincts did ot kick in till I had my first baby. Now as I get older I'd like to have more and more, but as I hitting forty in a couple of weeks it is not logical to peruse that feeling any more, specially that I have 4 wonderful children now.
I am trying to focus on enjoying the short months of my baby's life as an infant, cherishing every moment of it. My other three children (8,6,4) are no less of a joy. Looking at how they grew so nicely and the anticipation of years to come gives life a whole and wonderful meaning.

No one leaves you with a dream...

like disney does.

I watched with my family Tangled and it was great. Just like every other movie of Disney I watched. I have no idea why they are going to stop their princess movies, with all the ugliness in the world one needs a dream every now and then. I am just hoping that they will still be able to dazzle us with other stories. Disney please keep the dream!!!
