On the Road to 50: Taking Inventory Day 1

     It's 27 days until my 49th birthday. Not a monumental birthday but the doorway to the halfway point. I feel like I have done well in maintaining this body over the last 48 years, but, something tells me I could have done better. So in the interest of science and the beauty industry, I plan on taking the next year to reverse the damage I might have caused over the last four decades.

   Before I can begin, I must assess the damage. For the next 26 days, I will be taking a thorough inventory of the areas that could use some improvement. Over the next year, I will be searching out the methods to produce those improvements and sharing all of these lovely findings with you, my loyal readers.

   Inventory:

      Hair - thin, graying
      Face - loss of elasticity all over, 2 new moles (ick), strange bumps on cheek (re-occuring), color is good, more peach fuzz on cheeks and the unfortunate coarse hairs showing up in the lip line. Fine lines around the eyes, deeper lines on forehead and smile area. Brows are thinning on the ends and showing signs of graying.
      Neck - photo damage but good elasticity, no double chin (yea!)
