I'm 32. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-think-you-look-your-age/page/2#post-697858 Sun, 07 Apr 2013 19:31:34 +0000 CupQuakeWalk 697858@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Everyone thinks my son is my baby brother and they gawk when I was pregnant. They also card me every time I even buy cough medicine, so i'd say younger:/<br /> One lady asked me what grade I was in. That actually pissed me off. I can see, thinking I am 21 but not 17!!! I am 24. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-think-you-look-your-age/page/2#post-697853 Sun, 07 Apr 2013 19:27:15 +0000 mlm2934 697853@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Definitely would say young, get carded every time, and I'm 27. I feel so bad if I buy pregnancy tests in store, worried that I look like a scared college student haha </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-think-you-look-your-age/page/2#post-669258 Tue, 26 Mar 2013 17:57:37 +0000 Sweet T 669258@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I look younger. I got my fair share of looks when I was pregnant with DS. Most people think I'm around 16. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-think-you-look-your-age/page/2#post-669246 Tue, 26 Mar 2013 17:52:14 +0000 Maysprout 669246@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I look younger in the summer than the winter. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-think-you-look-your-age/page/2#post-669187 Tue, 26 Mar 2013 17:00:55 +0000 Mrs. Oatmeal 669187@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Younger, for the most part. When I was wedding dress shopping, so many people asked me if I was looking for a prom dress. Nope. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-think-you-look-your-age/page/2#post-669185 Tue, 26 Mar 2013 17:00:09 +0000 Dandelion 669185@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I look younger. My voice is really kid-like, too, so that doesn't help so much. DH is only a year older than me, but I'm sure people think he went much younger with me, lol </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-think-you-look-your-age/page/2#post-669184 Tue, 26 Mar 2013 16:59:37 +0000 Mrs. Champagne 669184@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Pen: such a good pic of you, btw! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-think-you-look-your-age/page/2#post-669181 Tue, 26 Mar 2013 16:57:48 +0000 LindsayInNY 669181@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Pen: Whoops, way off!! I'm trying to find a good picture of me... I think it depends on how I'm dressed/made up. Here are some - <a href="http://lindsayinnyc.wordpress.com/tag/wedding/" rel="nofollow">http://lindsayinnyc.wordpress.com/tag/wedding/</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-think-you-look-your-age/page/2#post-669169 Tue, 26 Mar 2013 16:54:57 +0000 JennyLayneAZ 669169@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Hmm, I don't know. I just turned 30 and I definitely don't 'feel' 30 (whatever that means LOL) but I feel I look about my age. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-think-you-look-your-age/page/2#post-669168 Tue, 26 Mar 2013 16:54:34 +0000 Reese 669168@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Pen: I was close! People always come to the door and ask to speak to the owners of the house...ermm ya that would be me and no I dont want any - thanks. </p> <p> You have great skin and don't wear a lot of make up (it seems) which gives you that younger/fresh look :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-think-you-look-your-age/page/2#post-669165 Tue, 26 Mar 2013 16:52:33 +0000 Mrs. Pen 669165@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@LindsayInNYC: 23 :) I am young, def on the younger spectrum of the boards in general :) I was 20 when I got married. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-think-you-look-your-age/page/2#post-669164 Tue, 26 Mar 2013 16:52:27 +0000 pui 669164@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think I look my age </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-think-you-look-your-age/page/2#post-669156 Tue, 26 Mar 2013 16:50:05 +0000 LindsayInNY 669156@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Pen: That's because I think everyone is my age and I'm late 20s!! I think I look young for my age though... So, how old are you?! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-think-you-look-your-age/page/2#post-669151 Tue, 26 Mar 2013 16:47:10 +0000 Mrs. Pen 669151@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Reese: HA! Omg! That's hilarious. When I first was married I was often mistaken for a teenager, I actually had the ups guy at the door ask me if my parents were home :-p</p> <p>@LindsayInNYC: lol I find it hilarious that you said late twenties and Reese said late teens. Could you be more opposite?!? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-think-you-look-your-age/page/2#post-668475 Tue, 26 Mar 2013 13:45:31 +0000 LindsayInNY 668475@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Anagram: I love my dermatologist but she's in midtown =/ </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-think-you-look-your-age/page/2#post-668462 Tue, 26 Mar 2013 13:42:58 +0000 LuLu Mom 668462@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm almost 28 and I frequently have people card me or look at me sadly when they see me with my baby. It used to bother me now I just laugh. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-think-you-look-your-age/page/2#post-668457 Tue, 26 Mar 2013 13:42:23 +0000 MsLipGloss 668457@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Anagram: Right! Not during pg or while BFing (just to be safe!). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-think-you-look-your-age/page/2#post-668451 Tue, 26 Mar 2013 13:41:18 +0000 Anagram 668451@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MsLipGloss: yeahhh...I need a good dermatologist here so I can get some. But I'm assuming I can't use it during pregnancy? What about during BFing? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-think-you-look-your-age/page/2#post-668450 Tue, 26 Mar 2013 13:41:17 +0000 MsLipGloss 668450@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@LindsayInNYC: Yep! Sometimes it takes spacing out a few applications a week to build up to being able to apply daily (and tolerate it without any redness/flaking), but yes!</p> <p>ETA: Oh, and a thin application is best. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-think-you-look-your-age/page/2#post-668441 Tue, 26 Mar 2013 13:38:56 +0000 MrsH 668441@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I look way younger :( I'm 31 and got carded for an r rated movie, booze, and lotto tickets within the past month. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-think-you-look-your-age/page/2#post-668430 Tue, 26 Mar 2013 13:36:27 +0000 Reese 668430@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Pen: If someone sent me this pic and said "this is my 18 year old sister holding my son" - I wouldn't think twice</p> <p>Reasonably.. I know that is likely not the case - so I am going to say mid 20's </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-think-you-look-your-age/page/2#post-668414 Tue, 26 Mar 2013 13:33:13 +0000 LindsayInNY 668414@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MsLipGloss: Seriously? I have Ziana gel which is a combo of Clindamycin (antibiotic) and Tretinoin (Retin A) - I heard it worked for wrinkles but never consistently used it. Just apply every day? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-think-you-look-your-age/page/2#post-668397 Tue, 26 Mar 2013 13:28:30 +0000 MsLipGloss 668397@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Anagram: @LindsayInNYC: @Amelieisme: Retin A is your friend ladies . . . seriously! Regular use will take at least 5 years off your appearance age. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-think-you-look-your-age/page/2#post-668389 Tue, 26 Mar 2013 13:26:52 +0000 Amelieisme 668389@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@LindsayInNYC: @Anagram: I'm with ya on the wrinkles! I feel like I used to look young for my age, but now I have those darn wrinkles on my forehead. Lovely. I don't have any crow's feet or smile lines. Just ones from scowling. Nice to know I obviously am scowling all the time! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-think-you-look-your-age/page/2#post-668367 Tue, 26 Mar 2013 13:17:54 +0000 Alivoo01 668367@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Younger. People are always asking how HS is or if I'm enjoying my (insert holiday/season) break. I'm 27, almost 28!</p> <p>Here's a convo I had just 2 weeks ago with a customer of ours:<br /> Him: How's school?<br /> Me: I already graduated.<br /> Him: Oh I know you've graduated from HS. I meant College.<br /> Me: That's what I meant. I graduated from college 7 years ago with a double major from OU....<br /> Him: Oh. haha! Okay. see you later.<br /> Me: (O_O) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-think-you-look-your-age/page/2#post-668340 Tue, 26 Mar 2013 13:13:14 +0000 LindsayInNY 668340@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Anagram: I'm with ya on the wrinkles! I'm super pale too but they're a TON worse when I wear my glasses. For some reason I constantly shrug my forehead/nose up which creates wrinkles all across my forehead! :( </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-think-you-look-your-age/page/2#post-668336 Tue, 26 Mar 2013 13:12:15 +0000 LindsayInNY 668336@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Pen: I have no clue! I think everyone looks my age though, LOL! Late 20s? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-think-you-look-your-age/page/2#post-668318 Tue, 26 Mar 2013 13:07:18 +0000 Anagram 668318@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think I might have looked a year or two younger before pregnancy (not much), but now I feel like I totally look my age. Sad face.</p> <p>I seriously hate being so fair (which = thin, dry, wrinkle prone skin) when my husband who has LOTS of melatonin will probably never have wrinkles. SIGH. DOUBLE SIGH. I might give myself a present for the end of breasfeeding in a year 1/2--botox! heh.</p> <p>If this were a gold thread, I would totally show pics that highlight the wrinkles, lol. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-think-you-look-your-age/page/2#post-668275 Tue, 26 Mar 2013 12:58:28 +0000 mrsjyw 668275@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I look younger, at least that's what most people tell me. </p>
