#TimeTravelTuesday: Young and Seventeen

I didn't know how smooth my skin was back then.

No wrinkles or age spots.

I should've washed my face everyday and not slept with make up on.

And I didn't know how to take care of my hair.

I should've paid attention to the hair products I used.

I should've put on lotion everyday.

And I shouldn't have sometimes slept with my contacts on.

I probably should've not eaten so much fast food every week either.

But I was young and seventeen.  I just didn't know any better.


Please join me for Time Travel Tuesday (& Almost Wordless Wednesday) link-up!  It’s sort of like Throwback Thursday or Flashback Friday, except it’s on Tuesdays and accompanies a post.

And I would sure appreciate if you linked back to me, but you don't have to.  Please spread the word, too!

    and you were lovely..... just as you are now also!!
    Ah, I say enjoy life. It should be a grand adventure, not a series of "what if" flashbacks.
    it's meant to be enjoyed right? especially during our carefree days of youth.

    although, yes, moderation is the key, right?

    and we are left with "repairing the damage"
    it would've been better if it was still preventative, right?
