Chuffed to bits!

[Globules]

I've had 4 different women comment to me in the last 2 days that I look great, my outfit looks very put together, but effortless, I look early 30s (I'm late 40s), got loads of energy, and my favourite, that I look "fresh as fuck"

All strangers. 2 in toilets. 2 sitting in cafes. No special events, just going about my day.

Buzzing!

Not on AIBU but YABU to not share your skincare routine and outfit.

Is "Fresh as fuck" what the kids say these days?

Send help!

'Fresh as fuck'. Are you sure they weren't talking about the rolls in the cafe?

It feels good though doesn't it? When you get random compliments.

I love it and I try to be as complimentary as I can to others when they look good too.

Yes do tell! I’m imagining ‘fresh as fuck’ means that glow you have the day after having sex for the first time in a while?!

does it get any better than ‘fresh as fuck!’ 🙌🏻

Oh if that's the case I don't need help. I'll be glowing tomorrow!

Well, you must be doing something right, OP!

Well now you need to share your outfit and skin care tricks so we can aspire to be fresh as fuck. Iam also late 40s and currently looking 'a little bit fucked' and not in a nice post coital glow way....more the car failed it's MOT way.

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Pink shirt from H&M loosely tucked in.
Long Tesco denim skirt with a slit in the front up to the knees.
Baby pink belt from Primarni.
White flipflops from deichmann.

Skincare routine is miscellar water at night 3/7 days. Then Aldi caviar night cream. Always moisturise my face and neck every morning with Aldi caviar day cream after using my Tesco face wash in the shower.

Last month, I started taking bovine collegan daily following a recommendation on here.

Best bit is I asked the fresh as fuck 27 yr old woman to record my 20 year old son a message. He never believes me when I tell him it happens. DS was particularly shocked to hear about the 19 year old who tried to pull me in a bar in February. He and his mates thought I was early 30s.

So I asked 27 yr old to do a voice note I could send my son. She was very happy to oblige. And I'm very very happy to keep the voice note!

Edit: definitely no post coital glow going on, sadly.

Ok, the voice note is weird.

Is this real, why would you send your DS a voice note about this or tell him about the 18 year old in a bar?

You got a wonan to record a voice note for your son telling you that "you look fresh as fuck"?? Fgs.

Because it's fun? 🤷

My age is an ongoing thing my children love to wind me up about. I tell them people tell me I don't look my age. They don't believe me. DS told me next time I needed proof.

27yr old was more than happy to oblige. I got the sense that she loves life too from the way she engaged with me.

It's amazing how some MNetters can always be relied upon to find the glass half empty in anything.

.

Maybe it’s the collagen 🤔

I’m not kidding! I hear good things about it. What’s better though, marine or bovine?

😂

Have a read through this.

I decided to go bovine. I now start my day with a cup of Bovril flavoured coffee each morning. 😁

Although the 19 year old tried to pull me a month before I started taking it 😜

Oh that's more than a bit weird.

I think I would've felt very uncomfortable if I was them.

Another post completely missing the point...

It's really not weird for people like me, and her it seems, who are comfortable and happy being positive people, who talk to strangers and are engaging and fun.

She offered to ring my son and tell him. Which is how the voice note request came about.

It's really not weird for people like me, and her it seems, who are comfortable and happy being positive people, who talk to strangers and are engaging and fun.

Fair enough, but as someone who is also comfortable and happy being a positive person who talks to strangers and who is engaging and fun, I still find it weird.

Horses for courses I guess.

Can you link to the bovine collagen please?
