Awww you look awesome!! Is it just me or do your eyes become about 10 times more blue as the years pass?

I'm using something called SkinCeuticals CE ferulic acid. It's so good and is clearing some acne marks I had, although slowly. Raw food will keep you looking young, just don't ruin your skin with too much sun. We only need 15-30 minutes to produce vitamin D for average person. I wish more raw foodists would protect their skin :-)

I think that when you get older you may need more sun as I find that I want more of it and there must be a reason for that.
There is a reason for everything.

[Matthew182]

Sure we DO need vitamin D from the sun, also exposure to 'sunlight' but no need for direct sunlight. We all know of that good feeling you get from being in the sun, it really just lifts your mood. I think that excessive sun exposure is the problem, learn to moderate and you can feel good, and get what you need without any significant damage. The reason older people need more sun to get the vitamin D is because the ability to convert to the active metabolites 1,25-hydroxy D is impaired. So in this case, supplementing either Vitamin D2 or pref Vitamin D3 is important to maintain sufficient levels...

26 Years old in October



hahaha =D

I had a funny experience the other day at a party. A women said to my mum, i didn't know that you had a younger son. My mum was like, i don't have a younger son!... the women thought i was 17 xD and so many other people. and they wanted to know my secrets... hahha

Wow, amazing.
Things like this make me excited about getting older. x) You look fantastic.

[strange_r]

You look much younger! That's amazing! My congratulations! :)

[bing]

Wow... very inspiring. Just hope that the youngest look that you can have is 15.

Kidding aside, part of my mind is saying that "this can not be true" but how can I deny this fact?

I wish I can have that result also. Being a tall lady and not having a friendly face makes me look older than my age. I'm now 25 and just started raw last week. I'll take a photo after this post.. :) And I'll be back after 5 years..

[Matthew182]

just an update. I've been doing CR now for 9 years or something. I am not completely raw; I eat some cooked food (tomatoes, sweet potatoes and mixed veg). I supplement a lot, and take care of my skin.

27 years and 4 months old here





anyway I just wanted to give some inspiration to those who are starting young. To stay young and beautiful for longer.:)
