At age 24 I married. At age 25 my first daughter was born. At age 30 my second daughter was born. During those years I owned my own business, kept house, loved my family and fulfilled my duty as a wife the best way I knew how. At age 39, my life changed. I had recently lost my grandmother and was having a very difficult time coping. I began to see my life as someone looking in would view it. Some of the things I saw made me realize that something had to change. At age 38, my marriage of 14 years was over. I was starting a new life.

How does someone find what they need inside of themselves to go out there and face the world as an individual when all they know is being part of a unit? How can someone that looked in the mirror for so many years, not liking what they saw, open their eyes and see a vibrant, happy, emotionally content person? How is someone able to find the confidence and self assuredness they once emitted as a flirty, younger woman with their whole future ahead of them?

Life is not an episode of Sex in the City. Four of our closest girlfriends are not going to show up at our door, dress us in a sexy outfit and take us to a club where we dance, meet the latest J.Crew model who adores us and solve all of life’s challenges in a 60 minute condensed version of happily ever after.

It takes baby steps to pull yourself back up and reorganize your world. There is a transformation that occurs within as you rediscover your strengths and prioritize your needs. To some extent, you need to reinvent yourself as you get comfortable with being an individual again.

As you work on your insides, something begins to happen on the outside. You become stronger inside and begin to gain self confidence. Your smile shines, perhaps a new wardrobe is in order, eventually you want to put yourself back out there in the dating world.

Looking in the mirror, you see the strides you have made. You also see the lines that have been drawn, the wrinkles and creases that didn’t seem to matter before. Do you have to carry those leftovers with you as you begin anew? The resounding answer is NO. You are starting over; you are transforming all facets of your life; including your facial appearance.

The Iphone Fivein5 facial exercises are designed to be effective, chemical free, simple exercises that will erase the tell-tale signs of your previous life. A one- time fee of only $4.95 and five minutes of your day is all you need to strengthen and tone the muscles in your facial and neck area. Blood flow will increase to rejuvenate the strengthened and toned areas to bring back the vibrant, healthy appearance you once had. Lines and wrinkles will disappear. It won’t be long before the day comes when you will look in the mirror and realize… You’re back. You’re ready. You have come full circle.

Oh, what a wonderful day that will be. Trust me. It will happen. It happened for me. Here I am, on the cusp of my 42nd year, and life is good. I have rediscovered myself, and am now happily married again.
The journey was frightening but you know what? It was totally worth it.

Looking back through pictures from years and years ago can be a frightening awakening. You see the smooth, glowing skin from your heydays. Bright, toned, healthy complexion. For many of us, the wear and tear of managing a family, raising children and also working outside of the home can take a big role in fading the face we see in pictures from our past.

How many of us have put in a days work outside of the home and then put in practically another full days work once we’ve clocked out at the office? There’s picking up the children, maybe stopping at the grocery store or running other errands you couldn’t do while at the office, getting home and tossing a load of laundry in the washer, fixing dinner, tending to the children, cleaning etc… The list goes on and on for a typical woman in today’s times.

It isn’t any wonder your skin is worn out. It’s tired. Just like the rest of you. The circles under your eyes, the washed out tone, the wrinkles. Oh, the wrinkles. Moms worry. We worry about everything from wanting our children to be healthy and well adjusted individuals to mortgage payments; and everything in between. We worry about our friends’ problems, we worry about our extended family, and we worry if we remembered to do all that we had to get done today. And we worry about all the things we have to do tomorrow.

I have a suggestion. Take five minutes for yourself. You deserve it. Actually, you deserve more, but let’s not push it. Baby Steps. In those five minutes a day using the Fivein5 method, you can do some relaxing facial exercises that will rejuvenate and refresh your appearance. The telltale lines of worry will begin to visibly diminish within the first five days of use. Some women can immediately notice a lift in their eyebrows after the first session. It only takes 30 days to see significant results. That’s only two and a half hours out of your month and it is in five minute increments at a time.

The laundry can wait. The dusting can wait. Dinner can wait. Five minutes. Take them, for YOU.
