After one too many glasses of fine mulled wine at the local pub last night - which incidently made The Guardian's top 50 festive pubs list - That's Not My Age is feeling her age. The south London boozer is proper traditional, like - serving the best mulled wine this side of the Thames, full of cloves and spices, each glass made to order - and as reviewer, Garth Cartwright points out, ' The Hermit's Cave offers plenty of consistency. Why I don't think they've changed the carpet (or anything else) since I first started supping there in 1994.'
So, it was a huge relief when the anti-age introductory set from Aromatherapy Associates landed on my doormat. This selection of skincare products made from natural ingredients and essential oils is going to give me a 'firm, plumped and more youthful complexion.' Hooray! So readers, I am going to conduct a little experiment. Mr That's Not My Age will take the before and after shots, and unlike the misleading Twiggy/Olay advert, these photos will be natural, untouched, wrinkles-and-all. You have been warned!

The thing about the twiggy ad is she doesn't even look good - just odd...which doesn't make me want to buy the product at all! Look forward to seeing your beauty test results and congrats on the Stella Mag mention.
If you drink enough mulled wine you won't care what you look like or indeed will be able to focus for long enough to notice the difference.
Thank you fabhat - and you're right, the Twigster does look really odd. I'm a bit worried that a close-up of my wrinkles might be quite frightening!
oops clicked too soon - FG maybe a mulled wine curfew before the photo then?
Oooh that's exciting - you do the best of things for us in the name of reseach - thank you! (by the way, just as we have got to shortening names terms (was Anoninoz - 'Anon') - I have changed name to that of my blog - sorry for any confusion) To add to that caused by mulled wine! LOVE mulled wine - don't really get it here alas.
If the products work, I will buy them!
the pub to which you refer serves the best mulled wine anywhere. fact
Looking fab - I'll keep you posted - though it would take a miracle cream to shift some of my wrinkles!
Adrienne - you're not wrong.
Thanks for posting your insights and experiences.
Anybody looking for Fluorene
