Partying in our early twenties/my days as a blonde
I kind of feel like I woke up one day to discover that my twenties had flown by. Do you ever feel like that? Time can be such a tricky little thing. My mom says that she looks in the mirror expecting to see herself at 25 and is shocked by the 50-something-year-old woman who stares back at her. (Especially because she’d be quick to tell you she’s not a day past 49.) I never truly understood that until I entered my *cough* late twenties *cough*. Even now I can see and feel the changes that I’ve gone through both physically and mentally in just the last 10 years! I bring this up because you might remember that I was recently in Toronto on the set of something slightly mysterious. Well, it’s time to share that I, along with some other awesome Canadian bloggers, was working with Neutrogena on filming ‘A Tale Of Transitions’. The process that was actually more challenging than I thought it would be: we were given themes/topics and had to come up with a relevant story that was then told on camera on a most amazing, but intimidating set.
Rocking an all denim dress in high school, as you do.
It was a BLAST being on camera. Like, hellooooo new career goals! But the most enjoyable parts were probably having to think back to days gone by and getting an opportunity to tell these old stories. For instance, one segment was titled “a tale of firsts”. I went back and forth about what stuck out most in my memory. I initially thought I might share a snippet of my terrible first kiss with a very handsome boy whom I had absolutely nothing in common with. I was fifteen (a late bloomer, okay?) and we were standing at the front door of my house saying goodbye. As I’d never had the experience of lip locking, or even this intimate a moment with a guy before, I didn’t know the warning sign of an imminent kiss. Right there, on the front porch, I had an awkward, slobbery mess of a smooch. As this terrible but life changing-moment was happening, my best friend’s dad and next door neighbour happened to be pulling into their driveway. The car’s headlights bathed us in an ironic spotlight that lasted long enough for him to witness this spit-filled teenage kiss. The next day, she revealed to me that she received an awkward sex talk that night from her father thanks to me. I honestly didn’t kiss anyone for at least a year after that, but at least my friend next door and I had something hilarious to laugh about for years. Where was I? Oh right, the tale of firsts. On camera, I ended up telling a funny story about the first place I moved out to. Oh the joys of being young. What first experience would you share?
