Thoughts on being a 30+ blogger

There are age categories for everything, and usually I don’t pay them much attention. My skincare for example ranges from products aimed at teenage skin to an ampoule targeted at skin 60+ (here is the latest routine).     Age is a number and a privilege and doesn’t define us.
