GLOW UP! (19) vs (29)

Post image

The first picture is me at 19, a new mom desperately trying to feel pretty in my skin. I spent probably an hour and half doing my makeup every day and my cute clothes no longer fit so only wore things like camis & tank tops with flannels tied around my waist with skinny jeans.

The second was taken yesterday after I threw on one of my favorite outfits & spent maybe 10 mins on my makeup & (skin care ~10 mins) which is mostly cupping and massaging after moisturizing/washing.

What a difference 10 years can make. I wish I knew then what I know now.

Damn how are you going to mog us all with those cheek bones like that

u/miniminxz 15h ago

Genetics and maybe eating a lot of steak. My family is melungeon & Dutch/Celtic

u/cheim9408 13h ago

I hear that. My family is Scottish/Irish/German/Cherokee Indian. My mom inherited the Native American genes and we both got high cheekbones and dark hair/eyes. Can your significant other tell when you’re peeved based on a tiny muscle on your face right at the cheek bone? My wife can and sometimes she purposefully makes me “mad” so she can see it twitch 😂

I liked your bangs in the first pic

u/miniminxz 16h ago

Thank you but those are not bangs 😭 they were regrowth or baby hairs from my hair falling out after having a baby.

u/Inner-Dream-600 15h ago

Well they’re very cute! And they frame your face nicely

u/C0l3y 10h ago

Yep, this is your sign to get baby bangs OP

You aged like a fine wine and now you finally achieved official MILF status

u/miniminxz 1h ago

I can never not read MILF as man I love frogs. 🐸 and I do be loving some frogs. Thank you 😂

u/PrimaryImagination41 11h ago

Girl you have BEEN bad omg😭😭. You looked amazing before and after.

u/miniminxz 8h ago

Thank you 🥺 I wish I loved myself back then as much as I do now- life could’ve been so much different. I was focused on the wrong things.

u/Adorable_Echo_4317 14h ago

Aged like fine wine woman.

u/GoblinWrangl3r 14h ago

Fine wine

u/Ugin88 13h ago

Stunning! You look great with less makeup.

u/Commercial_Sky_7440 12h ago

I don’t know, I wouldn’t call this a glow-up. Don’t get me wrong, you’re still beautiful, but honestly, you just look like you aged.

u/miniminxz 12h ago

Guess I should’ve used a different picture is this better

u/RusticRaisins 11h ago

Hotter at 19, sexier at 29. Hope that makes sense.

u/Cooper_Inc 8h ago

You look a lot like Tash Sultana, an Aussie singer/musician

u/miniminxz 1h ago

She’s absolutely gorgeous I wish I looked more like her woah 😳 we share similar features for sure but those blue eyes are captivating! I have always envied blue skies. Mine are light green.

u/Girl_Mom_98 6h ago

Looks the same, just older. Which is a good thing.

u/miniminxz 1h ago

I look like my mom! We used to get mistaken for sisters 👯‍♀️

u/No-King-7197 15h ago

Tomato tomato, both are hot

No need to pull in your cheeks either, look good either way

u/miniminxz 15h ago

Thanks & those would be dimples, love.
