    7 Things that no longer make me feel beautiful

    I’m 34 going on 35 this year, and over the last decade my mind has shifted as to what makes me feel beautiful. And in the last handful or so years, I’ve basically done away with the desire to look or feel “sexy” – with the exception of for my husband. I explain a bit…
