Happy Birthday and I have been 29 for a looooong time too.You are too young to have grandkids but they keep me feeling young and put a smile on my face which makes you look younger.I hope.
I visited Amanda Jean! What a lovely blog! elonie.sheen@gmail.com
Happy Birthday! Play with babies and puppies. They keep you young!
I think the best way to turn back the aging clock is to keep a smile on your face! If I end up with deep craggy laugh lines at the end of my life, then that's an outward sign of a pretty happy life, don't ya think? Ok, and for real now: use a good face moisturizer all the time and don't forget about your neck! Who wants a youthful face with a "turkey neck"? Not me!
I turned 50 this year. I remember 37. For me, 50 is better...in most ways. Happy Birthday!

Please enter me in the drawing.
I am 55 yrs young so be glad you are still in your 30's. You have accomplished so much for your young age. Things to do to stay healthy and younger looking: don't smoke and don't drink excessively, use an anti-wrinkle cream daily, don't forget your neck, try to keep your stress at a controllable level (kind of hard with 4 kids), and hug your family and friends alot!

Happy happy birthday. I wish I could turn back the aging clock, but I will say I don't feel as old as I am. I have a great relationship with my daughters and we enjoy hanging out together. (it wasnt always that way!!) Even my oldest daughter's boyfriend feels like family and they keep us young. We laugh and joke and have a blast.
My husband keeps me turning back the clock by taking us on adventures like hiking into the Grand Canyon (after a year preparation). Exercise is my key, but something you love.

Happy Birthday!! Have a wonderful day!
I totally enjoy getting older, and I love having grandkids and sharing their toys and books with them.
I think having a great relationship with my husband keeps me young. We laugh about what is going on as much as we can, rather than cry. And we talk about "What if..."s a lot. We also believe in the future, no matter how bleak things may appear; I guess we're Trekkies, in that way, lol.
I think we've learned much from of this out of necessity. (We drink a nutrition drink, too!)
And I use Eucerin Intensive Repair hand cream to wash my face.
That's my mishmash of tips. Hope these help! Thanks for the giveaway!
Diane cityofenoch(at)msn(dot)com
Happy birthday! Laughter and having fun are what I think keeps you young - well young at heart and never take yourself too seriously. I do hear some women swear by mayo, but I've never tried it (other than on a sandwich).
Laugh every single day - that is the requirement! My 96 YO MIL said so.
Happy Birthday! Wine in good doses. I see it as a preservative. That, and lots of chocolate.
I don't have any good advice for turning back the clock, but instead just enjoy the moment you are in.
Happy Birthday! I am right on your heels; 37 comes in April for me.

Happy birthday!
I'm a great believer in moisturizer and telling the odd white lie. For the longest time, I had my kids believing that when mothers turned 30, they actually started getting younger rather than older. They're 18 & 22 now and hip to my game, but it was good while it lasted. ;)

Happy Birthday! I'm less than two months to 40 now, so I have to be serious about turning back the clock. First, I just had a baby. Sometimes it actually makes me feel older, especially since my husband has nieces and nephews who have also delivered this year. But I figure it will force me to stay young. Second, I stopped eating carbs. I've been trying to do it for two years now, but I finally made it stick.
Hope I can get this book because I follow Amanda Jean and I've been wanting it!
I turn back the clock by having regular temper tantrums...then I feel like 2 instead of almost 35. ;)
Went to CMQ and said hello! Thanks!
Went to Cheryl's to say hello. Thanks!
Happy Birthday! Eating healthy foods, and I should be exercising (I am not very motivated to that though) :) And lots of laughing.

Well, Happy Happy Birthday. I've got a few years on you (just a head start) so I will say, generally, turning back the clock is difficult. I do love Clinique's All About Eyes cream which seems to diminish the black circle puffy eyes thing a bit. Its pricey, so I usually get it from a gift with purchase.

I tried being 27 again for a few years, but my family wouldn't let me get away with it :-(
So now I'm just going to have to grow old disgracefully and see how that turns out!
Love the giveaway & Happy 29th Birthday! :-)
My 81 year old mother is recovering from a soccer goalie injury - sprained wrist. She eats healthy, takes supplements, works in the yard and grows a garden (she mows our 5 acres), and baby sits her 5 great granddaughters. Stay active and forget the worry about wrinkles (wrinkles amaze young children by-the-way). Oh! my mother is an active quilter (piecing and handquilting). Now I on the other hand, have the health of someone very much older. Hopefully, my health status will change before I turn 30 (as I am 29 too)
Happy Birthday!
My recipe is - less work, more rest! (quilting is a rest for sure).

Visited Cheryl's blog for the first time. I will definitely be back there. She really is awesome.
I turned 25 this year and my brother keeps telling me I'm so old. I guess it's all about perspective. I think eating healthy, exercise and laughter are the keys to staying young.
I turned 37 in September. It's not so bad. Most of the time I still feel like I'm 25. Then I remember I'm a married mother of four now. Much different than 25.
Happy birthday!

The best way to keep the clock from ticking forward is to play like a child...laugh like a child and eat chocolate like a child. And if you ever forget how, borrow a child and do those things with them :o)
As my grandmother always said....keep busy and make younger friends. She lived to almost 104. I'll tell you that each decade gets better. I would hate to go back to my 20s or 30s.

I eat chocolate. It makes me feel young at heart at least
I'm only 24, so I'm not thinking about that yet. Hopefully I end up like my mom and look 36 until I'm 50! (a girl can dream, right?)

Happy Birthday. I do not turn back the clock. I age naturally. I love my gray hair and all I do is buy the loreal gray shampoo just to make them sparkle more.
I visited Amanda. She has made the coolest rug!
I visited Cheryl and she is blogging about the coolest bag today.
Happy birthday! 37 is great, and that's coming from someone who might remember what that age was like! Give up worrying what other people think...that keeps you young!
I turned 37 a month or so ago and had a bit of a freak out too! :) I know exactly how you feel. If I could turn the clock back I would only be able to go back 6 years though or I wouldn't have met my gorgeous man. I have no wonderful age defying secets sorry, just enjoy everything while you can :)
And I stopped by to say hello to Amanda!3
Ok- the aging thing. I turned 50 this year and just embrace it. I have so many more life experiences (some good, some bad) but feel prepared to face whatever comes my way. I have a friend who says that if you pick an odd number (say 27 or 32) that it is more believable than saying 29 or 39. Just a thought. Thanks for the giveaway and enjoy the time with your mom.
I visited Amanda Jean's blog- again.
I went to visit Cheryl and left her some love.
Happy birthday!!! My kids make me feel older than my 24 years, so I'm no help! But for the sake of the argument, I'll say "Sew" ;)

Happy birthday Vanessa! I no longer try to turn back the clock. Now it's just about maintenance! Laugh some, love more, and use a good moisturizer!

Happy Birthday!! I'm almost the same age and in the same boat. I think the answer might be sleep. I haven't slept much since having our first baby 7 years ago. But I think that's the answer to feeling good, less wrinkles, etc. I just need to figure out how to get more sleep :-)

I think the most important thing is regular exercise. I used to pluck grey hairs to fight off that obvious sign of aging but have recently decided that if I continue I will have bald spots. Not good. I think age is just a number and having birthdays is better than the alternative!

Happy Birthday! Enjoy the clock; enjoy your time. I'm halfway to my goal of 110 (Gram lived to 104) and am SO thrilled that (if I'm lucky) I get to do it ALL again (maybe with fewer, but better, mistakes)!
I have had Amanda Jean and Cheryl's book since it came out, so if I win, please give the book to someone else - I'll take the scraps though! Just organized mine today.
All the best, and thanks for the discount on your patterns!

How fun would it be to get it early?
To keep young... I use sun screen!
Seriously- sunscreen on my face everyday in my moisturizer. I don't think the brand matters as much as a moisturizer with at least some SPF
HAPPY BIRTHDAY!
Happy birthday! I wish I knew the answer to turning back the clock - or at least slowing it down a bit!
It is ok to get older. It beats the alternative. Hints are moisturizer, stay out of the sun, no smoking, and lastly have a child 10 days before you turn 40. Motherhood keeps you young.

Have a happy birthday! I just picked up a junior ombre jelly roll at a quilt show this afternoon so as soon as I got home I ordered up your Bloom pattern. Can't wait to make it.

happy birthday! I'm turning 40 in february and it is just about the scariest thing ever. And I guess if I win everyone will know how old I am - don't post my post if I win, ok? My big tip is moisturize, moisturize, moisturize. I use a mix of jojoba, rose hip and avocado oils since "moisturizers" break me out and still leave me flakey. Nothing like being old and zit faced! So decent skin... Oh, and attitude. You've got to think young to be young. So 2 secrets I guess.

Happy Birthday! I don't want to go backwards age wise, I'm finally able to relax :-)! Though it doesn't seem 20 years ago that I was 37, yikes!
ahh...the "stay young" answer would have to be two fold: laugh more & play w. your kiddos.

The looming 40 is bugging me a bit too. Sigh. What do you do? The only alternative is to die, and I choose being 40. ;)
Happy birthday! Don't get hung up on that silly number! The bigger it becomes, the more blessed you have been. Treasure each moment. Every grey hair. Every beautifully earned wrinkle.(when you do actually get them!)
Happy birthday! To turn back the clock I run, it makes me feel quick. :-)
well, I'm only 26 so this is coming from not TOO much experience on turning back the clock (:D) but I've found that I feel youngest, most alive, when I'm choosing joy every day. Happiest of birthdays!

I just embrace the life of a kid...I laugh out loud, I speak my mind with the frankness usually reserved for children. I make snow angels at the drop of a hat, I dance in the rain and I laugh hysterically at a fart...everytime. I don't care who you are, how old you are or what you grew up to be, but fart equals funny.

I love your awesomeness and your calves too, and that you are just 29! glen: who has to admit to now being only 39......
Happy Birthday, V! I turn the clock back with a nice brisk walk with my dogs every morning!
I already have the book but I wanted to wish you a happy birthday. I am two years and seven days older than you. Happy day.
Commented on Amanda's cute little blog, too!
Happy Birthday! It's all in the attitude and you have a funny easy-going attitude!I'm way older than you and I don't like it either but...oh well.
I just forget how old I am. I swear I'm still 19, but I am far from it.
Oh and I don't shop at the mall...the fashions baffle me.

the aging dilemma? i am deeply in denial! rush88888 at gmail dot com
Happy 29th Birthday !!! Woo hoo. Your blog is great, it brings a great big smile to both me and my 10 year old daugthers faces. She thinks your very funny too.
I like using Dr Haushka or Jurlique.
But the most important thing I find that helps is to SMILE (and lots), esp when not feeling your best and to help get back to sleep. Its my little trick but a wonderful gratitude inducer and humbler.
Your blogs certainly makes me SMILE too. Thank you for that. Love your creativity too.

Happy Birthday! Turning back the aging process - make sure you take time to refresh yourself even if it is only for a few minutes each day, or a chunk of time on one day... you need time for you! :)

I haven't figured out how to turn back the clock yet. I turned 66 last Monday, the 5th, and that's the first time I've seen it written down!! I used to say I was "21 and some months", which I stole from someone, but I don't remember who (because I'm 66..lol). Then, when I turned 41, I realized that I was 21 and 240 months! I have learned that every day above ground is a good day!

Be happy! Nothing makes you seem older than a sour disposition :-( Happy Birthday and don't worry about your fortie - they really aren't bad at all. I am a little concerned, though, about my upcoming fifties :-) Thanks, too, for the great giveaway chance - what a wonderful book... and SCRAPS - I love scraps!!!!
Vitamin C, vitamin D, and vitamins-12, seems to make me feel better and I'm 60 blankin' 1! I love your blog!
