Talk to L'Oreal about the things that no longer bother you (now you are older!) and you could win a fabulous goodie bag full of L'Oreal must-haves worth £200!

We've been asked by L'Oreal to find out from gransnetters what no longer stresses you out.

So, what did you used to worry about, but don't any longer? Maybe you used to get stressed over what people thought of you, Or perhaps entertaining used to cause you to fret unnecessarily, but now, you love it?

Whatever it is - L'Oreal would love to hear about it!

Everyone who adds a comment to this thread will be entered into a prize draw where one winner will receive the beauty goodie bag worth £200.

I no longer have inhibitions about lots of things that held me back so much when I was younger, plus I don't really care what other people think too much....I do things for me! I enjoy life alot more!

I no longer worry about my appalling memory. Now I'm at an age when most of my contemporaries have memory problems too so I can now blatently ask someone to remind me of their name without embarrassment.

I feel more confident in my skin and about my skin, I have a minor rosacea and the gentle products nowadays and foundations you can get are fabulous!

I don't worry about wearing 'fashionable' clothes. I wear what I like and what I'm comfortable in.

BlueNile57 Wed 28-Jan-15 17:29:34

Not having to wear the latest fashion, especially high heels..I'm now built for comfort not for style or speed...lol

clarejw Wed 28-Jan-15 17:22:26

I am happy in myself so no longer worry about other peoples views on how I dress, look etc.

finleypop Wed 28-Jan-15 17:14:21

I used to be very self conscious about my psoriosis, but now I accept it is just one part of me

JoJoB Wed 28-Jan-15 16:59:12

I'm not too bothered about what to do with my life anymore, it just seems to have happened anyway!

nightowl Wed 28-Jan-15 16:58:50

Bloody hell who are all these people? Amazing what lengths people will go to just to try to win a so called bag of goodies (not what I would call it but each to their own).

MimiJoy Wed 28-Jan-15 16:18:16

People can accept me how I am now - I don't worry about voicing my opinion any more (though I'm still conscious about not upsetting anyone!).
I don't worry about how I look as much and no longer dress to please others - comfort is far more important! Life is just too short to spend all your time worrying and spending endless time creating an image to please others.

I am defeating the science of aging - I am forever 27!

yourgrace123 Wed 28-Jan-15 16:11:20

named clothes

I no longer give a hoot about what people think any more, i seem to have wasted a lot of life worrying about whether people liked me and how i looked etc. I now realise that if people have a problem its THEIR problem and NOT mine! I enjoy my life a lot more now and I enjoy the peace of mind it gives me. I also don't worry about those 'mini disasters' that happen such as the car being dented etc - when all is said and done it really doesn't matter when you look at the big picture. I suppose as you get older you have more confidence in self-worth and what is really important in life.

Petty gossip! It used to wind me up and now it no longer bothers me!

MrsJ2000 Wed 28-Jan-15 15:52:13

ageing - we all worry about it when we are younger ....but it comes to us all so maybe we should just get on with it and enjoy life smile

lornajk Wed 28-Jan-15 15:46:41

I am no longer bothered about how I look, how many wrinkles there are - surely that's normal??? I wear mine like a badge of honour and don't give two hoots about what anyone else thinks.

runzies Wed 28-Jan-15 15:41:06

I don't stress about the way I look anymore, with age comes the realisation that no ones perfect and every one has flaws even if you cant see them x

mambojambo Wed 28-Jan-15 15:39:35

What other people think

israrbaig Wed 28-Jan-15 15:38:38

Working full time and wasting my years and not seeing anything happen in my life as I was stuck in an endless rut sad

Elleceebee Wed 28-Jan-15 15:32:40

I think that I bother more about most things now, but thats good.

hiddenmichelle Wed 28-Jan-15 15:31:14

spots! (still get them! - complete urban myth that that stop after your teens!)

sc00ter Wed 28-Jan-15 15:17:01

I no longer care what people think of me - they either like me for "who I am" or not at all.....I don't really care either way. smile

pamelaJEAN Wed 28-Jan-15 15:16:08

I feel more confident in myself now in my sixties, I have lost 2 stone , and wear what I want to wear, take care of my appearance, always trying to look my best, not worrying about what other people think. I love my home, even though it is somewhat old fashioned, it is cosy and warm. So no matter what any one says, I really dont care at my age I dont need to worry...
