With age comes wisdom, and a few regrets I’ve come to find out. Barely a day goes by after catching a glimpse of my crow’s feet in a reflection, that I don’t hear my mother say, “You’re going to regret that tan someday!”. Ugh, why are mothers always right? There’s no doubt that my sun-worshipping ways have led to some deeper than normal lines on my face. Add in lack of exercise and a workaholic tendency and I definitely have regrets. On the flip side, some things, when it comes to …
