Not one has lived up to its promise. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The list of products I get bombarded with everyday on Facebook, Google, eBay is mind boggling. <br>Anti-aging and wrinkle creams&#8230;nope.<br>Does any of this stuff have to prove it works before it can be put on sale? Is there no legal requirement for it to actually work? <br>Well so far nothing has&#8230;and if i think of anything that even made a difference, I will let you know.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The hardest part of transition for me&#8230;is the waiting. I doubt I am alone in that. Anything that promises to speed up the process or remove the years is a tempting purchase. But the bottom line is waiting and growing naturally is the only way. 1-2yrs to really get things working is the realistic timespan.<br>It wouldn&#8217;t be so bad if it was just a waste of money&#8230;but it can also cause health problems. My body is undergoing great change and that&#8217;s a pretty big ask in itself, without pushing other chemicals into the mix.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Be kind to your body<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><br><br><br><br><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It&#8217;s fair to say, because I&#8217;ve wasted so much money already, that the vast majority&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":1476,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1239","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-contributing-authors"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/tydice.com\/pink\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1239","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/tydice.com\/pink\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/tydice.com\/pink\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tydice.com\/pink\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tydice.com\/pink\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1239"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/tydice.com\/pink\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1239\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tydice.com\/pink\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1476"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/tydice.com\/pink\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1239"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tydice.com\/pink\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1239"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tydice.com\/pink\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1239"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
