Jennifer Garner Is Turning 50 and Is Embracing Every Wrinkle With Open Arms

Jennifer Garner will soon turn 50, and she’s loving it. The Hollywood star believes in looking normal and enjoying each day’s little blessings rather than running after unrealistic beauty standards. Her refreshing views on aging remind us what the meaning of life is really all about. And we can tell by the natural glow that illuminates her face that her philosophy on beauty really does work.

Bright Side believes that accepting all stages of life with an open heart is the secret to real beauty. We want to share Jennifer’s views with you that left us totally inspired and enamored.

A star that keeps her feet on the ground

It seems that no amount of fame or fortune can have an impact on Jennifer Garner’s humble and authentic nature. The 13 Going on 30 actress is sharing 50 things that make her happy on her Instagram. And the list is a confirmation that this relatable mama of 3 finds her happiness in the simple pleasures of life. She shares that making her kids’ favorite cinnamon rolls, a simple walk with a friend, or growing her own tea are some of the things she treasures the most.

The true meaning of life

Just like the rest of us, Jennifer’s life isn’t always a bed of roses, and being in the limelight can make tough times even worse. For instance, the complicated split from her husband of 13 years, Ben Affleck, has long made headlines, and the media still closely follows every hurdle in their relationship.

However, Jennifer seems to bravely face all the difficulties thrown her way with her positive attitude and a big smile. She revealed: “Something I tell myself: Take it easy. Every day is an opportunity to reevaluate and shift habits, to connect, to mend, to look for flow. It’ll be ok.”

Her beauty philosophy

Her genuine approach to life and lack of artifice is also reflected in her physical appearance. The actress is a big-time advocate of looking natural and ’’real’’ and stays far away from cosmetic procedures. She explained, “I want to look normal, and I want to normalize looking normal. I have always felt really strongly about that.”

And in an era where most people are obsessed by preserving their youth at any cost, the actress who’ll soon turn 50 seems to embrace this new decade with open arms. She shared her mom’s advice about not spending time staring at the mirror and focusing on what is changing, she said ’’Don’t look! Just care less, be grateful that you’re getting older.’’ She added, ’’Beauty is as beauty does. Don’t look in the mirror, look out at other people."

Her big celebration plans

She will be turning 50 on Easter Sunday, and Garner is excited about celebrating this milestone with her loved ones, even though she hasn’t made specific plans yet. The actress who was born in Texas and raised in West Virginia revealed, ’’My family has tickets to come out. My parents and my sisters, nieces, and nephews. I don’t know what we’ll do, but I can’t wait.’’

What she tells herself everyday

It’s clear that spreading love and positivity is what truly matters to Jennifer, and it’s a rule she sticks by in her everyday life. Growing older can be intimidating to many among us, and what she has to say about it is pure gold: ’’Use the time you have to be leaving the world a little bit better instead of staring at yourself in the mirror and worrying."

What are your thoughts on aging? Do you agree that we shouldn’t be obsessed with our looks and allow nature to gracefully run its course?
