Thursday, April 24th, 2008 I don’t know if I’m under more stress right now or if my body is just playing a really mean trick on me, but I’m breaking out like a teenager. This is crazy!
I’ve never had really good skin but since switching to mineral makeup, I’ve remained relatively clear. This past week, though, has turned […]
Rethinking The Age Thing
Saturday, April 19th, 2008 Looked in the mirror this morning and saw wrinkles. A LOT of wrinkles. They’re not just around my eyes now, they’re on my cheeks, too. And my face is sagging.
So I’m trying to remind myself of all the good things about growing older. For example, I’m not as gullible as I was 20 […]
This Is Naked, Naturally
Tuesday, March 4th, 2008 Let’s talk hair.
I was born with curls. Lots and lots of curls. Got it from my dad and passed it on to all but one of my kids. After living with curly hair for almost half a century, I know quite a bit about it. I know that curly hair is different than […]
Clear It Up
Sunday, March 2nd, 2008 I was always amazed that my sons had very little acne at teens. Both my husband and I dealt with breakouts so I always thought that all my kids would as well. The boys, so far, have been very fortunate, with only an occasional pimple here and there.
Not so for my daughter, though. She’s […]
Quick Beauty Fix
Saturday, January 12th, 2008 I’m about to let on to everyone just how old I am. Not that I’ve kept my age a secret, of course, since I’ve stated it plenty of times (Were you paying attention?) but some of you will read this and not remember what I remember and realize just how ancient I am.
When […]
Oh, No. Not Again!
Tuesday, December 18th, 2007Just when you thought that Michael Jackson had fallen off the face of the earth and disappeared for good, he resurfaces with yet more insanity. Surely, this is Jackson’s attempt at manipulating the media and generating hype. Surely, no physician on earth would take a knife to this guy’s face again. Please tell me […]
Skin Deep
Thursday, November 8th, 2007One of the worst things about being a teenager, at least for me, was having acne. All I wanted back then was to have clear skin. Of course, I knew very little about acne or what caused it so I spent most of my time trying to cover it. Until I allowed a doctor […]
My Teenaged Beauty Princess
Monday, October 15th, 2007 Back when I was 14 I was buying my makeup at Murphy’s 5&10. I thought that buying brand names like Cover Girl was a big deal. It wasn’t until I was out of school and earning my own money that I even considered buying high end makeup.
My own daughter is 14 and while […]
Self Improvement Thoughts
Wednesday, September 26th, 2007I’m on a roll here, I guess. I’m just kind of excited about finally finding an eating plan that is working for me. Each time the needle on the scale moves down a notch, my self-esteem rises and my determination gets stronger. And my mind begins turning, thinking of more ways to improve myself. […]
Laser Hair Removal As A Reward
Tuesday, September 25th, 2007I’ve been doing quite well on my diet and I’m trying to come up with an interesting reward for when I reach my first mini goal. I like non-food rewards, of course, and usually something to do with pampering or beauty. Since I was thinking about going back to Hawaii looking so much better […]
