Why are we so Secretive About Having Work Done?
I am naturally a private person and do not share a lot of my personal life. Frankly, it is not all that interesting. I do think it is important to be transparent on any and everything regarding aging. Let's talk about Why are we so Secretive about Having Work Done. I had a lower face and neck lift five weeks ago, by Dr. Douglas Sunde, and I am very happy with the results. Let me tell you a little bit about my history first. As a child, I was badly burned (3rd degree) over ⅓ of my body. I ...

The Best Bronzers for Mature Skin
Happy Tuesday. It has been a while since we discussed skincare or makeup. I have currently been on the hunt for a new bronzer so I thought we would talk about the best bronzers for mature skin.

I must say there were not very many articles on bronzers targeted to mature women. Is it because we women of a certain age think we can no longer ...
Gray Hair Care Products that Work for Me
Sorry for the late post. Things are happening pretty fast here. I think we are going to be homeless soon. My hair has been gray since 2011. I usually preface a post like this with the phrase "I am not an expert". This is one area where I think I may be close to it. There were very few products for gray hair back when I first went gray. There are many more now, thankfully. I have had many years of experience with gray hair and I have tried most of the products available. Many of you are new ...
Skincare After 50-Hyaluronic Acid Serums
I don't make New Year's resolutions because the word alone spells failure to me. I did make a promise to myself that I would lose some added covid pounds (thank you weight watchers so far so good), exercise more (this one needs work!), and take better care of my sun-damaged, acne-scarred skin! I had an appointment to have Fraxel resurfacing (to help with sun damage and acne divots!) but had to cancel because I was ill. My dermatoligist Dr. Crispin is wonderful but very busy so I am now ...
