Beauty 911

I always knew that I would never be a "woman of few words!" Blogging was designed for me! I have been sending out, via e-mail, information on fashion and beauty products. I have gotten such favorable reviews that I decided to blog.

This is part of the e-mail letter I sent to friends and family yesterday.

My sister and I were talking the other day about our faces and complexions. She and I have the same skin color, same color eyes, and hair....Well, that is another story. While we are aging at the same lightning speed, she got beautiful, platinum hair and I got (let's just say something different.)

We had, growing up, Dad's acne, oily skin. Mom looked like a porcelain doll and we had minefields of volatile zits! And a mere 45 years later, we get compliments on our complexions! Go figure......

We had to learn how to care for our raging skin. That is for another day.

Today, brings me to the subject of lines and wrinkles. Not that any of us is there yet, but when they come we need to face them head on....Just like any other fear. This is really staring fear in the face!

I love all the lines on my face! I am not kidding. Each of them I have earned in some way. Every one of them has a story. I earned some of the water skiing, sunbathing, snow skiing, (if you can call what I do, skiing), laughing until I hurt, squinting because I only buy sunglasses, but don't wear them, running outside in the frigid, Nebraska climate, crying over hurts and disappointments, and the list goes on and on......I hope to earn more and more of them as life continues.

What is your beautiful face telling you? What wonderful experiences have you had that might have given you a line or two on your face? Only you have had your experiences. They are unique to you!

I live in Utah and it has been declared the most "vain" state. We have more plastic surgeons here than any other state. It has the most amount of depressed people here as well. Maybe we need an attitude adjustment. It is always about attitude, isn't it?

Did you know that a smile is the greatest face lift? Its affect is passed on and on from person to person. Take another look at your beautiful face and be thankful for every line and experience you have been blessed to have! Be the best you, you can be and don't try to compare yourself with anyone else. There will always be someone smarter, taller, thinner, more talented, etc...There is no one like me and there is no one like you. Enjoy the journey!

I will be passing on all the info on beauty products and fashions that I have in my curious mind. I will share what works and what doesn't. Have fun with it! We are not going down with the ship anytime soon, but we might cruise on them, and we are certainly works in progress!

Stay tuned.............
