Indeed, I’m not one to say “no” to free make up samples, but I’ll be honest with you, getting some free anti-aging serums or creams really makes me giddy like a school girl.
It’s much less expensive for skincare and cosmetic companies to give out free make up (free lipsticks, free mascara, free eyeshadows) than it is to give out free anti-aging products, so you know when a company is willing to go that far … it’s certainly worth taking them up on their offer and trying the product out for yourself to see if it helps you deal with your anti-aging concerns.

Your British anti-ageing (aging) pillowcase
Many years ago, I had read that our pillows may cause more wrinkles. The theory made total sense for those who sleep on their sides or their stomach (yes, I’m guilty on both accounts).

Since then, I’ve read a number of reports from cosmetic doctors on the subject of sleep and wrinkles, and there really is no consensus at all. Some cosmetic doctors are for an anti-aging pillow and other cosmetic doctors claim it’s a fallacy.

My conversation with two Dove models part 2
In my opinion, our hair is the longest relationship we’ll ever have. For some of us it’s pure bliss and for some of us … it’s a constant challenge. One thing is for sure, as we age, we’ll be facing some new and interesting challenges with our hair.
In this second part of my interview with Dove’s Shine Models, we discuss the ups and downs of hair as we age.
Shannon and Laura talk about how it feels to be selected to become a Dove model, the importance they place on their hair as they age, hair colour as an option to greys, will they keep their hair long as they age or will they cut it short, and if they think they look better and feel sexier now than they did five years ago.

Ojon Tawaka Rejuvenating Conditioner and Cleansers: antioxidants for aging skin and hair.
If I could move into the Ojon manufacturing plan and set shop there, I would.
I really love their products and the best part is that their products give a LOT of love to my hair. In other words, when I use Ojon products, I really see and feel the difference on my hair.
I’ve lately discovered another one of my favourite Ojon hair care duos. After trying the Tawaka Rejuvenating Conditioner and Cleanser duo for the first time during one of my weekly treatments, I could barely believe how incredibly soft my hair was.

Katie Holmes makeup artist likes Olay Regenerist Filling+ Sealing Wrinkle Treatment
Restylane® or Juvederm® fillers are the most popular line and wrinkle fillers in North America.

How do Italian women deal with cellulite?
The first thing I want to make clear is that cellulite is NOT fat and that it affects women as young as in their early 20s. Cellulite is blind to the number on the scale and it affects many women who “look” slender.
I recently interviewed Dr. Stephen Mulholland and he revealed so many women have a lot of misconceptions about cellulite. You can read his point of view on cellulite on the article I featured on my Beauty Redefined site.
