There have been some pretty cool conversations going on in Twitter about Botox. And I cannot believe the number of people – gorgeous people – who are much younger than me, that get Botox. So I wonder, is everyone really doing Botox?
The talk of Botox came up in Twitter as a beautiful beauty blogger Lianne was about to get her first dose. That very same day, a random woman invited me to her Botox party. So, Lianne is the same age as me, and I obviously look like I could use some, as a near stranger thought I should have …read more

Spider Veins are not pretty. We cover them with makeup and we cover them with clothing, when possible. There is a newer product out there where we can stop covering them start to fade them once and for all.
Auriderm Clearing Gel is made with Vitamin K Oxide that helps to aid in the reabsorption of hemosiderin (the pigment that gathers around these blood vessels that make the spider veins appear) while also helping to repair and rebuild the vascular walls so the pigment cannot attach to them.

Available only through your physician’s offices, this gel’s exciting new technology will help improve …read more

Have you heard of the thread lift?
A friend of mine, in her fifties, had a thread lift last year. I saw her about a week after the procedure, and I noticed some swelling to her cheeks. I honestly thought that maybe she had just had her wisdom teeth pulled, and thought not much more of it. Then a month or so later when we got together, she had two dimples on each of her upper cheeks, on each side, so four in total. I then had to ask her what she did. She explained that she had a countour thread …read more
