I am a woman of a certain age, and I'm not vain, but I'm a realist. We live in a youth-oriented culture, and we compete every day for jobs and social lives with youth. In the past, the only "tweaks" that could be made to an aging face were surgical. To me, that's too much risk. But everything else that has been developed over the last twenty years is on the table! I've slowly expored everything I think is safe for myself. Come join me as I share my adventures to defy gravity. I'll also let you know about things I choose not to use, but you might feel differently about.
I have two daughters who, stunned that I have become a beauty blogger, eagerly ask me for advice on products I've tried that work. I blog regularly because I love to talk to people, and a blog is a conversation.
