Eat your skincare? No I don't mean to ingest those lovely bottles of concoctions formulated for topical use like a lemon drop shooter. Definitely DO NOT eat those. I repeat. I am not advocating to eat your topical skincare. For a whole host of reasons that's a bad idea, namely they could be toxic. That [...]
For the last 10ish years I've embraced the "no makeup, no makeup" look and rarely wear makeup of any kind unless I need to look un-dead at work or I have a night out that I want to look snazzy for. Foundation, in particular, is one I try to go without because I seem to [...]
You might not know every detail about collagen (and if you're interested in learning more, including my experience on drinking collagen click on the links included) but you know that more of it is a good thing for skin, and both having and making less is part of the natural aging process.

Times are surely interesting during the COVID-19 pandemic. First off, I'd like to thank ALL essential workers and first responders. My sincerest thank you to the janitor to the warehouse fulfillment people to grocery store workers to the trash person to the doctors and nurses. You all are my hero and make me SO PROUD [...]
