Tanning Beds: Aging and Addictive

Tanning beds. If you read the previous post on Tanning Beds you already know how I feel about them. I don’t like them. I mean.. I. REALLY. DON’T. LIKE. THEM. For me, or for you. They age your skin, rob you of your skin’s natural beauty.  And more importantly, they put you at risk for serious health issues. Like, um, cancer.

Now I realize that I left some important information out of that last post. It is called ADDICTION.  Yeah, if you are using a tanning bed you may have a monkey on your back.

Heard of endorphins? Runners high? Endorphins are a naturally occurring chemical in the body.  When endorphins are released into your system you feel good. Endorphins are a natural pain reliever, so if you are wondering why someone running for miles could possibly feel good, that’s why. Now how about tanning bed high? Read the rest of this entry »

Beauty and the Blog Needs to Know!

me & butchIs this the goofiest photo of a Shih Tzu you ever saw? Or of me? Actually, goofier of me do exist, I am not a fan of having my photo taken! I usually avoid it if I can. I posted this just to make you laugh! Butch doesn’t usually look like this, I think the static in the air got to him. Usually his hair lays quite nicely. Shih Tzu’s have hair, like we do. Not fur, so they don’t shed, very cool! So they too can have a bad hair day!

Anyway, those of you who have been visiting my blog know that I am new at blogging. I am wondering something. Are you getting the information you want here? Are my posts and links on skin care, anti-aging and wrinkle reduction helping you to understand your skin? Are you learning about the  changes that take place in the skin as you age? Is there something in particular that I have not yet gotten to that you wish I would hurry up and address? What would YOU like to know or learn? My inquiring mind wants you to tell me! What anti-aging question do you have? I’d love it if you made a comment about your needs, or sent me an email via “Contact”. Interact with me and let’s have some fun!
