The Fountain of Youth...for Your Brain

In an earlier entry I was preaching about sunscreen and it's anti-aging benefits. Suncreen may help you look young, but what keeps your mind young? As we get older, we get settled into our ways of thinking and less accepting of change. We turn into the old, stubborn people that we said we'd never become. So why is it that some older people are extra stubborn and unchanging and some aren't? The answer has been right in front of my face, yet I never gave it a thought until now. People who stay intellectually young are the ones who keep learning new things to sharpen their brains. For example, doctors; they have to keep being tested and learn about new medical technologies and medications. If they didn't keep learning, they'd be out of a job. Along with exercise and healthy eating habits, and sunscreen, read a few books every month keep your mind sharp. Not much of a reader? Puzzle games help sharpen the brain too! Sudoku, anyone?


P.S. Happy birthday to my brother, Tommy! Woohoo!

Hello (again)!

Haven't been posting in a VERY long while, so I would like to welcome myself back! Welcome back *Tammy! Also, I'd like to re-welcome everyone who reads, well, read my earlier blogs. Welcome back everyone! To new readers out there, welcome, welcome, welcome! Thanks for bein' here, people!

Now, let's get back to business! Since I've been gone, I've been going to school and very recently started getting serious about starting my own handmade organic skin care and cosmetics company! YAAAY! I make the greatest lip balm ever, people! EVER! Look out for my lip balms soon! Eventually this site will become my company website, but don't worry, this blog will still be apart of it :- )

So anyway, happy march, ya'll! You didn't think I'd be gone for so long without trying any new beauty stuff, did ya?
I'm still stickin' to my guns on the Oil Free Makeup by LORAC and Loose Powder by Paula Dorf. These two products work well with all skin types, especially sensitive or picky skin like mine.

I've discovered some really great products from luminizers to bronzers to lip glosses! Need a little glow? The Oil Free Luminzer from LORAC in Gold L2 is awesome for highlighting cheekbones and browbones. It's also great on your collarbone! The texture of this luminizer is smoooooth; it glides on like silk, blends in perfectly, and doesn't get all cakey later in the day like some cheapy luminizers.

Bronzers! I love, love, love bronzers because they look so much more natural than blushes. Blush on me tends to look too, well, blushed. A favorite of mine is HOOLA by BeneFit. It's the perfect matte bronzer, no orange, no red, or pink, just pure brown. Brown, like mud? No, not like mud, it goes on sheer and looks gorgeous on even the palest skin.

Another company that makes great bronzers is CARGO. Just like their lip glosses, they come in large tins that make using big brushes easy; no pinching your blush brush to sweep up stuff from a tiny little pan! These bronzers are sheer and shimmery, but not scary shimmery. The bronzer in Medium is the perfect gilded bronze and the BeachBlush (bronzer and blush in one!) in Miami Beach and Coral Beach look beautifull on all skin tones!

I know, I know, I said I was going to tell you about some great lip glosses, but it's almost midnight! It's definitely sleepy time. Thank goodness there's no class tomorrow so I can sleep in! YAY! I'll tell ya 'bout the glosses another day. Stay tuned! Until then, good night and good luck. ;- )
