My friend Ava has shared her secret!! She has been doing the following for 25 years and man oh man does her skin look great!!
1. Begin with a freshly washed face and neck.
2. Combine 2 tablespoons of Sesame Seed or Olive Oil with 1 heaping teaspoon of Sea Salt. Note: if you have cuts or broken skin, substitute 1 to 2 teaspoons coarse cut oatmeal for salt. Using the corner of a clean wet washcloth, gently rub Oil Mixture over entire face and neck, using small gentle circles. Avoid eyes, eyelids, and delicate under-eye areas.
3. Wash face and neck thoroughly, removing all of the Oil mixture. Dampen a cotton ball with Penta Water and rinse face and neck. Towel-dry or allow skin to dry naturally.
4. Fill a large pot with water. Bring to a boil and add 2-3 tablespoons of the natural herbal laxative Swiss Kriss for an incredibly cleansing facial steam. Do not use the tablets, they will not break down down well enough. (Swiss Kriss can be found in most drugstores and is inexpensive. Save even more by ordering it online.) Let herbs simmer for several minutes. Remove pot from heat and place on a stable surface. Place towel over head to keep steam from escaping. Take the facial steam for 5 to 15 minutes, depending on tolerance. Use caution as steamm can burn skin.
5. Use another clean cotton ball with Penta Water to rinse face and neck.
6. Break open a capsule of Vitamin A. Spread over face and neck, including the under eye area. Leave on overnight. (Cover pillows with towels to avoid staining.) Note: Alternating PURE aloe veral gel with Vitam A oil also works well.
7. In the morning, wash your face and resume your usual skin care routine.
Use this routine as described aove once a week at night before bed. After four consecutive weeks, look for resultts. After that, once a month for maintenance. For additional over-all skin care: Replace processed foods with natural ones. Always drink plenty of water. Use sunscreen. Exercise regularly.

Live in Harmony
Live in harmony with the earth and your authentic self. That has been my motto for many years. I've recently made a big step towards improving that goal. Feng Shui has helped me identify and project my energy.

Drug Store Prices on Great Products!
I found a great new source of information on beauty products. "Don't Go to the Cosmetics Counter Without Me" by Paula Begoun (subscription web site is beautypedia). She lists the best value products that can be bought at the drug store. For example, one of the best inexpensive foundations with sunscreen for normal to dry skin is Revlon Colorstay makeup with SoftFlex for Normal to Dry skin SPF 15, approximately $13. One of the best inexpensive concealers is Revlon Age Defying Concealer SPF 20, about $9. And best inexpenisve blush: Maybelline New York Dream Mousse Blush, about $7.50. She also recommends Maybelline's new Colossal mascara and Olay Regenerist. The expensive thing she can't live without? Allergan's Latisse eyelash grower that just came out. You can buy all of these products with no shipping and possible discounts at:

Bamboo Tees = Minimal Tummy Spillover
Got your attention right? There's nothing we hate more than the tummy spill, especially over the jeans. It's that spare tire that's caught on the waist band. What's a girl to do ? Wear bamboo! It drapes and doesn't cling. If you want to be doubly sure, don't wear jeans or other pants with too tight waists. The tight waist pushes your love handles and tummy up and out. Cotton tees that bind, well aren't bamboo tees that float better?
And how about when you are exercising -- yoga,pilates, zumba? The bamboo tee doesn't stick to you or to the tummy roll! See and comment on these fabulous tops at: http://www.amazingteesandmore.com/shop/index.php?main_page=index&cPath=21

Searching for the Fountain of Youth
How many of you over the age of 30 don’t want to look as young as possible? I’m gonna guess zero! Wearing my comfortable soft natural bamboo tees from http://www.amazingteesandmore.com/, I want my skin to look as good as possible. So I have been trying just about every serum that is out there. And I’m finding some good ones that really do seem to be making a difference! The absolute best and mos important is Prevage sold by Elizabeth Arden. While it is a bit expensive, it is the most effective serum sold with or without a prescription. I also think all of the Kinerase products are worth their weight in gold, especially the face lift and the eye lift. Go to the following link to find out more and order these products.

Savings in Beauty Products
Beauty.com
Okay I am always on the alert for ways to save on overpriced (in my opinion) beauty products. I have found some incredible products that I think really do counter the affects of aging, but they are so expensive! Tops on my list is Prevage, sold by Elizabeth Arden. The key ingredient in Prevage™ is Idebenone, one of the most potent and effective antioxidants on the market today. This orange powder, originally used in the medical field, has been shown to have enormous potential in skincare. Anyway, I can say for sure that using Prevage has helped my skin. For example, I had two very deep and visible lines on my decolletage and these are much less pronounced now. If you go to the link above, you can save money on Prevage because you get Prevage samples with your purchase, in effect getting more quantiy for your money. You also save on tax and shipping. Next post will have my list of age defying products. Please share yours with us!!

Bamboo clothing is perfect for praticing yoga. breathability and thermal regulating properties of bamboo provide the highest form of comfort during yoga moves. And what is yoga? Yoga is a healing system of theory and practice. It is a combination of breathing exercises, physical postures, and meditation that has been practiced for more than 5,000 years. While yoga evolved as a Hindu spiritual practice, in the Western world, yoga has grown popular as form of purely physical exercise. Some Western forms have little or nothing to do with spirituality, but are simply a way of keeping fit and healthy.
Tee's Your Way to Bamboo Comfort
My idea of comfort? A soft bamboo tee that fits just right with no pulling or restriction of movement. In addition, the style needs to be specifically designed for a woman, not too tight across the breasts, and with plenty of room in the hips. Beautiful colors that improve my mood are also wonderful. Pair one of these with great fitting jeans and I'm in heaven! See tops at www.AmazingTeesandMore.com. I recommend "Not Your Daughter's Jeans" for those of us over 40. They are very slimming because of the tummy tuck feature, the darker denim color and the straight legs. What jeans do you find most flattering?
