Fountain of Youth = Sunscreen & a good Hand Lotion


Well, I am feeling about 60+ lately instead of my actual early 30's.
I feel stress.
More importantly, my skin feels the stress.

I am seeing it in the lines around my eyes, my forehead, and most of all -- my hands & feet!

I remember my grandma's (plural) both having veiny hands & wrinkled skin... it kind of frightened me in a weird way.
I don't want to be old, let alone look old.


I have been an advocate of skin care
& more importantly sunscreen use for a very long time.
My life time actually.

Especially for my children.
I apply it to my face daily both 'plain faced' & under my make-up.

I carry a stick of 'VICHY Ultra Protection Sunblock Stick For Sensitive Areas spf60' in my purse.


I 'push' it on everyone who will listen to me!
My lil' sister just went out & purchased one after one of my many sunscreen 'lectures'!
Use it & ♥♥♥ it! Your skin will thank you!

Over the past year,
I have discovered a fabulous line called 'soap & glory'.

I have tried many of their products from plumping lip glosses 'sexy mother pucker' (a wonderful name - they don't actually plump, but, give the sensation & feel tingly on your mouth)
their shower gel - 'clean on me', & my new fave hand cream - 'great shakes' which is now a staple in my purse. The line has a great vintage 50's flare (which I adore) & is quite reasonably priced.
I purchased this line here in Canada at Shoppers Drug Mart.
It is also available on-line.

My hands are looking better every day!

This just may be the fountain of youth for my hands... wait & see.
