So I watched that new Fox reality show “Anchorwoman” last night. I didn’t think it was the worst thing in the world, and I was mildly entertained. But I kept getting confused because the star of the show, Lauren Jones, looked like she was in her late 30s, and if the whole premise of the [...]

If you grew up in the 80s, you may remember Zinka, the colored zinc oxide sunblock that lifeguards wore on their nose, and trendy teenagers wore on their faces. I loved Zinka cause it smelled like coconuts and I had this hot pink lip balm I used to wear to the beach. I can’t say I was bold [...]

Maybe this is a bit off-topic, but I thought it was a cute fluff (ha) piece. Recently I mentioned how you can determine your Real Age, which is how old you look/feel/are depending on how well you take care of yourself. I’m 3 years younger than my calendar age, due to some “healthy” habits. After [...]

Currently I’m a big proponent of Botox and have Botox injections, but it’s a serious beauty treatment, and there are several things you should know before you get it. More than 30 years ago, Botox was originally used to treat crossed eyes and twitching eyes, and it’s even been used in children with Cerebral Palsy. [...]

Since I don’t want to pre-maturely age my skin or get skin cancer, I’m obsessed with sunscreen! I use the term sunscreen and sunblock interchangeably, since the distinction between the two words seems to be gone. I have tried countless sunscreens, and have found that most of them work well as far as keeping me [...]

With the bombardment of the media, tv, magazines, and doctors warning you about the dangers of tanning, I can’t imagine anyone doesn’t know that tanning is bad for you. And I don’t think anyone is silly enough to believe that tanning beds are “safe.” As a teenager, I knew tanning wasn’t good, but I figured [...]

I was watching an Oprah repeat today and Dr. Oz was on. This reminded me of the Real Age website, and I thought I’d take the free test again, since I haven’t done it in a while. My calendar age is 32, and I think the last time I took the quiz it said I was 26. [...]
