I’ll tell you my darkest secret. I hate the skin under my eyes. Not your garden variety ‘oh I hate this or that’, but a deep seated loathing of that square inch or so below my lashes. At some point I noticed that stubborn piece of real estate began to resemble crepe paper when I […]

Is 40 the new 20? Thank goodness for being alive in this day and age. Microwaves. Cell phones. Filler and Botox, oh my! How lucky we are to be able to turn back the clock and extend our youth far past the generation before us. I remember my mother showing me a picture of her […]
