I’m not a window shopping person because I don’t like to look around what I know I can’t buy. But sometimes when there is nothing interesting to do or the weather doesn’t allow us to be outside we go to the mall and we look around the shops.

A couple weeks ago I was shocked with some “natural skin” coats prices. I don’t know how people give so much money for a coat. Brand stores are really not acessible for me but they really have beautiful stuff that catch my eyes. Look at these Christian Louboutin shoes and boots:

Aren’t they gorgeous? Yes they are but not for my pocket. Hoover over the pictures for price.

Young girls struggle everyday with their body. Am I fat? Am I too thin? Do I have pimples? Why do I have to use stretch marks cream? Why my body has a different shape from my best friend?

These questions are real and they can be traumatic for young girls who don’t understand why they are different or why they are not similar to a friend.

The book Body Drama: Real Girls, Real Bodies, Real Issues, Real Answers by Nancy Amanda Redd is absolutely amazing. Quoting one of the reviewers from Amazon Dr. Paul:

It’s unique as advice for teenage girls about their bodies: sharp, brainy, witty beyond merely funny, yet compassionate and never derogatory. You know what this book exudes? Sass with class.

The author speaks from experience, kicking in things about herself as a minor Body Drama Queen. But the book isn’t about her; it’s about how to fix the root of a major American psycho-social problem: the perception of female bodies. The solution: start with girls themselves. Duh! If girls can treat themselves to fact instead of fiction, their body confidence will surely rise, along with everyone’s well-being.

Product Description from Amazon:

“You’d think a Miss America swimsuit winner would feel completely confident about her body, right? Not always! So I decided to write the book I wish I’d had as a teen and in college— an honest, funny, practical, medically accurate, totally reassuring guide to how women’s bodies actually look, smell, feel, behave, and change. Alongside real-deal photographs of women just like you and me (no airbrushing, no supermodels, no kidding) you’ll find medical pictures of things you need to be able to recognize, true confessions by yours truly, and the encouragement you need to appreciate the uniqueness, strength, and beauty of your body. What are you waiting for?”

No one is free from the signs of aging. Although our mind continues to be young our skin gets old. I must confess that I neglect my face skin and people keep telling me that I should start taking care of it.

I’m 40 so I’m not a young woman anymore. My skin is not that old yet but it’s very dry and the first wrinkles are showing up. Some are expression wrinkles other are…wrinkles.

The market is full of facial anti-aging products so the choice is difficult. A pharmaceutics or a dermatologist should be the right people to help us out on our choice.

The first signs of facial aging are:

  • Forehead skin loose and with horizontal lines
  • Eyebrows lower down
  • Eyelids become bulgy
  • Neck area starts to sag
  • Cheeks muscles lose firmness

Besides anti aging products usually can fade away some of the aging signs, or mask the aging signs, even if you choose the best under eye cream or the best anti wrinkles cream the aging ski n is there.

Of course there will be some improvements if your skin is well hidratated but you also have to complement that with facial exercises. They will make the facial muscle stronger and your skin will be more firm, giving it a rejuvenated look.

Here is an explanation why facial exercises are so important and useful:
