Wrinkles, and Beauty

The stigma around wrinkles and the amount of time we concern ourselves with them as we age made me want to address some of the questions you might have buzzing around in that beautiful brain of yours. When you have time, take a look at the website links in this post.

Stay beautiful!

Even Awesome Women Suffer Hair Loss

As always, you can count on me to give you “news you can use”. In many cases, it will also “lift you, and your beauty to look UP“.

I posted about hair loss for the first time on HairBlues in March 2012!
You can imagine — that was 12 years ago — and there was “little talk
about hair loss so candidly. I am happy to report — that the hair loss discussion has made much progress since then, allowing for women to choose a look that works for them whether it be bald and beautiful, or experimentation with various looks and styles.

Kudos to Rihanna for revealing her own struggle with hair loss including her creative nature to do some one thing – or many things about it.

Stay beautiful – because hair loss can also be made beautiful!

I assure you this is a magazine you want in your reading pile. The topics provide guidelines on how to live your best healthful life.

Have you thought about Plastic Surgery? Well, if your answer is yes, you will want to read what her “Core Expert” has to say about things you should consider. It is an article you can trust because Dr. Ashton reveals that her brother is a “renowned reconstructive plastic surgeon“…
Do you want advice on how to get more sleep, or what foods you should have in your diet? Do you want to look younger at any age? What is “Exercise Snacking“? These are just some of the topics that you can look forward to reading. And there is a lot more.

In addition, I hear Dr. Jen Ashton is coming out with a 3rd issue of her Better Magazine in May 2024.
