Summer of Fun?

Hello blogiverse.  I've missed you!  The IT department has blocked you from my desk, so we must meet in secret rendezvous (at least until I put in the request for that to be reopened). 

I have an exciting update, but I'll save that for later.

The boring updates are that my skin is doing just fine.  Loving my Tensage glow which seems to be lasting a little longer now that I've done 2 monthly treatments back to back.  I still forget to use my Retriderm every night (but not tonight!) so I can't say for sure what if any benefit my skin gets from that, but I love the way it smells (see Retriderm Tangent below*).  And I'm still addicted to The Eyes Have It ! Seriously.  I keep a bottle at my desk now so if I start looking tired I just dab a little more on.  I'm still using the Up the Anti sunscreen and I think that I have mastered the application because I have not seen any more tan lines since that previous post.  And of course I top everything off with my OC Eight!

At the moment I am covered head to toe in Biopelle.  My Retriderm on my face, Body of Knowledge (contouring and slimming cream) from neck to ankles and AFA Advanced Treatment Body Lotion on my feet.  Why the new body regimen?  Well, my daughter's first birthday party is next weekend and we're doing the big to-do and even though I know it's all about her, there will be a lot of me in pictures and I'm working to look my best.  And yes I know that Body of Knowledge isn't going to work any miracles in a week, but someone once told me that using a slimming cream often makes people subconsciously start taking better care of themselves.  What the heck, it's worth a shot.

Oh and the AFA Body Lotion is for my sad, dry, calloused feet.  I'm such a hillbilly sometimes, I really should stop walking around barefoot outside.  But thankfully the exfoliation with the AFA line makes my feet look presentable again.  (I feel compelled to mention that I don't let ANYONE touch my feet so I self pedicure, in case you were wondering why I don't just go and let a pro take care of them)

*Retriderm Tangent
Have you ever watched Man vs. Wild with Bear Grylls?  He always talks about needing vitamins but he pronounces it with his British accent with a short "i" and I'm not sure how to type that phonetically.  But whenever I apply my Retriderm I think that it has a vitamin smell to it, but the British sounding kind of vitamins because it's fancier.

Anyway...my big news!

I took Heliocare for the first time!

Heliocare is our oral antioxidant that provides additional sun protection.  I was a little nervous about ingesting something, but there are a ton of studies on it's safety, so I went for it.  I didn't think I would really have anyway of knowing if it worked or not, but I do!

We went to an outdoor birthday party and I slathered on the sunscreen and took my Heliocare.  The day was hot and sunny and I ended up pulling my hair up (it was down when we left the house) and I never thought to apply sunscreen on the back of my neck.  When we got home it was red, but within a few hours all was back to normal!  I can only think to thank the Heliocare for that. As I've mentioned before I have very fair skin, so normally I burn pretty badly.

In marketing news, my boss has decided to shake things up a bit, so I'll be taking on some new brands.  I must admit that I've been biased in using my brands before the others, so now I need to reacquaint myself with these other Biopelle products, Ascorderm and Auriderm.  I do have some spider veins so maybe I'll be adding some Clearing Gel to my regimen soon...
