Getting ready for Fitness America!!!

If you're getting ready for the Fitness America Pageant like I am, then you're probably super busy taking care of last minute details. Well, in the midst of all the craziness, the last thing we want to think about is dry skin. However, this is the most important time to start thinking about it. Pretty soon we will be tanning and applying tanning products and we want to have the best base possible.

We are 4 weeks out, so exfoliation is crucial at this point. Exfoliate 2-3 times a week after skin is cleansed with a salt based exfoliator, not sugar. Sugar tends to have pore clogging oils, so stick with a salt base. A good exfoliator is the Clinique 7 day scrub, any of the Oil of Olay or Aveeno scrubs, they're gentle and not abrasive. Follow up with a good moisturizer. Your skin should feel heavenly in no time, and ready for the Big Show!

Product of the Month!

Oil if Olay Active Hydration Body Lotion with green tea and vitamin complex is my beauty product of the month. Prior to finding this little piece of heaven, I had been using an expensive $40 body lotion only available from tanning salons. I don't remember the name of it, but I loved it and it kept my skin soft and smooth all day long. Well I haven't really felt the need lately to fork over $40 for lotion, which led me on a mission to find a cheaper replacement. Olay's Active Hydration called me from the shelf. I tested it, loved it and realized I had finally found a lotion similar to what I had grown to love without the hefty price tag... Try it for yourself, and if you're not completely satisfied, well then return it for a full refund. ***Oh, I have to mention that it leaves a light glittery sheen on your skin. (picture different from product mentioned).

Shopaholic found dead underneath piles of clothes!

A 77 year old woman was found dead in her home, in England, in an unusual circumstance. When friends hadn't heard from their friend in awhile, they went to her house to make contact. To their surprise the door was open and inside a grisly discovery. Joanne Cunnane was found dead of natural causes under piles of clothes and purchases from years of shopping. Investigators discovered that Joanne was an elderly shopaholic with nothing to do during the day, but shop. The neighborhood kids bothered her, and shopping made her feel good. So she would leave in the morning and return at night as if she were working a full time job. In fact, she had spent those hours shopping, everyday! Investigators said her house was completely packed from floor to ceiling with clothes and purchases.
Wow, I thought I was bad!!!

A word to all women...please do something more valuable with your time! This is tragic, and shopping fills an emotional void for the moment, but does not provide lasting fulfillment like most people believe. The long lasting fulfillment comes from within! So work on yourself and not your credit card.
