A few weeks ago I met with a perspective client over forty that was getting married for the first time. Everyone talks about their big day and how excited they are but for a first time bride that is closer to the big five-O than thirty it was truly going to be a big [...]

Yesterday I ran into an old (actually young) friend who had just recently started acting and it seems that this non- makeup wearing ingénue was having a difficult time adjusting to her new daily (well at least when she is being paid) primping routine and even worse she was feeling the skin care woes of [...]

Last week the gal pals and I got together for a little “us” time and as is often the case the conversation works it’s way around to “What do I do about my skin?” “What do I do about my foundation?” You see I find that for most women they get into a [...]
