Welcome to Seth Gartin who will be taking over the blog effective May 9, 2008.

I have enjoyed getting this started in February and am glad of all your work in making it a success. I plan on checking back here to see how you are all doing and what new skills you are displaying in the photo gallery.

Don't forget to borrow the camera from the front office.

Wishing you all the best, Seth.

What Price Beauty?

MSNBC.com has a current article titled "Pursuit of Youth Isn't Always Pretty" that addresses the wierdness created when people choose Botox or other treatment to the extent they no longer have wrinkles....or facial expressions. We all know celebrities who have been nipped and tucked to the point they are no longer recognizable. And now doctors are saying 20 and 30 year olds are coming in for treatments to prevent wrinkles.

Call me old-fashioned but I think individuals earn the faces they have at 50 and older. Those laugh lines are a sign they have a sense of humor....those frown lines show their ability to concentrate. In other words, they show a life much-lived.

Embrace your best life and go out there and earn some laugh lines of your own this weekend!

Are You As Smart As a Fifth-Grader re: Cosmetics?

I just finished reading this article from the New York Times regarding teaching kids about what goes into make-up and how it is made. As an herbalist I really enjoy teaching kids about making their own lip balm, salve, soap and other concoctions. This article gets their inquisitive mood just right.

Borrowing Fashion

Ever want to try something special without investing in the whole she-bang? Bag Borrow or Steal is the place to explore handbags and jewelry for rent. I imagine it would be the perfect solution to dressing up that wedding gown or other special occassion.

Forever 21 Clothing Scandal

Well, it turns out not to be exactly what you might think. A religious Korean couple in their early 50's who founded a billion dollar chain....and now face multiple lawsuits for copywrite theft, etc.

Saving Money

With all the talk about recession and higher costs for food and fuel, you might want to start saving some money to pay the higher prices for housing and groceries. There are plenty of funny commercials out there for Feed the Pig but you might want to check out a few more resources.

One I like is linked to Feed the Pig: 360 Financial Literacy is where you canfind budget information and a lot more.

How are you saving money?
