What I Use: Face Skin Care & Make-up

By

I’ve often been told I look younger than my 63 years. I give a lot of credit to genetics, but I also have spent time trying to find the right products for my skin. There are two important things I suggest to help keep your skin in the best shape possible. The first is to stay out of the sun as much as possible. Absolutely use sunscreen anytime you do. The other is that you don’t have to get stuck on one brand. It’s the products that matter. I use an assortment of brands. I have a few splurges in my routine I think are worth a little extra money, but the majority are inexpensive. Here are the things I use for skin care on my face and makeup. While I try to follow this regimen most days,  I’m not that rigid. I do earn a small commission if you click on the links to purchase these products. Prices are set by stores and subject to change.   CorneaCare Wipes I have dry eye disease and these are a great way to start my day. I wipe my eyes and then use it to freshen up my fac...

  If you’ve seen my list of face and makeup picks , I’m sure you knew there was a selection of body and hair ones to come! I am forever trying new products. It’s not just that I am looking for something new. The truth is, as you age, what you need can differ from before. I learned this is even true for your hair. Just five years ago, I didn’t need any product in my hair except in-shower conditioning. As in my previous post, there’s a mix of inexpensive and splurges in here.   I do earn a small commission if you click on the links to purchase these products. Prices are set by stores and subject to change.     NatureWell Firming Cheeky Cream There is a brand you are seeing everywhere that has its own cream for “bum” cream, stomach cream, arm cream, and more. It’s too pricey for me, and I don’t have time for a different cream for every body part! I saw a few reviews for this one by NatureWell. It definitely makes my skin smoother and it’s a lot cheaper—especia...

Royal Princess Inside Passage Alaska: Preparation and Embarkation

Off we go! This trip was on my bucket list as Alaska was my 50 th state. I probably spent more time in the planning than I had with any cruise ever. I wanted everything to work out as well as possible and I didn’t leave anything to chance.   When you are traveling with an assisted device, no matter what your disability is, it requires additional planning. In my case I have multiple chronic illnesses. I am able to walk some, but definitely not any distance. I am currently using a motorized scooter and have ordered a custom power wheelchair. The first step in the process is to make sure that the ship you are going on is accessible. I know this seems like a given in the year 2023, but it’s not. There are boats that do not have elevators or have room entrances a wheelchair will not fit in. Next, you want to make sure you can get around where you are going. It’s alright to find you have to spend time on board and miss one or two excursions, but you don’t want to miss everything. ...
