Hydration for Skin...Makes Sense to Me!

Do you want to look like a beauty queen?? Well, maybe not.  But, I do know that the reason many of you come here day after day is that we want to look and feel our best!
Since beginning to blog, I have been privileged to interview several skincare specialists and one of the connecting threads between all is the importance of drinking water.  Drinking water brings no fountain of youth promises...remember nothing stops aging, it is going to happen like it or not.

However, flushing toxins from our bodies and remaining hydrated will give us a healthy, youthful glow.  There are controversies on the web about everything and this topic is one.  Some do not believe drinking water will help your skincare at all.  It just makes sense to me that it would.

I bring you a variety of products for your consideration.  We all have different skin types and different heredity, so you just have to see what works best.  There are excellent skincare products available...and here is one more....HTY GOLD!

They sent me their INTENSIVE BODY PACKAGE which includes body serum and a rich, silky body cream.  Yes, at night you feel all greased up...but when you awake in the morning, your skin does feel incredible...completely hydrated.  It is truly a treat for your body and a way for that "after the spa" feeling day after day.  You would pay this for one spa visit...this will give you the touch of many spa visits.  I do recommend it and I am thoroughly enjoying mine!

Now, I have to go put on my tiara and watch my high school seniors graduate and head off into the world!!  

Have a wonderful Saturday everyone...drink lots of water!!!

Statement Necklaces...Do You or Don't You?

We see just about everywhere.....statement necklaces are in style!!  But, what does that mean to you?

Does it just mean BIG?  or does it mean BLING?  Does it mean EXPENSIVE? or can a small necklace make a statement...if so, how?

Please tell me what a statement necklace is to you, and then share with us how you wear them...with a tee...with a tank...with a collar...dresses...jeans...how do you like to wear a statement necklace??  If you don't wear them, may we ask WHY?

Thank you for sharing.....

Now, have a fantastic Friday, everyone!!!!

Treat Yourself....I Did With A Little Leopard!!

Wow, there have been a couple of heavy emotional posts for me over the last week! So, I am ready to have some fun! What better way to celebrate fun than with LEOPARD.

I write this advice often: Give yourself permission to receive a treat occasionally for something special…and I am not talking about chocolate. I work pretty hard…from rise at 4:30AM to bedtime around 9:30! And…it really helps me to keep on keeping on if I give myself an occasional treat. Back when my children were at home, I would spend every financial gift on them or on household needs. But now, I think an occasional Perk for Pam is perfectly fine.

When I was gifted with money recently, I decided to locate a pair of shoes tormenting my sleep for a long time….the really good news is that THE SHOES were ON SALE! I was impressed with young accessories designer, Elaine Turner, the minute I met her at the OPENING OF A HER NEW BOUTIQUE in Alamo Heights last fall.  Her shoes and purses are gorgeous! So, when I could purchase these $250 flats last week for $100….I went for it. I have to say I am in love!! When tempted to think about all of the other things I could do with that $100, I just put it out of my mind.

It does pay to sign up for emails from the retailers you love. Occasionally, you receive a sale notice not given to the general public. I see this happen with more than one. It can pay off big time. The offer I used from ELAINE TURNER also included free shipping on that day.

In honor of LEOPARD LOVE, I am also modeling my recent AMAZON purchase of this lightweight leopard infinity SCARF. I won a $25 gift card and instead of using it on my standard Amazon purchases of books and CDs, I made myself go out of my box. For the $25, I bought two beautiful scarves.  I love this leopard up against my pink TUNIC from Soft Surroundings!

Have you bought yourself a special treat lately…tell us what it is!! And if not, maybe it is time you do!!

Have a wonderful Thursday everyone...and make sure you stop by KATIE'S FAVORITE THINGS BLOG HOP!!
