For centuries and centuries, women have been trying desperately to defy the hands of time and stop the effects of aging. Sure, not all of us can age gracefully, try as we might, and time isn’t kind to all of us, no matter how many face yoga exercises you practice. But that doesn’t mean we have to suck it up and accept our skin’s gradual lack of elasticity and youthfulness, nor does it mean we need to shell out thousands on pricey professional treatments. Enter Philosophy’s latest skin treatment, Full of Promise – a cream treatment designed to help hydrate, support collagen, and restore volume and elasticity to skin that has lost firmness and flexibility due to the effects of aging. Simply apply after cleansing in the morning (and/or at night if you need a little extra help), and skin will look and feel lifted, smooth, supple, and even more defined. It may not be a miracle worker (that’s a different Philosophy product, come to think of it), but it sure beats letting time take a toll on your skin, unprotected!

It’s time to meet the 2016 Pantone Color of the Year or should I say 2016 Pantone ‘Colors’ of the Year. Nope, there’s no mistake. The experts at Pantone, announced not one, but two colors for the first time ever. The color authority chose the color combos of blush pink Rose Quartz and soft blue Serenity. Two calming pastel colors reflecting connection and wellness as well as a soothing sense of order and peace.
Rose Quartz is described as:
a persuasive yet gentle tone that conveys compassion and a sense of composure.
…;and Serenity is:
weightless and airy, like the expanse of the blue sky above us, bringing feelings of respite and relaxation even in turbulent times.
I’m obsessed with both and no matter which color you prefer, you’ll want to check out the several ways to style them below!

4. Soft pink hues are commonly paired with other neutrals but if you want to make a bold statement for the upcoming spring season, try pairing them with black.
5. Instead of looking for one piece with both shades in it, pair both colors by seeking out items to make your own combinations of the solid tones.

I was on Facebook recently when I saw a page belonging to a local woman who has set up her own business making letter art. Her work was beautifully done, with each letter crafted in an individual pattern and conforming to an overall theme, giving it a kitschy, arty feel that I loved. I thought how fabulous they would look on my little boys shelves in his room, but the only way I could afford the price per letter she asked would be to change my sons name to something with only two letters. So, whats a thrifty gal with great taste to do (except break out the baby name book)? Ask Google, of course! A little stealthy sleuth work turned up this guide from Caught On a Whim which demonstrates an oh so easy way to create your own block letters in any style. My child can keep his full seven letter name without having to live with bare shelves, and I can enjoy the satisfaction of knowing that Ive created an object of beauty at a fraction of the retail price!

Grapes are small round fruit. Some types have seeds but some are seedless. Grapes contain a lot of nutrients and healthy ingredients, but one of the important medical ingredients is resveratrol.
Resveratrol, which can be found in red and purple grapes, is the main ingredient of this delicious fruit which has beneficial effect on the heart, maintains our optimal weight and helps the prevention of this “illness” and protects the skin from damage caused by sun tanning .
