The Journey into Yoga

There is a brief pause between an inhale and exhale. A pause I never cared to noticed it existed. In that pause, I now surrender and enter into a new world! This is the place where my deepest, most cherished thoughts reside!

10 Years Younger Is No Longer An Option!

On December 18th I will celebrate my 41st birthday (however, this year I don’t feel it is a reason for celebration). They call it over the hill and they couldn’t be more right. From up here the bottom looks like its rapidly approaching and there is nothing that can stop you from beginning the decent to the depths of senile living. Time catches up to you and one fine morning it is…Oh my God, I am old – I am my mom’s age, ughhh!

Yep…I can feel it already, this birthday is going to hit HARD!!!

For some strange reason I did not get this kind of white knuckling fear of getting old when I celebrated my 40th birthday. Although my body neither looks nor feels like the one of a 20 year old anymore, I have always felt fabulous! Don’t they say age is a state of mind? Well, my mind felt FAB and I was just fine. But lately I feel my mind awakening from its self induced coma.

Don’t get me wrong, I do feel and I have been told many times, that I don’t look my age, people are always surprised when I tell them I am 40 years old. I guess I must have been in denial all this time, or maybe since I became an esthetician, fighting gravity has become more important to me.

I don’t know…, I’m getting old and there is nothing I can do…or is there? Is it possible to defy gravity? Can simple changes in your life make you look more than 10 yrs younger? I mean, I preach every day to my clients how having a good skin care regimen can change people’s skin, but does it really work?

I feel it is an important question and I guess I am compelled to find out the answer. But I want to go beyond skin care. I want to see if increasing fitness, implementing a balanced diet while following my skin care regimen can really keep me looking young.

You got it ladies; I am NOT going to go quietly into the night without a fight! I have promised myself to start a real fight against gravity and free radicals from head to toe! Wrinkles, I am coming after you! 10yrs younger is no longer an option! This blog is a way to keep me accountable and I hope I can inspire you to go after your wrinkles too!

I wanted to start this blog on my 41st birthday, but I can’t wait! I’ve decided to start the road to a healthier life style and on my 42nd birthday I will see if 16 months of healthy living has made a noticeable improvement in the way I feel and look!
