Tunic Vest and Skin Care

Two things I want to share with you today:  first--I'm going to LOVE this tunic vest!  It's a wonderful material, the kind that flows over your shape, is soft and warm, and keeps it's shape.  The material is sort of like a wool terri--it has a little nap on the outside.  On the inside ( you can see a little on the lapel) is more like a flannel.  It will match up with all of my leggings--a nice addition to my wardrobe!

Secondly, I wanted to share with you my experience in working at a skin care spa.  One of the things I learned is that the skin care products at the department stores are probably the WORST bang for your buck.  I used to buy Estee Lauder and Chanel, to name a few.  The medical grade or specialty brands just sold to aestheticians are probably a better investment.  That's not to say I use the more expensive ones exclusively; I mix the high end with the lower end--my trusted drug store brands.

 For example, for my moisturizer, I like one that does double duty; moisturizer  with peptides and sunscreen.  On the low end, I love Oil of Olay (oh yes, my aesthetician would be cringing right now). On the higher end, the Hydro-Peptide in the blue bottle.  The last one on the right is a serum--just a straight moisturizer--and more on that later.

Would you like to know about micro-derm abrasion????  I have first hand experience!
