Buster and I were discussing the other day how hard we both work and if you don’t take care of yourself it can take a toll on you. He was telling me how tired he gets chasing after squirrels, barking at the kids skateboarding in front of our house and nosing through the trash in the bathroom.

He agreed that it is very important to get plenty of rest, to keep yourself young and youthful. It also helps to ward off tired eyes, dark circles under the eyes and it is good for your over all health.

From the looks of him I would say that the sleep is doing it’s job. Isn’t he the cutest?


Skincare is Vital
When I was younger my mother always emphasized good skincare. If I sat there stretching my face or rubbing my eyes too hard she was always there to say, “Don’t do that you will get wrinkles.” If I was about to go to bed with a full face of make-up, she would make sure that I washed and cleansed before bed. My mother is the one who bless me with good skin. I never went though some horrible awkward pimple stage. I have always had good skin and been complimented for it.
However recently I got glasses and I was not happy with what I saw. I suddenly saw all of these “issues” on my face. I had a rash of red dots, circles under my eyes and a wrinkle! I have a wrinkle on my laugh line. It is my first “official” wrinkle. I am going to name it Sam. To put Sam in his place I got myself a friend, her name is Olay and she does her work in the cover of night.
Yes I will admit I am probably over reacting. It is probably because I just turned 30. But hey it is better to be proactive then reactive right? I will say one thing, my glasses are not my friend right now.
Yesterday after work I told Hubby that I was going to stop at the drugstore on the way home to pick up a face cream. Here was our conversation.
“What for?”
“I am having issues and I need to pre-empt the wrinkles and circles from taking over my face.”
“That stuff is a bunch of crap.”
“I disagree! My mother has been slopping that stuff on her face since I can remember and she is like……52 (?) and looks great!”
“Whatever.”
Boys they just don’t get it. I tell myself he will appreciate it when I am 52 and still smoking hot.
