theFajita unregistered	posted December 15, 2002 11:30 PM Hee hee, and fajitas too? Everytime I go to a Mexican restaurant, I see my name and I giggle! Don't worry, everyone is their own worst critic, I am sure you ankles look fine! Besides, no one really checks out ankles you know! ------------------ Food is the only art that nourishes! IP: Logged

morgana unregistered	posted December 16, 2002 11:28 AM Apple vinegar is good for the metabolism/digestion. I think. That's why it's especially recommended to those with weight problems. That I know for sure. But in any way it's very healthy and I'm sure it has numerous other great uses. It's best if you drink it first thing in the morning, dilluted with water, of course. But drinking lemon juice in the same way is also very good. I think either way the effects are similar for the metabolism. IP: Logged
Mystique Moderator Posts: 180 From: Registered: Oct 2009	posted December 16, 2002 07:40 PM Hello girls and boy QueenofSheba...I thought you were a girl on some other posts but happy you are a boy...and I think freckles are qute so leave 'em...you wouldn't be you without them! I had freckles on my nose and a few on my cheeks one summer I decided to worship the Sun all day every day and came back looking soooooo different My hair was naturally lightened as well...I looked like I was someone else for a couple of weeks then freckles disappeared and all went back to normal! Oxychic, I know what you mean and I often think when I am ready to quit it won't be so hard, but I will do it only when I am ready. I will be trying your scrub this weekend see how I do and will let you know... the Fajita, I had weak ankles when I was little but they are fine now....hmmmmmmm wondering are you and Oxychic Aquarian Sun or rising...I am an Aquarius Rising and weakness to the ankles is an Aquarian thingy. Curious! Financechick, thank you for making me smile...I was raised with avocado so its, how should I say....ummm a part of my very being ... just gets confusing cause I also read somewhere that avocado is not good. Anyway I got my test results in and cholesterol has lowered significantly so I will be eating my beloved avocado SOON! Hi Morgana and Aphrodite and oh hope I haven't forgotten anyone else on this thread...thank you for all your beauty tips :smile: Oh yes Financechick thanks for reminding me about the gloves and cream...so now I'll do the feet, socks and cream as well (obviously on the nights I sleep alone...can you imagine how sexy I would look with cream and gloves on my hands and socks and cream on my footsies climbing into bed with him....ooooh lala Goodnight beauties and handsome Love Mystique IP: Logged
financechick unregistered	posted December 16, 2002 08:27 PM well..avocado is really high in fat but it's the good kind of fat...I wouldn't go eating guacamole every day or eating slices of avocado in my salads or on my sandwiches every day....but I wouldn't eliminate it from my diet either...it's very high in the monunsaturated fat and I think vitamin E and potasium.

morgana unregistered	posted December 22, 2002 12:41 PM Fajita, I bought the aloe vera and put it on last night, but it really "pulled my face together", if you know what I mean. It's quite astringent. Maybe my skin needs something moister or more nourishing in the winter. I'll keep trying it out some more, but maybe it's best if I use it in the spring and summer when the air is more humid and we perspire more? What do you, or anyone else for that matter, think? , morgana IP: Logged
theFajita unregistered	posted December 22, 2002 06:16 PM Hey Morgana, I use it in all seasons, but I do use an eye cream in the winter too. I guess maybe it's not good for you in the winter I'M SO SORRY! I wasn't trying to dry out your skin. OK I am glad to hear all that about the apple cider vinegar. Yes we are both me and oxy- hence the ankle problemos ------------------ Food is the only art that nourishes! IP: Logged
morgana unregistered	posted December 23, 2002 03:56 PM Fajita, it's quite the opposite, you helped me very much and I want to thank you!! I want to tell you that I used it last night too and I thin I'm getting used to it, it seems to me (or is it only my imagination?) that my skin is smoother. Is that from aloe? Maybe I'll stick with it anyway and use a rich cream only once in a while. I see you use an eye cream too. Does it work for wrinkles? , morgana IP: Logged
theFajita unregistered	posted December 23, 2002 05:22 PM Hi Morgana yep that's the aloe making your skin soft and supple Hee hee well the eye cream is helping me a little with those little buggers around the eyes..I also should be gentler taking my make up off I know that's part of the reason for the eye.. I am so glad to help you Morgana, hope everything is well with you.. I am off to bake up a storm of cookies.. Later ------------------ Food is the only art that nourishes! IP: Logged

Evergreen unregistered	posted January 21, 2003 07:24 PM Taking a brisk walk in fresh air, by the sea or in the woods, is good for circulation, your lungs, your digestion, your mood and thus for your skin. I love walking in the rain or fog as well; my skin feels fresh, soft and smooth afterwards. After being out in the sun, without enough protection, I pat natural youghurt (not the kind with fruit) on the face, shoulders and chest and lets it dry before I rinse off and repeat once more. Then I use aloe vera before i go to bed. Works wonders for skin that has had too much sun. IP: Logged
Bernadette1216 unregistered	posted January 21, 2003 08:55 PM I use all Mary Kay skin care products and cosmetics. I have used it for years, and just recently began selling it. I have very dry skin and hair, so I pile on the moisturizers...I love floral scents, especially in lotions. I like powders too...like Shower to Shower. I love taking a shower with Milk Made shower gel by Avon. And the body lotion is heaven in a bottle. I do color my hair, so I use shampoos geared towards color treated hair. I use John Freida products as far as smoothing gels and such. And currently my favorite winter perfumes are Elige by Mary Kay and Fifth Avenue by Elizabeth Arden. In the summertime I like to wear Green Tea or Sunflowers, both by Elizabeth Arden. And from time to time I will wear White Diamonds by Elizabeth Taylor I'm all into smelling good IP: Logged
theFajita2 unregistered	posted January 21, 2003 09:32 PM Yes I like to smell good too Evergreen I stand by Aloe Vera it is so good for skin, I use it almost every night before bed it makes the face so soft and smooth Plus it is antibacterial! ------------------ food is the only art that nourishes!

Oxychick unregistered	posted January 25, 2003 08:48 PM Morgana- I put apple cider vinegar in my salad today. VERY tasty! Just wanted to say thanks for the tip. IP: Logged

Oxychick unregistered	posted January 26, 2003 06:19 AM Yes, ma'am, I have! IP: Logged
morgana unregistered	posted January 30, 2003 05:33 AM Hi, girls! Haven't been here for so long... Oxy, great! I adore apple cider vinegar, and it's so healty too. Does any of you know the best way to get rid of (or prevent) wrinkles around your eyes (except to stop smiling, but that's NOT an option, haha )? Or are you all still too young for that? I know our sweet miss Fajita is , morgana IP: Logged
theFajita unregistered	posted January 30, 2003 07:04 PM Um actually I am not too young - I have that problem! I smile like crazy and have noticed these little lines on the tops of my cheeks and under my eyes and need I say I am not pleased!! I always age gives a woman character but I wanted some sexiness before I got lines LOL I do know that helps to not remove eye makeup by tugging on the skin around the eyes. And I stand by the aloe every night I did try Estee Lauder night cream before but then everyone at my job asked me why my eyes were so puffy, I guess it added too much moisture But please tell if you guys know d ------------------ Food is the only art that nourishes!

morgana unregistered	posted February 01, 2003 05:09 AM Hey, Fajita! I'm using some cream (from L'Oreal) that contains retinol (the stuff that is also in vitamin A) and it seems it helps (it fills out the wrinkles from inside and this way it prevents them getting deeper), but now I've been noticing that my skin around the eyes maybe isn't getting enough moisture or something, I'm not exactly sure what it is. Maybe I'll try your Estee Lauder cream I really don't know what else to do except try out different creams. Does anyone know of any other "remedies"? IP: Logged
theFajita unregistered	posted February 01, 2003 04:42 PM thanks for your advice morgana We're still beautiful anyways.. ------------------ Food is the only art that nourishes! IP: Logged

Oxychick unregistered	posted February 09, 2003 02:11 PM Here's one-what about red cheeks? I don;t just mean rosy, healthy glow cheecks, I'm talking all-out red. I get very red, very, very easily. Concealer doesn't work as the red shows right through. My friends all tease me about it (in a fun, friendly way). I do have a facial mask, the Azulene Calming Mask from Mario Bdescu that works for the day i use it, so I usually try to use it before a big night on the town. Does anyone have any suggestions? I come out so red in a lot of pictures, it's weird. IP: Logged
sVirgo Knowflake Posts: 40 From: Colorado Registered: May 2009	posted February 09, 2003 02:25 PM Hi, I am using M.D. Forte eye cream with power of Retinol and Vitamins A & E which has brought significant difference around my eyes. But I am more worried about my stretch marks around my tummy. If any one have any suggestion, I would appreciate. IP: Logged
