How Do I Get Rid of These Lines?

I'm almost 54 and I need a rescue for the lines/wrinkles on my face, especially those around my mouth (not the smoking lines above my lips - damn cigarettes) but those on either side of my mouth and of course the lines under and on the sides of my eyes.

I'll admit that I've always been on the tom-boy side and I've never taken good care of my skin. When I was an adolescent (a long time ago) I had acne but I was fortunate not to have too many lasting scars from enlarged pores.

I'm using Clinique products but I'm wondering what other women are using, what have you found to be the most effective for your skin and especially the lines/wrinkles?

OMG, I'm getting old!!
Do you call them lines or wrinkles?

Look, I Can Walk

Well my little Rudy (grandson) has finally started walking.

Planning a Cruise to Alaska

We've been on a number of cruises and although I've always wanted to see Alaska, we have never gone - probably because I could never find a good cruise rate. All that changed this year and I was able to snag a great cruise deal for an 11 night cruise on Celebrity's Infinity (we were on the Infinity when we cruised to Hawaii in 2007).

San Francisco
At Sea
At Sea
Ketchikan
Juneau
Skagway
Icy Strait Point
Hubbard Glacier Cruising
Sitka
At Sea
Victoria, BC
Vancouver

We initially booked a Sky Suite at a rate of 50% off last years rate (and got a $300 shipboard credit to boot) and then this past week, prices dropped again and we were able to upgrade to a Celebrity Suite (dropped $1,000 per person for this cabin category). We are still 2 months away from this cruise and we are hopeful that we will see yet another drop in prices.

Have you traveled to Alaska? If so, what shore excursions would you recommend?

It's Been a Year Already - Rudy Turns 1

We drove to Houston this weekend to celebrate Rudy's First Birthday! It's hard to believe he's ONE but this party did him justice. My DIL did a Baseball motif for the party. All four of Rudy's Grandparents came (his other set all the way from New Jersey) along with all his aunts and uncles, his cousin, Godparents, and friends alike - this is one very loved little boy!!!!



Rudy's Mommy baked and decorated a cake just for Rudy to tear into (and he did), oh what a mess and oh how he loved his cake (although he hated that hat).


Rudy even dressed the part of the baseball player.


This was Rudy showing his Nana (me) how big he was.........there is no other love than the love of a grand parent!!!

Amazing New Hair Product

I'm not doing a paid advertisement for this company but I just have to tell you about TRESemme 24 Hour BODY shampoo, cream rinse, weightless creme, foaming mousse, and finishing spray.
I have very thin, straight, and limp hair in addition to it being gray. These products give me style and hold and volume without weight or stickiness ALL DAY even with humidity being close to 66%.
I can finally clean up in the morning and still look completely put together at 10pm - no kidding.
