10 No-Brainer Ways to Conquer Aging Skin

10 No-Brainer Ways to Keep Your Skin Looking Young

‘Antiaging skin care’ is a very popular concept in today’s world. Today everyone wants to hide their age using antiaging skin care procedures (and a number of people are successful too). However antiaging skin care is not achieved by any magic potion. ‘Antiaging skin care’ is about discipline. It is about being proactive. Antiaging skin care is retarding the ageing process. Here are a few tips for proactive antiaging skin care:

1. Maintain healthy eating habits: A well balanced diet is the key to maintaining a proper body metabolism. Eat a lot of fruits and vegetables (raw), they are the best source of fibre and have a very refreshing effect on your body. Avoid oily and fatty food; not only do they lack in essential nutrients but also cause obesity and other diseases which aid the aging process

2. Beat stress: This is probably the most important antiaging skin care measure. Stress disturbs the body metabolism and accelerates the aging process. Sleep, exercise and a relaxing bath, are all good ways of beating stress. Aroma-therapy is also known to bust stress.

3. Drink a lot of water: Antiaging skin care can’t be any simpler than this. Water helps in flushing out the toxins from the body, hence keeping it clean and making it less prone to disease. Around 8 glasses of water (per day) is recommended by all doctors.

4. Regular exercise is a wonderful antiaging skin care procedure. Besides toning your muscles, it also helps in cleaning the skin by flushing out the toxins in the form of sweat. Exercise should be followed by a warm shower in order to completely remove the toxins.

5. Avoid the use of strong, chemical based products on your skin. Natural skin care products are a good option. Use of organic skin care products (home made or commercial) can be a very effective antiaging skin care measure.

6. Do not overuse skin care products. Excessive and harsh application, both are harmful.

7. Do not ignore skin disorders; it can lead to permanent skin damage. Try over the counter medication and if that doesn’t help, immediately visit your dermatologist and seek his/her advice.

8. Vitamin C based skin care products are very popular means of antiaging skin care. However, these seem to oxidise very quickly (which makes them harmful for the skin). So store them properly. If the product turns Yellowish brown, it means that vitamin c has oxidised and the prodct is no longer suitable for use.

9. Protect your skin against UV radiation ; UV rays are known to speed up the aging process. So, a good sunscreen lotion should be a part of your antiaging skin care routine.

10.  Do not make unnecessary facial expressions out of habit such as squinting or holding an intense “resting face”. Your skin remembers each and every emotion projecting them out to the world in fragmented lines and wrinkles. Also falling into this category is unnecessary touching of the face or being rough with your skin. I would recommend using a satin pillowcase on your pillow at night to decrease lines, acne and the amount of hair lost from friction during sleep.

Fight sagging~!

These are small, easy ways to make great strides in keeping your skin (and hair) looking as youthful as possible without obsessing about it. While you’re at it, don’t forget to include DMAE in your skin care routine to fight the sagging~! Ah, but that is another topic for another day.

Are Selfies Always Selfish? 10 Great Uses for Selfies

You are probably aware that “selfie” was named word of the year by Oxford Dictionary for the year 2013. This created a platform for all kinds of jokes on every type of show on TV and the internet. And while I could miss a selfie here or there by myself or other people, I know there are also valuable uses for the selfie – though sharing them may not always be the value. Stars probably have the best selfies, though the comments left for stars are rarely the types of things we would say to our friends.

Here are ten ways we can utilize the selfie in 2014 to make our lives better:

1. TRACKING MOLES – Take selfies of any mole or spot on your body to track its progress or lack of change. I would go one step further with this and recommend the app, “Mole Detective” which recently played a large part in getting me to see a Dermatologist and subsequently a surgeon to remove a pre-cancerous spot on my ankle. The app allows you to take a picture of the spot, measure it and enter the details about the mole as it detects irregular edges, and depth and variations in the color. The app sets a reminder date to recheck the mole and will not stop until you actually take action~! What a wonderful thing for a procrastinator like me. It was not until I had this experience that I realized the other side of a cancerous mole gone bad is your bloodstream. I was told that if these spots are let go, you don’t just have more skin removed as I thought in wider areas; no, the cancerous poison goes out through your blood and goes everywhere in a very aggressive manner. The great thing about this is that you can normally see it unless it is on your scalp, where they often grow. Other common growth sites are the bottom of the feet, ankles, nose and ears. I would like to add that my spot itched. When you consider it was very fast cell division, it makes sense that it itched. These were some of the things that nagged me and saved my life even before it was in jeopardy. I hope it will do the same for you. This is a definite *SNAP THAT SELFIE*.
2. TRACKING SKIN CARE PROGRESS – The way science works is by observation. All of the advances made in skin care were by careful study. The great thing about this is that you don’t have to be a scientist to notice changes in your skin. If you start a new skin care regimen or product for a specific area’s treatment, it is a smart idea to track your progress. This is extremely easy with the use of the selfie. Try to take the picture from the same distance, angle, background, time of day/lighting each time, every week. It’s easy to miss subtle changes if you don’t track them. Celebrate these changes~! Also, if you are not seeing changes, you will know that particular product is not working for you, so you don’t need to devote months of money, time and effort into a product that did not show you results, personally. After all, nothing works for everyone all the time. Just don’t post these for your friends, maybe, but a product that is working for you – especially if it is a ModelSupplies product – please send us a copy~! You will most likely get some sort of reward that will add to your feeling of accomplishment and make us very grateful.
3. TRACKING WEIGHT LOSS / MUSCLE GAIN – This “selfie” might actually be better if it is taken by a friend or partner so you can get the correct angle – which is straight up and down, level. I cannot tell you how often to take this type of selfie, but I can tell you it is very rewarding to see your body change and morph into what you want to accomplish no matter how long it takes. Do the same, take it regularly, note the date, try to get the same backgrounds and lighting, even the same clothes!~ You may like to credit a fitness guru or particular diet with your success and this can be very rewarding. Maybe you can even be a spokesperson for a product or inspire others to make positive changes in their lives as well. This type of photo pops up every now and then in a timeline and it almost always looks pretty self-serving, showing the phone in the mirror, maybe some abs, we have all seen this type of selfie. I am suggesting you keep them for your own use. Maybe after you have enough of them, you can create a flip book or slideshow. How fun will it be to see yourself morph into the fabulous specimen you have become?
4. RECOVERY & REHABILITATION – If you have been in any type of accident, surgery or had any kind of injury to your self, it might be nice to track your progress with the use of selfies. For example, I am developing a new scar treatment right now and using my surgical site from the removal of the pre-cancerous spot as the subject. Taking pictures of this area reinforces the healing taking place in my mind, too. I can see how the formula is working and after the scar fades away, I can look back and see how far I have come, using these selfies as a source of gratitude for my life. These may be selfies you wish to share, but I would suggest waiting until you have gone considerably far toward your goal of healing. It helps your self esteem later, if you have a difficult moment in your life, to look back and realize you came through that hard time, surely you are strong enough to come through this one as well.
5. YOGA / WORKOUTS – I don’t want to suggest the use of this kind of selfie for the ego; that is not the goal. It would be counterproductive. This type of selfie would be more to measure your progress. Sometimes it’s easy to forget how far you have come in any type of exercise program. With yoga, there will be poses it may take years to attain, so take a picture when you get there~! This is not so you can brag to your friends, no. This is for your own personal growth and you might consider it to be a very personal type of picture or a piece of art. I remember a time when I could barely bend over to brush my teeth in the morning. Now, my hands reach flat on the ground showing flexible arteries and proving why my blood pressure is so wonderfully normal. I can do the splits after a year or so of practice at age 50~! I want to see a picture of that in 20 years. Will I still be able to do them? Will I be able to do even more?
6. BRACES / DENTAL WORK – Another thing I am documenting privately is the progress of my braces – which has been astonishingly quick. I found it difficult to explain what happened to my teeth, mainly because I’m not really sure. It was even more difficult to explain the severity of the sudden gaps that began to grow at age 48. My tongue was pushing my teeth out of my mouth while I slept. Probably stress. But I found myself more and more showing a picture as an explanation when people would ask. They instantly understand why I have braces at age 50 and the progress is remarkable. This also allows me to spread the word that your teeth are not always going to stay still. I did not have braces as a child, so it was quite a shock to suddenly need them. I heard from many people who did have braces as a child, that they were given retainers to keep their teeth in place and need to keep the retainer updated. I let my experience serve as a warning to others to wear their retainer or look into getting one. It will also make a nice personal slideshow when this journey has ended.
7. TRACKING HAIR GROWTH OR LOSS – When you are regrowing hair on your scalp or brows or beard, it helps to take a baseline selfie so you know where you started. Again, be sure to keep as much of the atmosphere the same as possible to ensure integrity of the progress. Here again, you are taking action to make a change, so you should track the progress so you can look after your investment of time and money. It’s easy to overlook tiny sprouts that were not there previously. For this type of selfie, I would suggest taking them even more frequently, however, since the average growth cycle of a brow or eyelash hair, for example, is 60 days. The positive reinforcement you feel when you see your progress will encourage more growth. If you are continuing to lose hair, this could be a sign of a medical condition and these pictures could help your doctor form a diagnosis.
8. DOCUMENTING ABUSE – This is a darker subject than I normally broach, but this is sadly not that uncommon of a problem, so I feel it should be mentioned here. If someone hurts you, you should take a picture of it. Get a free account at Dropbox.com so you can store the photos on a cloud that is accessible from any location, smartphone or computer. No one can rip them up or delete them. They are your evidence. You should look hard at these pictures, understand you absolutely do not deserve this and tell yourself all the time, “I deserve loving, peaceful relationships” as you change your situation.
9. DOCUMENTING LOVELY MOMENTS – Capture your precious moments just like the old days – weddings, birthday parties, reunions, joyous occasions – but do it as a selfie, too. You have more control over the way the picture is taken and which is chosen to keep  or delete. This is the most obvious of the suggestions, but I think there is something special about a picture snapped with your own hand as opposed to the photographer. Don’t get me wrong, professional photos are extremely important, but the selfies capture an element of fun and freedom of expression as long as you don’t get too tied to the end result. Remember, you don’t have to send it automatically to Instagram every single time.
10. PREVIEW CLOTHES FOR SPECIAL OCCASION – You have a special event coming up, but not sure what to wear? Try on your picks and take a pic~! Have you ever tried on 3 different outfits only to wonder what the first one looked like and had to put it on again? Save time and get a more accurate representation of your image by taking selfies – or having someone else take them. You can even try the same outfit with different shoes a few times and not have to do it over and over again~! Have you been there? I sure have!~ Maybe you share the winning outfit. Everyone loves a winning outfit 😉

Document your life. Just don’t post it all the time 😉 Technology gives us wonderful tools to make our lives fuller, easier and longer. Let’s use them in 2014 like never before~!

Have You Ever Temporarily Lost Your Confidence? #Makeovers

Which side looks more confident? Even subtle changes can make a world of difference in your outlook!

You know the tell-tale signs of a dip in self-confidence: slow or poor decision making, feeling of dread and the instinct to retreat from any type of challenge. We ALL experience these feelings every now and then. Sometimes it happens for no apparent reason, but often, it is the result of some exterior event such as loss of a job or divorce/break up. These are real problems that need to be worked through internally. However…you can speed the process and give it a boost from the outside… that’s right, I’m talking “MAKEOVER”~!

I know a lot of people think that makeovers, makeup, fashion, etc. are shallow, but have they considered how important it is to “act as if”? This is probably not a new phrase to you, but it is no less magical upon rediscovery! The best advice I can give someone who is sad for no apparent reason is to “act as if” they are happy. This is not the same as “put on a happy face”, which has the connotation of faking for the benefit of others. “Acting as if” is for your own personal benefit to retrain your brain, to form the new neuropathways you need to function in a more balanced way. Your brain needs repetition to learn new ideas and change the chemicals that rule your emotions.

While much of this is indeed done in thought, it can be sparked by changes on the exterior and certainly reinforces the idea that you are happy. To those naysayers who feel that caring about your skin, appearance, looks is a shallow or vain practice, I would say, “Get a haircut!” After your new ‘do, you will notice SOMETHING. It might be a little bounce in your step or just the fact that you look into the mirror more to check it out. Looking into the mirror is an excellent time to do some reinforcing thinking and self-talk that will keep you well on your road to happiness. I am in no way suggesting you should stare at yourself all day in the mirror or that all women must wear makeup or that all men should not – these are all personal choices and should be respected as such. I am merely suggesting that taking pride in your appearance is not a shallow action. It has real and lasting benefits to boost your self-esteem and should be respected as such. You know your brain is playing a tape constantly forming neuropathways, why not help determine where they go!

How To Handle Your Online Business In The Face of Personal Tragedy

Want to try a 24kt Gold Mask for your skin for Valentine’s date tonight? STOP!

Not the time to try a 24kt Gold Facial Mask for the 1st time!

If you’ve watched the Style channel around the time of any red carpet event, you have no doubt seen the beauty procedures designed for stars before a big Hollywood party. The primping and pampering, massages and facials, fittings and steams. Well, I am here to tell you that one of the best things you can do for your big event tomorrow night is….

NOTHING OUT OF THE ORDINARY~!!!

Yes, that’s right! If you want to look fantastic tomorrow night, the best thing to do is stick pretty much to your usual rituals! Even lay off some of those steps that are likely to cause eruptions or irritations. I know you have been dying to try that new mask, but most masks are designed to eliminate the impurities from your skin and that is not a pretty process to behold! The only healthy way out for impurities in your skin is to come through the surface, causing a blemish… a pimple… a ZIT~!!!

Definitely not what you need for a special night! There are others who crave extra exfoliation today to prepare for tonight or tomorrow – STOP~!!! You may set into motion a sensitivity to abrasion, chemical or even natural ingredients that you didn’t know you had. Consider the 24 hour test for hair coloring… if you wouldn’t take that chance with your hair (or even if you would, you vixen!), do not take the chance with your skin! The results are on a roulette wheel and you never know which way your luck will run. This is NO TIME to discover a brand new allergy, is it?

To look your very best, trust your own wisdom and intuition that you used to set up the routine you were on when you were ASKED out on that date! Save the 24kt Gold Mask for the Friday night of a 3 day weekend you plan to dedicate to spa luxuries. Concentrate instead on a new shade of lipstick, slightly different hairdo, pop of color on your shoes or other unexpected place and… remember that men just love black… They just do… Wear black and an unexpected pop of color to make your night special and draw the attention to you. So just keep being your beautiful, unique self!

If you want a Happy Valentine, Be a Happy Valentine ♥

(This goes for men, too!)

You have a lot of other things to think about besides your skin, after all, don’t you? I promise most men, real men will not even notice the things we women obsess about – that even includes cellulite. We, women would do well to follow suit. And dark chocolate is not only filled with antioxidants, it is also a true aphrodisiac! Have a beautiful Valentine’s Day and let your heart swell with love!

How To Handle Your Online Business In The Face of Personal Tragedy

Despair.

These events unfolded in such a ridiculous way, my life is on hold until I can explain them. I looked for a guide to help me during this time and did not find one. This is not a typical blog post for me. Perhaps this can serve for someone in the future.

Despair. Ludicrous events. Unbelievable.

The customer service end of my online business is probably the most challenging. It can sometimes take up to 20 minutes to craft the proper response to a customer inquiry or complaint. It needs to be concise, very brief and to the point. Easier stated than crafted.

The beginning of this sounds like the segue for a joke: we just paid off our car a couple of days before and it wouldn’t start. It would start again if we left it alone for a few hours, sometimes overnight. I was convinced through my Googling that it had something to do with the car’s anti-theft system or electronic keys. As it was, the car couldn’t be trusted and, if it started, needed to be left on wherever it went – less than ideal. Since it was likely a security issue, it would need to be taken to the dealer. The dealer always means big bucks. We milked it until it stopped for good on Christmas Eve 2009.

Everything we were supposed to attend, forget it. We didn’t even have food in the house. The only thing there was to do was tweet. In my tweets, I did not want to bring others down, so barely mentioned my situation. We had to wait until Christmas was over to get the car into the dealer. And on December 26th, the car started to go to the dealer! Well, it saved us money for towing. It turned out to be the starter, something my husband could have fixed, instead it was over $400 at the dealer. While the car was in the dealer and during all of this, shipments were getting delayed and I got word that my father was in the hospital and it was pretty bad. I should find a way there. Shipments were delayed and stress was mounting.

The dealer remarked to my husband that the brakes were going to need work very soon and that we should plan on that or just get them done that day for an additional $1,200. He told them he would do them himself. We figured we had another month to get the parts and tools needed for that job. We were wrong. The brakes were quickly starting to fail and we had to consolidate shipping days.

I didn’t get to the hospital at all. That’s ok. It will be alright. Dad will be fine and I will get up there in a day or two.

By New Year’s Eve, the brakes failed completely. The car could not be driven at all. Both the front and rear brakes as well as the two rear wheel cylinders were out.

And we JUST paid the car off.

It was frigid in Michigan during this time, below zero with wind chills and in single digits without the help of the wind. We had blowing snow and no garage to shield the car or the man working on it who happened to be my husband.

I didn’t get to the hospital at all. No shipments were going out.

This process took days. And the days became longer and longer. There was little I could do to actually help. My husband literally walked a mile to the parts store to make sure he would get the right parts.

You’re probably wondering why someone didn’t drive us, etc. In Michigan, during the winter, people really do not see each other much. If we needed to ask for a favor, it better be a big favor. From what my sister said, that favor was going to need to be a ride 60 miles to the hospital. My husband assured me that I would not need to ask anyone for that favor. Shipments were delayed. I can still feel the stress.

I like to ship same to next day. I wanted to see my dad.

I began to realize that I was very behind and put my eBay and Etsy stores on vacation, putting the reasons in the space provided for notes to customers. I also noted my situation on my Me Page at eBay and tweeted it for good measure. I wasn’t sure anyone would see anything. Orders still came in, God Bless them.

Finally! On January 8th, 2010, we got to the hospital to see my dad, shipping just before going.

My dad was far worse than I imagined. He couldn’t even look at me, speak or anything except an almost imperceptible hand squeeze. I held his hand the whole time I was there. I wasn’t sure we should leave, but my husband had been under a car in horrific weather conditions for days. We needed to rest. The stress had been exhausting, too.

I never thought that would be the last time I would see my father alive.

The next day, January 9th, 2010, my dad let go at 6:30 am. I had been planning to go see him later that day, but he was already gone. Everyone said he held on to see me.

In this blur of emotion, this raw suffering, I still had to think about what to do with my business. I wasn’t sure what to do. I knew this would delay or further delay shipments and that I needed to address the public. I updated my vacation store status on eBay and Etsy, changed my Me Page and finally sent each person a copy and paste note about what was going on. It took a long time to write the note, but the copy and paste was therapeutic in some way. It was something I could manage in between helping with the funeral service and arrangements.

Talking to my friends was especially helpful during this time. Kelly (not on Twitter 😉 reminded me what I would do in a situation like this – I would contact everyone, of course. @PowerSellingMom listened to me and advised me on the morning of the funeral. She calmed me down for 20 minutes, allowing me to go over my checklist of things I needed to do for the business. I am eternally grateful to Danna for that time. She also suggested I do this blog post.

I made sure I emailed or messaged everyone personally. I gave the option in the note to simply request a refund. I think that was pivotal. Of all the orders, only one opted for a refund and I was able to do that swiftly and without any hard feelings. Here is the note:

Hi,
My father passed away yesterday after struggling through the holidays. Your prayers are greatly appreciated. All shipments are delayed. Please request a refund through eBay messaging if you cannot wait. Talk to you soon. Your patience is BEYOND appreciated.

Thank you again for your order.
Anita @ModelSupplies & DNAshopper

So far, no one has left me negative, neutral or nasty comment. My customers are truly the best.

It is my hope this information will be useful to someone during a time when they find it difficult to think. It may sound strange that I would be so worried about my business during such personal tragedy, but there is not much separation between my personal and business life and I love it that way. I am still grappling with the loss of my father and still get delayed a couple days here and there. I cannot predict when it will happen, but knowing my customers care for me like I care for them has kept me going. Grateful cannot begin to describe my feelings for you. Thank you so much for standing by me during this time.

Open Your Mind! Expand Your Horizons! – Quick 15 minute show

Most of you know that I am a vegetarian, middle of the road Democrat and against animal

testing for cosmetics. What you may not know is that I am a supporter of the right to bear

arms and, while I do not hunt or eat meat myself, I can see the need for others to do so

and hold no “beef” with them over it. In fact, I have recently begun selling Pella hunting

wear and gear in cooperation with PheasantPhun.com and TeamHuntress.com and am finding a

new appreciation for it!

I believe it is extremely important for us to keep our minds open, live and let live and

not attack one another over our beliefs. There is room for all of us in this world and

plenty of room for varying opinions.

Skin Care – What About Normal Young Skin?

Caring for Normal healthy skin

How old should you be when you start a skin care routine? My skin is normal, do I need a skin care routine?

If you have normal skin, you will still want to keep up a basic skin care regime to ensure beautiful skin well into your later years. It is absolutely essential and considered simply good hygeine to take care of your skin. Soap and water is not enough and it’s not the answer. It’s important not to overdo any of the steps involved and use gentle products at all times since your skin can overreact to harsh treatments.

Step 1) Cleanse – Choose a cleanser for every day that does not use friction, granules or strong chemical exfoliants. Foaming is not important and the surface should feel not oily, not dry or tight after rinsing and patting dry.

Step 2) Tone – Toners can be anything from a boost of vitamins such as Best Ever Toner by ModelSupplies to preparations made for exfoliation and oil removal. Avoid alcohol, high contents of witch hazel or anything drying. Alpha hydroxy acids are popular in exfoliating toners, but they are best used at bedtime only since it reduces your skin’s ability to protect from the sun.

Step 3) Moisturize – Use a light moisturizer that is right for your skin. After applying the moisturizer, wait a few minutes and do the tissue test: if a ply of toilet tissue will stick to your forehead, it is too greasy of a lotion for you. Also, if it feels too oily, listen to your instincts. If your moisturizer is too heavy, it can cause your skin to stop producing oil for itself resulting in dry skin! The great thing is that you will know when you have the right one. Your skin will feel fresh, soft, and effortless.

Step 4) Sunscreen – Use at least SPF 30 sunscreen on your face and body every day! At least your face. The sooner you begin this action, the better. Most Moms know they need to put sunscreen on their children and they should teach them early as part of a routine. It is an action you can take to prevent skin cancer. Start very young and never stop!

Step 5) Masks – When your skin is young and normal, don’t torture it with drying mud masks or take heavy action. Once a week, a nice yogurt exfoliating mask would be great! You really only need to remove dead skin cells, excess oil buildup and get it done as gently as possible.

In the end, you really have the same routine as the rest of us, but with a more gentle product line and a few less steps.
