I can’t remember a time when I didn’t have make up. I always had the usual,- eyes, cheeks and lips done. It was years later that I added foundation and concealer to my repertoire. Now it’s all about the lotions, most specifically the anti-aging kind. And there is a huge selection to choose from and I am constantly looking for that “fountain of youth”. But this is nothing new.
About 17 years ago, before all the many anti-agents of today - Andra started to sell Nu-Skin and had come to see me to show me the products. I know she really wanted to recruit me but I already had a business and was not looking to add more to my plate. I did purchase an array of items from cleansers to masques to moisturizers. I was very intrigued about a “face-lifting” masque that was to make me look years younger. Nikki was about 6 years old and she was excited for me. I chose a quiet Sunday afternoon to make magic. I applied the concoction on my face and as it dried, I could feel the tightening and couldn’t even move my mouth. My God…it was really working! Nikki watched this with great interest and even gave me a foot massage during the 30 minute wait. When the half hour was up, she and I ran to the bathroom where I washed off the mask. We both looked intently in the mirror - I turning my face side to side to get the full impact. Nikki broke the silence by exclaiming “Wow-you do look younger! You look like my sister!”
I laughed and agreed. Then I told her to help me clean up. And she retorted “Yeah, you look like my sister but you still sound like my mom!”
