Skinpact News: Spring Break and a Healthy Glow

.


Spring Break has arrived—the welcomed escape from winter weather. For most of us, however, flaunting pasty white limbs that have been in hibernation for months is frightening enough to send us back home—or worse, running to the tanning salon {{{shudder}}}. Watch the following webisode of Skinpact News featuring Drs. Katie Rodan and Kathy Fields, "Spring Break" to hear what this means for your skin and how to look your best next time you hit the beach.





I use the Rodan + Fields Foaming Sunless Tan, mostly on my legs, and it truly works wonderfully. There are no orange streaks, it develops slowly in a natural way, and if you follow the directions you get no dark spots on your heals, knees, or ankles. The other thing I REALLY love is that there is no horrible odor to it... you don't go out of the house stinking like a chemical lab.




If you are looking for a great daily moisturizer to use on your knees, ankles, heals to keep the Sunless Tan from collecting; or to just keep your skin moisturized and protected, I have two I can recommend:

Daily Body Moisturizer
SPF 30 Body Sunscreen

Contact me for more information on how to get a healthy glow with these products, or any other Rodan + Fields products, via my website or by email, LJSBlog@aol.com; you can even give me a phone call at (407) 433-2806.

I'm also looking for 1 or 2 to help me expand my business so if you are, or you know someone who is self-motivated, loves people, loves helping others succeed, is FUN to be around, and has about 15 hours a week to create a substantial side income, I'd loved to hear from you... contact me via my website, email LJSBlog@aol.com or call me at (407) 433-2806.

Happy Anniversary to the Love of My Life

.



On March 15, 1997, I married the most wonderful man in the entire world... Bill came into my life two years earlier when I was in need of a friend. He was such a sweet, generous, and humorous man who could make me feel loved with just a smile or a look.

Since meeting him I have grown so much and gained such confidence because of his support and love.

He is the best husband in the world... he does almost all the housework, because I am unable to, and helps take care of the doggies, plus has been the best step-father any child could ask for - just ask Nikolaus and Alexander.

I love Bill with all my heart and soul and cannot believe that 15 years have gone by so quickly... I pray that I can have many, many more with this fabulous man who chose me to be his soul mate.




Happy anniversary, my darling Bill... thank you for giving me the most wonderful 15 years of my life. I love you!  xoxox

Happy 70th Birthday to the Most Wonderful Man in the World

.

On March 8th 1942, my favorite person in the whole world was born.....


William Edward Shewbridge

I am SO grateful that he came into my life in 1995 and changed it forever. From the day we met, he made me feel special, confident, and happy.

He has the best sense of humor, loves the same kind of music I do, loves to try new things, and loves to go on adventures together; whether it be to a local museum, Disney World, or a cruise around Europe.

He is also the MOST helpful husband a woman could ever ask for... he does all the housework (except for laundry and cooking, but he helps when I ask), and does a fantastic job at all of it. He even helps take care of all of the doggies, walking them and even has started helping me bathe and groom them.

He is also the best step-father to my boys - and they would be the first to tell you that.




































I love spending every day with him and only hope that I can spend 70 more years with him. =)

So, Bill, my love, thank you for making my life wonderful and for all the little things you do to make me smile every single day. I am the luckiest woman in the world. Have a very happy birthday. I love you with all my heart!
