Welcome!

Thank you for visiting my website!  I’m a grown-up woman who wanted anti-aging solutions to help my skin act more like its younger self.

You know the drill: we grew up when SPF meant Coppertone oil, and smoking hot meant baking on the beach until we were red.

All is not lost! I do the research and I share the best solutions I can find for you.  Since this site is about good skin for women of all stages, I include information that should be helpful whether you’re 18 or 108.  

Good skin goes hand-in-hand with good nutrition so that is a major focus of this website, along with skincare DIY, product reviews, vegetarian re-makes of Old Hollywood recipes, and some beauty and style favorites of the old film stars.

I have a passion for Old Hollywood so in addition to remakes of stars’ recipes, I include information about their beauty routines and speculate about what they might be doing and using today.  I also add some fashion shots of the stars and recreate the look with today’s picks. 

I am a former financial professional and I studied French and Spanish in school,  but I’ve always loved and studied health and nutrition on my own.  I grew up in California and live here now; I also lived in France as a youngster and I love their holistic approach to aging, which includes eating healthy foods and staying happy. 

I’m a lifelong animal lover, and mama to a bossy orange tabby named Poppy, who likes to sit on my keyboard while I try to write.  Her little sister Lucy is usually too busy chasing invisible things in the air to be bothered. 

I hope you find information here that can help you to restore your skin, inspire some classic film watching,  and add value to your life. 

I welcome your feedback.
