"I am a freelance writer/producer and former on-camera reporter/anchor from Chicago. Ten years ago, I packed my bags and moved near the Pacific Ocean, settling in sunny Santa Monica, California.
Growing up with an older mom, (she gave birth to me at 38, which was OLD back in the day) I became aware of the process and results of aging at a young age. Geez, everyone around me was older – even my siblings were at least 8 to 13 years older! At 16, I already had my hands in my mom’s wrinkle creams and was buying my own. At 18, I enrolled in modeling school where I Iearned the in’s and out’s of skin care.
With modeling on my mind, I tried a myriad of products. I had full dresser drawers of makeup and creams and tubes, all fervently acquired in my quest to stay young-looking. I tried everything from the discount drug store creams to the $50 dollar department store creams, and put up with lots of snobby saleswomen as I sampled them all at Marshall Fields.
With decades of exposure to advertising ads featuring women with porcelain skin, I asked my sisters if I could remove my freckles somehow. They just laughed at me! WHO knew I was so ahead of my time? I guess I had lofty goals – and turned anti-aging into a serious hobby.
All that experimenting paid off, because I found some tips and tricks along my journey….and even was able to try laser removal of sunspots, chemical peels and Restyalene…
In my 30’s, I still managed to stay ahead of the aging curve.
The science of anti-aging is advancing – which gives us all more options. So, I created the Anti-Age Arsenal to allow me to share some of my insights and expertise and create a community of women who accept and LOVE their age, but just want to look a little younger.
Enjoy!
