Love the TOP TEN tips, as I sit here on my sofa with strawberries and yogurt on my face, my dog curiously licking his chops!

I’ve got a couple of tips to add. One fits right in with your “let’s raid the pantry” idea. Before an big night out, mix an egg white with about half a lemon until almost frothy. Caution, if you have sensitive skin, add lemon to taste…you may only want a couple of drops. Apply and let dry for about half an hour. Your skin will be absolutely smooth, and if oily skin is your disgrace, then this mask is perfect. It dries up pimples and keeps your skin supple but not shiny.

The other tip goes the more commercial road, but it’s a mask I can’t live without, and for the price, it’s easy to afford. Peter Thomas Roth’s Sulfur Cooling Mask. Generously-sized pot for $40 and it lasts for at least 6 months, and I use it a couple of times a week. Read about it, it does all good things, and none of the bad, again great for oily, mature skin: http://www.sephora.com/browse/product.jhtml?id=P3617&shouldPaginate=true&categoryId=3728. And the fun samples from Sephora are a nice surprise!

Until next time Viviana, and thanks for keeping us honest!

Loved all the wonderful tips. Who says you have to spend a lot of money to look like a billion dollars? Along those lines, if you have a hard time giving up your massage, there are also massage schools out there where you can get excellent massages for a lot less than an established masseuse. Make sure you make an appointment, because some schools have waiting lists…

Hey Fashionista…wow what a blog full of great advice. Had to laugh at the comment “It’s cheaper to get stabbed by botulism in a syringe than get a facelift.” Both seem somewhat scary to me though I am not opposed to at least considering both or either…but not just yet!

I just went to my closet pulled out two skirts I never wear because of the lengths and had them altered shorter for summer above the knee…perhaps a little too above the knee I might admit …never the less a great alternative to shorts and it was only $8 for hemming. Now I just need a spray on tan so my white legs do not blind people.

Also I would add along with borrowing a friends clothes or handbag for that special event. You can perhaps borrow jewelry as well.

Thanks Viviana!
