I was home sick today with cedar fever (or maybe just a cold) and tried doing some online research. However, in my depleted state, I could not deal with anything that required too much thinking. Somehow, I happened upon a blurb from a cosmetic industry site about color trends for Spring/Summer 2011. Great! I’ve been wanting to learn more about makeup. Here is the forecast:
“The color forecast for the upcoming trend season Spring/Summer 2011 is described by the main four trend directions: Meditative Visions, Sportive Appeal, Fairy Dust and Savage Expressions. Trends existing side by side can be very oppositional like in Spring/Summer 2011 ranging from spiritual non-colors, fairy green and pink shades to very emotional saturated and bright shades.”
Although I liked the idea of “Savage Expressions” 
, trying to decipher the rest of it (Meditative Visions? spiritual non-colors??) just made me want to go lie down. I think I’ll stick to reading something easier, like medical journals!

Yesterday, David and I decided to shoot a video demo of a chemical peel. It was the end of the day; no time for rehearsal. We filmed the procedure and I was proud of myself for managing not to stumble on my words or otherwise mangle the delivery. Did learn one thing, though; the camera works way better when you hit the “record” button. 
I’d better stick to my day job!

Happy New Year! My new year’s resolution is to keep my letters brief! Some people have complained (well, mostly my husband) that I tend to go on and on. Wait a minute; I’m not sure he’s talking about my newsletters! If you’re like me, you probably get bombarded daily with hundreds of e-mails as well as newspapers, magazines, internet articles, Facebook, Twitter, etc. Sometimes I feel like I’m trying to drink from a fire hose in this age of information overload. I sympathize with you!
So, let’s get down to business. No, first, a story:
I was reflecting on my practice while at the gym last week. Yes, every new year I resolve to get to the gym at least once a quarter. Now I’m good till April. So, I’m in the gym, trudging along on the treadmill, watching my favorite guilty pleasure show, “Real Housewives of Orange County” on the flatscreen. (Actually, it’s my second favorite; Real Housewives of NYC is the best!). Anyway, there’s no sound, and I can’t read the subtitles, so I have to guess at what’s going on.

Why Women Wrinkle Around Mouth.
I see women every day who hate the little vertical lines around the mouth. This article explains why women are more prone to develop these lines. Men have beards, and all the support structures for those hair follicles thickens the skin. However, I am now using a new technique of laying down fines lines of diluted filler in the upper lip to strengthen the tissue. This is usually done in conjunction with a little filler to restore lip volume. So far, I’m liking the results!
