Feels good to have short hair again

by The Diva

I’ve been dying to get my hair cut for the last two weeks. I tried to get it cut last weekend but my regular hair dresser was off sick so I decided to wait until she came back.

Earlier today my husband and I called our regular hair salon to make an appointment and we found out that our regular hair stylest wasn’t working there anymore. She’s sick and probably won’t be returning.

By now I really needed a hair cut so I made an appointment with one of the other regular hair dressers that work at the salon and crossed my fingers. It took me a long time to find my last hair dresser so I didn’t have high hopes for today’s hair cut .. but low and behold I’m fairly happy with my hair cut. Of course, I’ll have to see how things go when I style my hair myself, but I think this cut might be better than my old hair dressers cut.

When we got to the salon we had to wait for about 15 minutes. I spent some time looking through magazines and amusing myself with a how to lose belly fat fast pamphlet that someone must have left behind.

My husband got his hair cut my a different hair dresser and he was happy with his hair cut too.

I think our neighbors think it’s funny when my husband and I get out of the car with brand new hair cuts. Maybe it is funny that we get our hair cut at the same time, but hey, it’s convenient for us to do it at the same time.

Anyway, I’m happy that my hair is short again and easy to style. It really needed that cut!

A great girls only weekend

by The Diva



I had my girls day and night out last weekend. We had so much fun!


We started out by getting facials at a downtown spa. Man that was nice! Then we went out shopping in the fashion district.

I wasn’t planning on buying anything, but I came home with three bags! I bought a nice blouse, a dress and some lingerie. Oh la la!

Once we’d spent all we could spend shopping we went to one of my favorite french restaurants. Delicious!

By the time we’d finished dinner it was getting late and I think we were all tipsy. We thought about hitting a dance club but in the end we couldn’t decide where to go and nixed the idea.

All in all it was a really great time!

Do you ever go out just with your girlfriends? When’s the last time you did it?

Even boys care about their skin

by The Diva

A while back I wrote about how my nephew has been having a lot of trouble with acne.

He’s a teenager and he plays hockey … maybe every day. He has NHL dreams and he’s good enough that they might just come true. However all that sweating doesn’t seem to be doing his skin any good .. or it wasn’t a few months ago.

Since I’m a nurse he decided to ask me about what he could do to clear up his skin and I gave him some advice and suggested an acne treatment. He started following some of my suggestions and I’m pleased to say that his skin has really cleared up.

He still has a little bit of acne, but nothing like he used to have. He’s such a handsome boy. I’m so glad that I was able to help him. He’s also more confident now – or seems to be – now that his skin looks better. I think his acne was really getting him down and making him self conscious.

Fair skin and sunny days

by The Diva

I was just saying on my other blog that I have a real problem with freckles in the summer. My skin is fair and when the sun starts to get stronger in late spring I suddenly find myself covered in freckles.

I never used to freckle … nope I’d just burn to a crisp, even if I was wearing sunscreen … but lately I don’t seem to burn, I just freckle and then freckle some more. LOL

Anyway I was just reading a prevera review and I discovered that not only might this cream help me prevent wrinkles but it might help with my freckle situation too. I’ll have to look into it a little more to find out if it really works but it looks promising.

Are you fair skinned too? How do you protect your skin and keep it looking great?

Maybe I should buy a parasol?

Gotta take care of your skin

by The Diva

Sometime in March I went on a mission to take better care of my skin. I’d gotten lazy in the past year or so and had pretty much stopped using moisturizer and well .. a few months ago I took a good look at my skin and decided I’d better start using moisturizers again and fast!

Ok it wasn’t that bad … I have fairly nice skin, but if I don’t take care of it, it won’t be nice for long – right?

So I went on a hunt for an anti wrinkle cream that suited my skin type and I’ve been using it regularly for the last three months.

What a difference! My skin looks fresh and well .. dewy. I’m getting a little older so I have a few wrinkle lines in the corner of my eyes – but nothing too bad .. and I think they’re a little less noticeable now.

Do you use moisturizer or anti wrinkle cream regularly? Has your skin benefited from it’s use?
