<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The New Year came in with a bang, and I spent it at home quietly listening to the fireworks and the crowds screaming! It's amazing, I live about 7 miles from the strip and I could hear all the hundreds of thousands of people collectively screaming at midnight! I might not have been there, but I could feel the energy and excitement.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I'm sure all of us has New Year's resolutions, right? Well, since this is a special year for me (going toward my 50th year of life) I have decided to enter a bodybuilding competition...amateur masters division I think it's either 35+ or 45+. I want to have lean, super tone muscle, so I will compete in the bikini division! I'm excited, the competition is in April, I'm about 16 weeks out. I started training on Thursday. Wish me luck! I will monitor my progress :) </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Till next time! XO</span><br />

I was so flattered by all of the sweet and very kind comments! Then, I realized....it was my daughter that inspired me. </span><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> It's funny, really....all of your childrens' lives you're in control, and the teacher....then you wake up and realize that your children have turned into adults and they have a thing or two to teach you. It's humbling, but it also makes you proud as a parent. I wonder what those two grand babies of mine will be teaching me!! To me, like my own children, they will always be my babies.....I am truly blessed!!! </span></div>Rosehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10429314142222935191noreply@blogger.com8tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6376741406039192558.post-27252117432741349252011-12-16T08:34:00.000-08:002011-12-16T08:34:48.175-08:00First BlogHi!This my first post on my blog and this is so silly....I'm nervous, I feel like I should have some training wheels on or something! Ok, breathe in....here we go :)<br />
<br />
Usually, I don't go to bed this late...but,no matter what, I do this every night before I go to bed and that is take off my make up. Plain and simple...it keeps your skin healthy. When we talk about aging gracefully, we gotta do this. When I was younger I just used Cetaphil cleanser and Cetaphil cream, (it used to be so simple!)But now I incorporate a retinoid and a skin lightener. The retinoid I use is prescribed by my dermatologist, it's called Adapalene cream 0.1% the skin lightener is from my derm as well, it has Hydroquinone 8% in it. I'll talk about that more in another blog... There are several good retinoids OTC, so don't think you have to go to the derm!! The reason I use the skin lightener is because as we age, our skin changes (obviously) and so on this part of my journey, I got hyper pigmentation (lucky me). Now, I gotta warn you...when using these products you really need to use a sunscreen at least a 35, actually, even if you don't use these products, USE SUNSCREEN!!!<br />
<br />
Well, fell asleep in between the start and finish....gonna get a little cardio in before I start my day!! <br />
<br />
Let me know what your thoughts are, what products you use....let's figure some of this out together!! I'm excited...Rosehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10429314142222935191noreply@blogger.com6
