Lancome Visionnaire- Pretty Fantastic. Alternative to Cosmetic Procedure? Hmmm.


I will admit, I don't have a lot of wrinkles at this point in my life (knock on wood, pound on wood more like). However, I am starting to notice my skin is a little more dull and prone to marks that look like freckles. There are also these strange faint hints of laugh lines after I have stopped smiling. Well, what are you going to do after you pass 30? Rage against the war of aging with all you have, that's what.

Lancome boasts, "Our 1st advanced skin corrector. Wrinkles, pores and evenness." That's a bold statement so I decided to give it a try. I immediately noticed my pores were indeed smaller and tighter after the first application. Over the last 3 weeks, I have also noticed that my detestable laugh lines are a bit more faint and smoother. My spots? Well actually I think I noticed more of a difference when I was using Caudale's Vinoperfect Serum.





However, considering the little time that I have been using Visionnaire it has been pretty impressive thus far. Perhaps with a little more time Visionnaire can deliver on it's promise of evening out my skin tone.



Be warned this product is impressive with an equally impressive if not a big daunting in it's price- $84.  But you know, it's still cheaper than a chemical peal so maybe try this first.

I need to find a cheap plan ticket ASAP, thanks Elizabeth Eaves


So as I was reading "Wanderlust," I was raving on and on about it on my Twitter and Facebook page. I really admire Elisabeth Eaves fearlessness in her approach to traveling and taking on new adventures, new relationships and her openness to the reader about all of feelings along the way. She never at any point tries to rationalize her actions, she just seems to try to understand them. There were many times as I was reading her lifelong pursuit of the more obscure adventure or those guys that you should probably avoid, when I thought "Why would you do that?" But at the same time, more often than not I would reconsider and think, "Oh wait I have done something ridiculous and nonsensical like that before." You may not agree with all of her choices but you also have to recognize that she has a fascinating book full of stories to tell as a result.

As a result, I have been debating over a trip to Europe or South America next year at a reasonable price and non-scary accommodations. I appreciate Elizabeth Eaves fearlessness but I have to be real- I can't "rough" it like she can.
