The Science of Beauty: Why We Can’t Help But Judge a Face
Beauty. We’ve all heard the saying: “Beauty is skin-deep.” But let’s be honest, no matter how much we claim to value personality over appearance, our brains are wired to notice looks first. From the moment we meet someone, we subconsciously categorize them as good-looking, average, or unattractive. It’s an unavoidable truth of human nature.

The History of Skincare: From Ancient Milk Baths to Modern Serums
We often think of skincare as a modern obsession—a world of 10-step routines, laboratory-tested serums, and high-tech sunscreens. However, the quest for glowing, healthy skin is as old as civilization itself.

A Beauty Salon Isn’t Just a Place — It’s a Pause in the Day
I used to think of a beauty salon as a place you went only when something was wrong. A bad haircut that needed fixing. Nails that had grown out too long. Skin that looked tired after weeks of neglect. It was a practical stop, not an emotional one. You went in, got the service, paid, and left.

I opted for holistic Botox substitutes and discovered a natural way to slow down my skin.
I opted for holistic Botox substitutes and discovered a natural way to slow down my skin. I never imagined that I would take Botox seriously. It was dread, not condemnation. I didn't feel comfortable with needles, frozen faces, or having to go through the same procedure every few months. However, as I grew older, little facial changes started to concern me more than I had anticipated. Even on good days, my skin looks exhausted and fine wrinkles emerged where laughing formerly resided.

My Long and Short Hair Care
I’ve always had long hair. Until 52, that is, when I got tired of it and cut it, first in half to my waist and then even shorter, above the shoulder line. I'm 55 now and still enjoy it short although sometimes I look at my old pictures with long hair and sigh deeply.

His Freckle Too, Stayed Until Morning
I did not notice it before. That small freckle just beneath his left eye, the one the light always seems to find before I do. How many times have I seen his face and never really seen it? The mark itself is nothing special, really, a speck, a shadow of pigment the sun decided to keep for itself, yet tonight it feels like a secret I have finally been allowed to see.
