Deals on Dings

Here is one to add to the books...

Ever driven a car that wasn't your own and dinged it, by accident? An anonymous friend has given us all this advice:

"I called MCL and they told me to call Randy at Colorworks. AMAZING! He repaired the bumper with new paint, looks BRAND NEW for only $160 and he came to MY house! SUCH A DEAL...anyone who scratches the car and doesn't ever want anyone to know (inc. husband/boyfriend) call 604-306-3908."

Thanks for the tip!

Winter Skin

Yes, yes, we all know what this is like; dry, flaky, itchy under our holiday make-up...

I used to have a fantastic dermatologist in Vancouver, Dr. Dantow, and when he retired, I started to panic. Alas, I still haven't found anyone who was the genius skin expert that he was, but I can still order the amazing creams he suggested I use online.

I absolutely swear by the products I use. My skin is incredibly sensitive, so this was a life saver for me. Most of these products are fairly affordable, except for the Face Firming Activator, but one splurge a year, I can do. Various acne breakouts are always a tough one for me, but the list below is great for keeping your skin fresh, moisturized, light and tight.

For staying "young" I use:
ADVANCED FACE FIRMING ACTIVATOR
ALPHA LIPOIC ACID 5%
(PERRICONE)

For my daily sunscreen which is the BEST on the market, I use ELTA MD. I would avoid La Roche sunscreen as many a friend, including myself, have found we breakout from the expensive screen. Sad, but true. This, however, works like a charm, doesn't feel heavy and is sans odour! How great is that??
ELTA MD UV SUNSHIELD 45 SPF

For a light moisturizer, I would go with the following:
ULTRA LIGHT HYDRATING CREAM

I have used the DCL eye cream which is fine, but if anyone has any other suggestions, feel free to share!

Happy skin during the holidays is essential!!
