holistic beauty!!

Hi there....this is my very first attempt at blogging, so please bear with me. My beautiful daughter is my inspiration for this, and I must say that I'm pretty excited (and just a little nervous) about it.
I guess I should start with a little background and info about myself just to get going, and then we can start diving into the good stuff, ie... holistic health and beauty, yay!
I'm a native Californian and was raised in the era of "the healthy tanned look" Well, as we all know now, uh, not so healthy after all. I lived on Kauai for a few years after I graduated from high school and needless to say, did my share of trying to tan my fair, freckly skin. The good news is, I almost always wore a hat and put sunscreen on my face! Not because I was wise or because I knew any better, but simply because I hated all the freckles that the sun would sprinkle on my face. And sooooo, 52 years, 3 children and 2 grand babies later... here I am, blogging about the effects that good, holistic nutrition and skin care has had on my skin and my health. I'm trying to hold on fast to the idea of getting through my life without injecting my face with botox and fillers. (I'm not going to promise anything yet) But, so far so good! I'm hoping that my endless years of research and experimenting can be passed on to you, your children and your grandchildren as well. TaaDaa!
