“Wow, you have amazing skin,” the finance fellow said as we shook hands.
“Uh, thank you.” My mind was on dotting i’s and crossing t’s. I was buying a used car and had a stack of paperwork sitting before me.

This blog is born from several kind inquiries from men and women, models, stylists, art directors, Instagram followers, new acquaintances and friends who have, over the years, asked me about my skin. Such a funny word, it comes from Old Norse, skinn, related to Dutch, schinden (peel). It’s an important thing. The largest organ in our bodies, it comes in many textures and colors. It is vital and personal and can bring us great joy, and well, some concerns. I am here to share what I have learned in the hope it will help others on the journey to love and care for their skin.
Directly related to overall health and beauty, the subject of skin is impossible for me to talk about without including many facets of outer and inner self-care.
I am not an esthetician, nor a dermatologist. I am a model, mother and grandmother who has been a health-enthusiast for a very long time. Now in my sixties, I am simply happy to offer what my experience has taught me and share which practices and products work for me in the search for healthy vibrant beauty.
