There are 2 kinds of fingernail ridges. It’s easy to tell which one you have.
Our bodies have a natural reservoir of antioxidants that protect and repair skin. But as skin is damaged by things in our environment like sun and pollution, our antioxidant supply is quickly depleted.

Ahhh . . . There’s not much better than a beautiful, sunny day. I used to be a sun worshiper, but that changed when I turned 20 and developed a spot on my arm. It was peeling a LOT and made me nervous. I went to my mom’s doctor who quickly removed it.

I became interested in the Clarisonic after hearing people rave about it. People love it! Turns out this sonic skin cleaning brush is made by the same people who developed the original Sonicare toothbrush. Now if you’re like me, hearing that makes you worry about build quality. My experience with the Philips Sonicare made me skeptical.
Oh, how I love nail polish! When my little girls and I go to Sephora, they apply a different color polish to each finger. It’s VERY colorful!
I especially love how long enamel looks good on my toes. But I noticed my toenails were turning yellow with white spots. They looked awful! All I wanted to do was cover them with more polish. It made me wonder how nail polish affects nails. I did some research and here’s what I found.

My mom grew up in the California desert before sunscreen was even invented. Sadly, you could tell from her skin.
And as a kid I only remember wearing sunscreen ONLY when we went to the pool.
