winter skincare


Just in case you thought I had dropped off the planet...I give you this unedited video of me. The video contains a few winter skincare tips and a few errors.  It really was done in good fun.  I hope you learn something and get a good laugh.

Also, thank you to everyone for their warm holiday wishes.

  3. Janet - Brava! You are a natural in front of the camera. Thanks very much for the tips. I'm going to make some guacamole this weekend. That will be a good way to get more avocado in my diet and if that doesn't work, I'll slather it on my face for a quick mask. Have fun in Utah!

  6. Hi Janet,
    Great post- you're so cutting edge with the video! I was also very cool to get a more realistic feeling for you- you speak softer than I expected. I'm also impressed that you continue to blog from a mountain top.

  15. Happy Holidays Janet!
    This is such a cute idea!! I love it.
    I am totally down with the avocado and olive oil- I can happily do both those things, and I will, as I just arrived in Sun Valley today and already my face feels like it is going to fall off.
    Have a wonderful time with your husband in Utah (land of the smallest martinis EVER)

It's almost a year since we found each other's blogs and started emailing and as soon as I am able to I am definitely actioning a trip to the USA to meet you. You look so young.

  34. Great job and thanks for the advice...although it only snows on the tops of the Volcanoes here in Hawaii, our skin does get dry when the hurricane winds come during the winter, so thank you for the advice!

  35. Hello! I am your newest follower and have been going over your older posts and relishing every minute... honestly I haven't been able to tear myself away! Your style is fabulous and I have a vegan son, he is a great cook and so when he comes home to visit he does his own cooking but he has inspired myself and my 12 year old daughter to become vegetarians, one step at a time I think! So I look forward to more recipes, have read your posts on no shopping and because of the new year I am inspired to clean house and get rid of the excess... thanks for the inspiration, all of it! Theresa xoxo

  36. annie - thank you. you are too funny.

    desiree - yay, another esthetician. maybe we can swap stories.

    ali - not knowing your skin type would be hard but if your skin is dry any rich cream will work. i work for aveda so i am partial to their products. i cannot live w/o my aveda green science moisturizer.

    teri - thanks and i'll call when i get home. love you too.

    mary grace - thanks, i'll try too.

    connie lou - thanks. i know you are lucky in your tropical paradise.

    theresa - thank you and you are very welcome. once i'm home i'll be posting more recipes again.

  42. I am really enjoying your new role as a film star Janet, excellent, you are so cute on camera, are you sure you are not Selma B?? Please could you add chocolate to your skincare tips - either eaten or smeared on face? No, oh well, worth a try I thought. What about chips? Lard? Cake? xx
