Gossip Girl

I just can’t wait to watch “Gossip Girl” tonight on Orange Park direct TV.

I had stopped watching the show last season, but last Monday, I caught the episode where Blaire was a run-a-way bride. Being a run-a-way bride didn’t last long because her husband’s family ended up tracking her down and she was required to stay with him for at least a year or else her family would have to pay their end of the dowry. I know, dowry sounds ridiculous, but she was marrying a fictional royal.

I actually read that Grace Kelley had a one million dollar dowry that when she married Prince Ranier, that is kid of crazy to think of, she got married in the 1960’s, really not that long ago.

Anyway, I had forgotten how much I loved the drama of “Gossip Girl”. I had also forgotten how much that I loved the clothes on “Gossip Girl” and the dynamics of all of the characters. I called my Mom and told her to start watching it again. I really can’t wait until tonight! The suspense is killing me!

Skin Care Through the Centuries

Beauty has been a concern of everyone in all ages - and with ages, I meant from the early 1500 BC. During those times, people used sandpaper for microderm abrasion to exfoliate skin and smooth scars.

Much had happened from that time to now as can be seen in the infographic below. From oil, milk and even lead, people turned to them for skin care.


Funny how skin care progressed and developed through all those centuries, right? Today people get anti-aging light therapy and other technologically advanced stuff that people probably can't even imagine centuries ago.

Can you imagine what technology will be used in skin care a century from now? For sure, it will be out of this world (compared to our current technology).
