Thanks for the tip, Colleen! I've never heard of the stuff, but I'm game (and suspect that as the years go by, I'll continue to be so!) :)
I've got some of that somewhere. It didn't work for the particular thing I was using it on, so I put it away. I'll have to find it and put it on my spots, too!
Oh drag it out again, Kay! I love what it's doing.
Cup of coffee and a power sander.
You're putting bird oil on your neck? Vanity has a price, I guess, but EWWW!!
My new favorite is TerraGloss, it's lip gloss with all natural ingredients, the main one is castor oil, but it doesn't smell like it.
Then, Jane Iredale mineral foundation. There is nothing better!
Colleen,
At least you have a neck. I look like a head plopped down on a linebacker's shoulders. Seriously, the neck thing is definitely hereditary. I have an ancestor who was known as "No-Neck" Maynard. And the shoulders? They wouldn't let me be born for the longest time, then a nurse who apparently didn't notice the pink name tag called me "Mommy's Little Football Player." Why my mom likes to tell me this, I don't know. She says the little T-shirts they put on newborns wouldn't fit me.
As for beauty secrets, I got a sample of an antioxidant moisturizer from Clinique a few weeks ago. I have cranky skin, and this stuff made such a difference I went ahead and bought a tube today. For me, $40 seemed like a lot of money when my bag still felt like it was empty.
Protex soap and water. Nivea hand cream if I remember it.
Steve Irwin, Russell Crowe, Cate Blanchett and Eric Bana are not the only good things to come out of Australia, you know!!!!
Rel, that was one of the things I loved about the Emu oil! LOL
Kris, can a person with dry skin wear that mineral makeup? At Ulta when I was going to try another brand, the sales gal said it's not the best for mature skin. Sigh.
Melanie, I laughed out loud when I read your post. Isn't it the truth that we always hate something about ourselves?
Allen, you should like my husband. LOL
I haven't heard of Protex, Pam. I'll have to check it out!
Nah, Colleen. Don't bother. It's just deoderant/anti-bacteria soap. I only use it because I'm in my mid-50's and still have acne. It keeps the germs down.
It doesn't even have a nice smell. Best stick with the emu-stuff.

Beauty secrets? Coffee and chocolate. Put together in a mocha and you have a daily dose in one cup. Nothing better.
By the way, Colleen, have you ever met an emu. Loud and dirty critters. They do have awfully long necks, though they're a bit fuzzy.
Oh, and the ones I've met are mean. Still couldn't make myself to eat an emu burger when covering "farm and city" day early in my reporting days.
I'll relieve you rmind, Colleen. I never laid in the sun as a teenager or any other ager. I was too ADHD - before they knew what it was - to lay in the sun. And I still ogt those rasty age spots, mostly on my hands, but they're there.
The other icky thing is the blood vessles that break when you aren't looking. My dad had those and now, suddenly I'm turning into my dad!
Whaaaaaaaaaa!
I wonder if that's the spray on makeup they use on What Not to Wear?
Thank's for the tip Colleen. I ordered some for my Mom. She is always looking for something that will help her with the dark spots she has. As for Beauty secrets. I would say mine is. lot's of Sleep and a smile!
Hi Colleen,
I was so happy to read your post... This is my all time favorite product. I am holistic esthetician and I have used and recommended this brand for years, glad it's getting the recognition it deserves!
Jennifer
Glad to hear that, Jennifer! I'm pretty holistic myself so that really appealed to me!
Don't worry about having an Adams apple. I have one too, a big one and I'm not ashamed. Course, I'm 6'4" 200 lbs and a guy but this is 2008, and dammit, if a woman can be president then a woman can have a pineapple neck with an Adams apple. "We can't all be swans"
