What Makes You Feel Old?
Even though we're not that "old", you have to admit there are things we do and see that make us feel ancient. What makes you feel old?

Have You Checked Your Breasts Today?
Tomorrow I’m having a biopsy on my left breast and I’m absolutely petrified. Not so much from the procedure itself (although I cringe when I think about that loooong needle they are going to insert) but from what the results may reveal. You see I have a dense lump on my left breast that has remained the same size and shape for the last 2 years but during my recent follow-up mammogram (which I have been diligently getting every 6 months), the results indicated that the lump grew in size. Darn! Having any sort of medical condition seems a lot more stressful nowadays with the wealth of information available at…

***Neutrogena Goodie Bag Giveaway***
Last month I attended the Weallgrow Latina Influencer conference and Neutrogena was one of the main sponsors. They pampered me nonstop and made me feel like a true goddess. I learned a lot about their skincare products and some very useful, professional makeup tips. As we age, our skin needs more attention than ever and you need to moisturize like it’s your job. Neutrogena products help replenish lost nutrients and increase moisture. I have been using their skincare products (and makeup) every day and I have never felt better. Now I want to pass on some of these goodies to you to help bring out your inner #rockingover40 goddess. Neutrogena has offered “goodie…
