Someone recently told me about a fabulous trip they took to Aruba. She said that the only reason they came back from her vacation was because she had kids. She described the beautiful beaches, the welcomed cross breeze on a hot day, the friendly atmosphere, the clean environment and the delicious meals she ate at an all inclusive resort…
I felt that sense of peace and tranquility as I listened to her share her experience…I bought into the idea that I should go to Aruba so that I could feel that way too…. I could see myself on the beach, not a care in the world. Total Euphoria kicked in and I felt the desire and NEED to go there. I was emotionally attached to taking a trip to Aruba..
After all I work hard and deserve a vacation….
Now she wasn’t trying to sell me on the idea of going to Aruba, But I was drawn in by her story regardless. She unintentionally sold me on the idea..

I went to my 30th class reunion and although it was great to see my classmate, I struggled to quickly recognize many of them because of the years that had gone by and the toll life had taken on them.
Dark circles under the eyes, crow’s feet, deep laugh lines and dull skin was apparent even with women wearing makeup in the efforts to camouflage their aging skin.. I felt great that my class mates remembered me instantly and said that I haven’t changed.
I give credit to the fact that I had been company XYZ’s face cream and eye cream faithfully which had erased the wrinkles and dark circles from my face and gave me a healthy glow. It literally has taken years off of my appearance after using it for 6 only months.
