As I’ve gotten older, I’ve found a few things that I’ve to know as my ‘saving grace.’ We all have them, items or things that we do that we couldn’t imagine having to live, and don’t want to, honestly, live without. As I got older, my hormones changed. My hair changed, the color, the texture, even the thickness. Then there was a bout with adult acne. My glasses got thicker, and I’m embarrassed to say, that my middle did, too.
But with those changes, came those things I referred to earlier, as my saving grace. Want to meet them?
Here are my miracle workers:
1. Spanx!
Wonderful shapewear to smooth and slim your shape. I don’t leave home without them.
2. Esthetician Services
Bi-monthly Chemical peels or microdermbrasion by licensed esthetician.
3. Facial Yoga Exercises
Exercising your face muscles tightens and tones thus combats the signs of aging.
4. Retin A
Initially I used to treat adult acne but learned the benefits of Retin A; helps the skin renew itself and reduces the appearance of wrinkles. There are over-the-counter products as well as prescription products as directed by your medical professional.
5. Heart Healthy Diet
Controlling your portion size, lots of fruits and vegetables, whole grains, limit unhealthy fats (saturated and trans fats), and cholesterol, low-protein sources (lean meat, poultry, low-fat dairy products), reduce sodium in your diet, plan menus and allow yourself an occasional treat.

What products do you consider you “saving grace?”
My saving grace products are my acne medications, lemons and Apple Cider Vinegar–It’s keeps me regular, LOL. I would also say that getting enough sleep, eating better and having access to good razors (I’m hairy, don’t judge) make all the difference.
Cute cape!
Thank you for sharing your “saving grace” products. I am a fan of apple cider vinegar as well.
Thanks for the compliment on the cape, it’s a few years old; I like that capes add a something amount of sophication to any outfit.
