I’ve been reading Nora Ephron’s book I Feel Bad About My Neck and laughing myself silly.  The book bemoans the problems of aging and what we do as women to slow down the process.

I’m willing to admit I own probably ten different types of creams and lotions that I purchased for specific body parts.  I buy a special face cream, then another for my elbows and still another for my feet.  My favorite is body butter, of which I have no less then five flavors.  Yes, flavors, although I wouldn’t dream of spreading a single one on my morning toast. 

Nora states the amount of money she spends on hair, nails, and skin products is ridiculous.  She’s not alone in that department.  The truth is, and it’s shocking to report this, each one of us is about eight hours away from resembling a homeless woman on the street unless we keep up with our moisturizing routines!
