When a person thinks of collagen, the first things that may come to mind are collagen injections. The debate continues on that topic as do those regarding adding collagen to the diet. Collagen is a natural substance that is important to the human body. One-third of the protein in the body is collagen as are three-quarters of the skin. This substance is what keeps the skin from appearing wrinkled.
The phone rang while I was waiting to get my daughter’s birth certificate straightened out. There had been an error when her birth certificate was filed originally at the time of her adoption. We never received a copy of the certificate but needed it to be able to obtain a passport for my daughter to go out of country with us. I was laughing because it was an error on DSS’ part and we were a little perturbed with having to go back to Raleigh for a second time to try fixing the problem. So, while standing in line at the Vital Records office, I look down to see it is a call coming in from DSS. I joked with the employee at the vital records office saying, “They probably have another child for us to take in.”
Day in and day out, your hair and skin take a beating. Most items you buy in the store last for a few years and often come with warranties. If it doesn’t have a warranty, it gets thrown in the trash and replaced with something new when it wears down. Our bodies don’t come with warranties and we can’t just throw it away because it becomes weak and frail. Taking the best care of what we have is vital. Aside from the internal care we need to provide through healthy eating and exercise, our skin and hair need extra loving to make it through years of use!
Women in their 30’s, 40’s, and 50’s tend to begin to realize how important hair care really is. Not that it isn’t a thought before then but during pregnancy and other hormonal changes, most women begin to focus in on hair and skin care. Unfortunately, most of us are working on finding ways to REVERSE damage that has already been done to our hair from improper use. How important is it to care for your daughter’s hair the same way you care for your own?

I dread having to wash and dry my hair… not really the washing and fixing part, mostly just the drying! I have long thick hair, so normally I let my hair air dry. Also, I use so much heat from either my curling iron or straightener that I feel guilty using, even more, heat, I’ll skip using my hair drier and, well, that creates a bad hair day! As you can see, doing my hair has never been something I enjoy doing… that was until I was introduced to Aquis Luxe Hair towels.
