Introduction

Hello everyone! My name is Elisa and I am starting this blog in hopes that I can answer some questions and stop people from getting swindled by sales or making the wrong decision on a product or service. I have always been an insecure person like a lot of women out there whether they admit it or not. Even before I had my daughter I was embarrassed to wear a 2 piece swim suit because of all the stares, if I only knew then that I wouldn't get to appreciate that again without those pesky stretchmarks. Boy did she do a number on me! As I age there are new things to add to the list age spots, droopy eyelids, puffy under eyes, laugh lines, cellulite. Most people would say I'm crazy at the mere age of 31, and they're probably right. However I fall victim to our society's pressures and notice all the little changes I was too naive to appreciate when I was younger.

I believe that we live in a society were there are expectations, stereotypes, and biased decisions because of this. Men expect us to be the exact version of what the media portrays as beautiful, tall, slim, long hair, great skin, great smile, oh and let's not forget huge boobs. The women who do fit this category get isolated by the ones that don't and it's really a no win situation. If an attractive woman gets a job/raise/promotion/bonus it's always because she's pretty. If an average woman doesn't it's because of that or if she does it's because she's smarter than the attractive one. There are so many spins on this, but let's not get distracted by the norms of society.

On my quest to perfection I have tried hundreds of products, techniques, and procedures. I have spend thousands of hours on the Internet researching results, reviews, comments, comparisons, before I made my decisions. I am not an expert, simply on the same path as most women, with a slight OCD for information. I apply this to all the categories in my life, whether I'm picking a school, looking for a lawyer, in need of a mechanic, etc. But on this blog we will talk about beauty based on my experiences.

There are a few things that I have already battled successfully and won't touch on too much unless there is a lot of interest. Those things include breast aug, healthy extensions for your hair, and weight loss. I might change my mind later, but again that all depends on feedback. Currently I am on the ever lasting search for an answer to stretch marks, hyperpigmentation on face, droppy eyelids, and preserving youth. I will post before and after pictures, information on treatments I have tried, how many sessions, cost, and my opinion on the result. I look forward to your responses and please no mean comments, I have to deal with that in real life and that's more than enough.


With Love,

Elisa
