Hooray for Hollywood!

Hollywood arrived in my little town of West Chester, Pennsylvania last night in the forms of Jennifer Aniston and Owen Wilson!! No lie. They were here filming scenes for the upcoming movie "Marley & Me." Though I did not take the pictures you see here (they are amateur photos, just not mine - my camera died on me, plus, it was dark and we were warned against using flashes, so the few pics I did take did not come out), I did see both Jen and Owen. Owen walked right past me on the sidewalk on the way back to his trailer, and Jen I really only got a few glimpses of. She's very tiny - not short, just very slender. I was hoping to actually get to talk to her for at least a second to as

k her what beauty item she Can't Live Without, but, alas, no such luck. nevertheless, it was an interesting way to end my birthday (they filmed till sometime after midnight - I left at 12:30am - I have a 2 year-old who doesn't know the meaning of "sleeping in").

Thanks for stopping into comment on Momformation. I've already explained to Jenny that James McAvoy is fair game. We all have great taste, I would say.

Jennifer - I was so excited to see her! I asked my sister if it was strange that as a heterosexual female that I wanted to see Jen more than I wanted to see Owen Wilson!!! She assured me it was not.

Get Yourself Screened!!

Yeah, I don't have skin cancer! I had my annual full-body check today with the dermatologist, and I had a few spots I was concerned with, but the dr. gave me a clean bill of health. Whew. But I am one of the lucky ones. I read so many articles these days about skin cancer, and since I had so many sunburns as a young girl, I'm nervous about something developing. Read these facts from Olay , who has teamed up with the American Society for Dermatologic Surgery to sponsor free screenings across the country: Did you know... One person dies every hour from skin cancer. One in five Americans will develop skin cancer. Skin cancer in women under 40 has tripled in the past 30 years. Five sunburns double a woman's chance of getting skin cancer. UV exposure at tanning salons is just as risky as sunbathing outside. People with fair skin that burns rather than tans, people with red hair and people with blue eyes are at greater risk of developing skin cancer. People who have many (extens

A Little Extra Protection is A Good Thing

For my recent shore vacation (the "shore" is what we southeast Pennsylvanians and southern New Jerseyans call the "beach") I purchased St. Ives Elements Protective Cleanser with SPF 10. This is a facial cleanser that, when you wash the cleanser off your face, is supposed to leave behind a layer of SPF 10 protection. Pretty cool, huh? Now, some people say this will help them skip a pesky extra step in their morning skincare routine by eliminating the application of SPF. I understand how one could feel this way, but c'mon ladies. SPF 10? From a cleanser you just washed off your face? I mean, really, how much protection can that really give you? Now, I'm not denying that the product does what it says, but we should all know by now that you need a lot higher SPF protection on your delicate face than a 10.My dermatologist said nothing less than 30 would do, and she herself wore, like, 75 (and she was probably late 40's/early 50's and her skin was porcelai

Vaseline Cocoa Butter Vitalizing Gel Body Oil

So which is it - a gel or body oil? Well, it is both, and I like it! I found this today when I stopped at Wal-Mart to find some replacement cushions for my patio furniture, and immediately had to have it (sadly, I did not get any cushions). It says "new" on the bottle, but looks like maybe it came out some time last year, based on customer reviews at Amazon, however, it's new to me! I thought it had to be brand new because it just seems like summer-in-a-bottle. It has that rich, earthy smell of cocoa butter products, but I also think I caught a very slight whiff of a pretty floral note, like lilacs, which I love, and at the same time, it smells like yummy buttercream frosting! The key ingredients include Brazilian Nut Oil (supposed to be a great moisture barrier, keeping your skin hydrated, and possesses antioxidant properties) and Sweet Almond Oil (gives your skin a pretty glow and restores moisture). To be honest, I don't see cocoa butter listed in the ingredients
