like big lips, and I cannot lie. Every fashionista magazine these days seems to idealize the Joliesk lip. Even the ladies of The Talk posted a recreated “most beautiful” woman last week featuring various body parts to create a combined “perfect woman.” Admittedly, she looked weird and contrived...more alien than real! My momma’s and I spend a lot of time together discussing the benefits and the possible malfunctions of such procedures. Many of us have had good outcomes from Botox, and it seems with every year, there’s a new “something something” that can fix this or fill that! I have several friends in the biz and have had a few things done. Ya’ll know I do not like to sit still so it’s crazy to have me do a procedure that lasts much longer than an hour, and as for down time... girls, I do not patient well! I usually opt for the “I do not care that you know I am trying to look younger attitude” while sporting a bruised face or a peeling forehead in my daily excursions in Sugar Land. Why lie about it? I say promote the people who make you look younger and everybody wins! Most recently I met with Dr. Nina Desai, my primary caregiver, for lunch (she’s also one of my momma’s) to discuss her latest endeavors. Like me continually growing and expanding my brand, she has begun to expand hers as a practice that will include in her repertoire of services a few skincare and other treatments. I helped her with her marketing and promotions and in naming her new place RENEW “The science of great skin!” The name really works well for exactly all of the things she is promoting and incorporating into her business.
