Snake Venom & Placenta Cream – Put it where? On your FACE of course!


So this isn’t a typical blog post for me, but since we are talking about beauty, I want to address all facets of the industry, including the affect it has on our self-esteem as women.

“She’s gorgeous!” ….”No, she’s insecure” This is the conversation my fiancé and I had last week after watching Good Morning America.  Apparently the newest thing in Hollywood is to have snake venom (or a concoction that mimics the effects of) slathered all over your face to freeze the wrinkles in your face. Or how about this one – placenta cream frozen from birthing mothers in Russia brought over to the US for usage on celebrities as a face mask (and oh ya, the cost you ask? $500 and up). Umm, WTF?  I think it’s ridiculous that women would go to such lengths to try and look young. It’s interesting though, men interpret this as women having low self-esteem as to buy into these new techniques.  What are your thoughts and how far would you go to look young?
