When I was younger, I loved drinking an ice cold beer from time to time.  In the South, beer is almost as popular as iced tea and quite frankly, I just wasn't exposed to wine much.  As I got older, I became more and more curious about wine and with the help of a few knowledgeable friends, I quickly began to see what all the fuss was about.

Losing weight used to be the numero uno New Year's resolution, but the ugly economy has shoved this lofty goal down to second place on 2013 lists.  A survey commissioned by Fidelity Investments found 46 percent of respondents said their highest priority was to save more money.

Eating right and exercising are straightforward, however, in comparison to paying off debts and socking away rainy-day cash. Of late, it feels like slipping on a Walmart sidewalk is the only feasible retirement plan; yet the top long-term goal cited in the survey was to make retirement a financial reality.

Just because the candles seem to be rapidly accumulating on my birthday cake, doesn't mean I want those years showing up on my face too.  I'm constantly on the lookout for top-notch skin care products that truly work, for I believe in a daily regimen that not only corrects and restores, but also prevents the tell-tale signs of aging.

AquaVie is a skin care line which derives its nourishing goodness from the French Brittany coasts.  Their anti-aging product line revitalizes skin with natural oils while regenerating and mineralizing skin cells. The result is a fresh moisturized face conditioned to reduce the formation of free radicals.  This process then goes one step further to help repair the elastic fibers of the skin.
