So, remember when I said I am never afraid to embarrass myself? Well, I am certainly going to hold true to that with parts of this post. Everyone has a few *top secret* beauty tricks that might be considered a little strange and even somewhat freaky at times. I am no exception – this one actually works for me though so I just had to share for the mere fact that I am HOPING that I am not the only one that does this.
What are you most afraid of as far as the aging process goes? I want to avoid two things and if this can be done I will consider myself a success. Anything outside of these two things I can handle and in fact, I welcome aging because it simply means that we are still alive and hopefully living a fabulous, long life! Here goes…
#1. The dreaded “vajayjay” neck…you know the kind. I fully understand that aging is a wonderful and natural process but I CANNOT allow myself to have a wrinkly, thin-skinned neck that looks like…well…a vajayjay. The firming lotion process has already begun.
#2. I also want to avoid having lip wrinkles or lines or whatever they are called! I think lips/mouths/teeth of all kinds are really what make someone look youthful. I have a secret for this that I will now share under one condition – if you or anyone you know does this, please speak up because otherwise I will feel like the biggest freak alive.
OK…I brush my lips with a soft-bristle toothbrush and Vaseline!!!! (ahhhh…I am ashamed). It is not, I repeat, is NOT the same toothbrush I use to brush my teeth. I have a special one just for this purpose. I don’t even know what started all of this, it just happened. It makes your lips so smooth and really moisturizes them. It also kind of acts like a natural plumper. Damn…am I weird or what??
Anyway, I am soooooo happy it is Friday! Work has been wild this week and I can’t wait to go out for Mexican food tonight with Drew P and the fam. There will definitely be some good eats happening and maybe even a few of these…
Oh and one more thing before I go. I am ALWAYS buying candles and I have recently fallen in love with Tyler Candles. They are sold in little gift shops and boutiques but they have a website, too. You should check them out ASAP!
Ya'll have a wonderful evening! XOXO

I brush my lips with a toothbrush when I need to exfoliate them. I've done it and then put on vaseline afterwards - you're not a freak! :)
The toothbrush with vaseline trick sounds good to me! I will have to try that:) I love tyler candles too! They smell so yummy!
Fun post! I think the toothbrush and Vaseline is a great idea. It probably moisturizes and exfoliates. I think I'm going to have to try this. I also need to start working on the neck thing.
Have a great night out!
I brush my lips too!!!!
I totally brush my lips when they get dry! They are so soft afterwards! I've never done so with Vaseline though.
I slather on the Vaseline every night! I live in CO and it's super dry here and if I don't do that my lips get all yucky. I also use Bigelow stuff from Bath and Body works, like a lip exfoliator...
You're not alone!!!
Hmmmmmmmm, makes me want to try brushing my lips!
Good tips Ashley! I love Tyler candles. They rock! :)
I knew that a wet toothbrush would help exfoliate but never thought of using vaseline at the same time! I'll have to do that!! Thanks girl!
You're cracking me up!! But I think I'm gonna have to try that vaseline thing:)
girl! you wont even believe me! my doctor actually told me about the vaseline thing!! i'm a freak with you then! lol. and i will have to check out this tyler's candels. i'm obsessed.
I use mary kay lip stuff - the 'mask' and then the gloss... never thought to brush my lips... :)
