This has been due, in part,  to technical problems in early summer, when I was without my laptop for a while.  I then went on holiday to sunny Florida and had the school holidays to keep me busy!  Recently I have been occupied with working on a new project – my brand new Mamma Kerr blog.

Mamma Kerr – www.mammakerr.com – is a mommy blog, where I will write about many different topics, including parenting, health, home & garden and beauty.  I will be reviewing products and services, providing useful hints and tips, as well as having a general rant about topical news items and pet peeves.

I will continue to update this Beauty Spot blog, which now feeds into my main Mamma Kerr blog.  Therefore, you can continue to follow me here or you can subscribe to Mamma Kerr and get regular updates on all topics.

The official launch is of my new blog is Monday 28th September, and I will be holding competitions every week for the first month.

Please visit Mamma Kerr blog for more information this weekend.

What are your goals for 2009?

One of my main business goals this year is to blog more frequently.  Last year I started quite a few blogs with the best of intentions, but I’m afraid to say that I did not manage to keep them as up-to-date as I would have liked.  What with corporate job stresses, illness and family commitments, I was unable to find my ‘blogging groove’.  This year will be different.  I know that I need to plan and to focus, but I fully intend to get into my ‘blogging groove’ and update my blog portfolio on a very regular basis.

The advantages of achieving my blog goals include:

• I will create more content on my sites to help SEO.
• It will improve my communication with readers (old & new).
• It will create more opportunities for comments and feedback from readers.
• It will help to build relationships with readers & customers.
• It will develop my writing skills.
• I will create potential content for articles and eBooks.

Please, please feel free to contact me if you feel that I am not updating this blog as often as you think I should!!

Thanks for reading and come back real soon!!…

Did I mention it’s FREE?

Good luck!

Whatever you age, you need to get to know your skin.  You need to know exactly what your skin requires.  This is the very essence of achieving healthy skin. 

If you are in your teens and twenties, it is likely that your skin may need:

• Age Prevention – now is the time to act to ensure you retain as much of your youthful glow as possible as you head towards your thirties.
• Shine Control – If your skin is oily and you are still prone to spots, you must take control of the shine.
• Vitality - Living life to the full can take its toll on your skin, and so you will need to re-energise your dull complexion.

If you are in your thirties or forties, it is likely that the first signs of ageing will become evident.  Women in this age group tend to live stressful, hectic lifestyles, and this can really take its toll on your skin.  Your skin may need:

• Exfoliation – You need to get rid of all the dull, dead skin cells and reveal a more youthful glow.
• Radiance - De-stressing your skin will help restore what your busy stressful life has taken out of it.
• Hydration – Good hydration will help prevent wrinkles and retain your skin’s elasticity.
• Soothing - Unsettled skin can age you prematurely.

In your fifties and beyond, you need to put back some of what life has taken out.  In this age group, your skin will likely need:

• Replenishment – You need to preserve and replenish elasticity to your complexion.
• Nourishment – By giving your skin the precious moisture and nourishment it requires, you can address those life lines of expression and take control of your skin’s ageing.
• Firming - You need to preserve and replenish firmness and structure to your complexion.
• Soothing – Soothe and calm your skin from the effects of hormonal change and imbalance.

If you want to have beautiful skin throughout your life, then it’s essential that you take good care of it.  By practising a regular 3-step cleanse, tone and moisturise routine, you can help reverse the signs of ageing and achieve  a clear, refined and glowing complexion.

In my next post I will teach you how to cleanse your skin, whatever your age and skin type.
