Come and see Catherine at the Summer Sizzle

On Saturday, May 31st, Catherine will be participating in the Cedar Springs Pharmacy Summer Sizzle at the Cedar Springs Health Racquets and Sports Club, located at 960 Cumberland Ave in Burlington, ON.

Her one-month transformation is almost complete and she is certainly looking younger, fitter and more radiant.

Catherine started running in January of this year, running for only 1 minute and walking for 1 minute, and gradually built herself up. This will be the fourth race she has run since then. She sets an amazing example for us all.

If you would like to participate in the 5k or 8k races tomorrow, you can register between 8 am and 9:30 am at the health club. The races start at 9:30 am.

An excellent sunscreen for runners

One of the products that we gave Catherine was the UV Sport SPF 50 Sunscreen from Elta MD.

There’s nothing worse than trying to work out, and as soon as you work up a sweat, your sunscreen is making your eyes burn. Elta MD’s Sport sunscreen is highly water-resistant, specifically to prevent this problem.

We put it to the test on Catherine and she reports “I was sweating and the Sport sunscreen didn’t bother my eyes.”

Elta MD’s sunscreens are ideal because they are unscented and combine the best physical and chemical sunscreen ingredients to give broad spectrum protection against UVA and UVB rays.

The physical ingredient, zinc oxide, is micronized or finely ground so you don’t have a white residue on your skin.

This summer, you don’t have to choose between being active outdoors with no protection or with burning eyes from a regular sunscreen. Choose Elta MD UV Sport SPF 50.

10 Things You Can Do Today to Look & Feel 10 Years Younger

This list is in no particular order. I suggest you pick the top 3 or 4 things that are most relevant to you so you’ll see the biggest impact in the shortest period of time.

1. Whiten your teeth.
   A whiter, brighter smile takes years off your look.
2. Have a professional makeup lesson.
   Most of us haven’t changed our makeup techniques in 20 years; new techniques will make you look prettier and more contemporary.
3. Have a hairstyle makeover.
   Let a good hairstylist tell you what would suit you and look up-to-date.
4. Get properly-fitting undergarments.
   Over 80% of us are in the wrong size bra. You will be amazed at how much better you will look and feel in the right size. You will look sleeker with the right shapewear as well.
5. Do a physical activity that you love.
   When is the last time you bopped around to your favorite music, went canoeing or played tennis? Doing an activity that you love will make you feel vibrant.
6. Eat more fiber.
   Being constipated makes you feel sluggish. Adding fiber to your diet will make you feel more energetic.
7. Drink more water.
   How many of us live on coffee? Switching to water will make your skin look better, make your head feel clearer and make everything work better in your body.
8. Use a Vitamin C serum.
   Vivier’s Vitamin C serum is one of the few products I know of that make an instant change to your appearance.
9. Get a new outfit (but let someone objective help you choose it).
   Go shopping with a frank and stylish friend or put yourself in the hands of a saleswoman you can trust. You need someone who will tell you what suits you and what looks fashionable to get you out of a fashion rut.
10. Learn to meditate.
    Meditation will erase the signs of strain and worry as you learn how to calm your mind.
