Jeanie's Journal
The future is not always what we plan it to be, so who would have ever guessed that I would ever be part of a southern magazine. Well, here I am a beauty director of a national magazine. What a challenging and rewarding experience to be a part of something from the start.
Most people ask me what I do in my spare time…well I love to run and believe it or not it wasn’t a hard thing to start. Let’s face it all that stress has to go somewhere so why not pound the pavement. During long distances I take Myrtle my trusted i pod with me. Currently my favorite artists are The Avett Brothers and The Gabe Dixon Band.
So here’s to the future and whatever it brings my way. I am up for the challenge.

She and I...

However, I often look in the mirror and wonder why do I have dark circles, where did that line on my forehead start to look more noticeable and do I have what they call crow’s feet?!
Our intern was helping me take inventory a few...

Since I started running 2 years ago I have been really lucky not to get any blisters or experience the dreaded skin chaffing. About a month ago I encountered my first blister. I thought to myself … This is awful....I can quit running or I can find a solution to the problem. Since quitting was not an option (I haven't worked at something this long to just give up) I needed to find a solution... and quick. As luck would have it I was recently introduced to a great new product from Bliss called...
