Frankenweenie coming to Theaters October 2012

On October 5, 2012, from Walt Disney Pictures, you can catch Tim Burton’s Frankenweenie, (creative mind behind Alice in Wonderland and The Nightmare Before Christmas).

After unexpectedly losing his dog Sparky, young Victor uses the power of science to bring his dog Sparky back to life, with a few minor adjustments. He tries to hid his creation for a while but then, Sparky gets out. Victor’s entire town including his classmates and teacher learn that getting a new “leash on life” can be monsterous.

It will be a stop motion animated film and done in black and white, rendered in 3D.

Frankenweenie will include Winona Ryder, Martin Short, Catherine O’hara, Martin Landau, Charlie Tahan, Atticus Shaffer, Robert Capron, and Conchata Ferrell.

The rating is yet to be announced.

You can like Frankenweenie on Facebook.

PMD, personal microderm you can do at home

Many day spas and certain doctors offer microderm abrasion treatments. You may know that one of the benefits to microderm abrasion is making your skin look and feel younger. Microderm can also help with age spots and acne. Did you know that microderm can also help those anti-aging creams work better?

One of the problems with Microderm abrasion at a spa or doctor’s office is the cost. Also, you need to keep going back. Who has that kind of money or time in this economy? If you’ve been wanting to try it but just don’t want to fork over the hundreds of dollars for the treatments, there is a less expensive alternative. PMD Personal Microderm.

PMD Personal Microderm is a a tool you can use at home and costs only a fraction of what they’re charging at the spa near you. PMD uses aluminum oxide crystals that slough off the upper layer of skin. This can help reduce fine lines, age spots, and dead skin cells. Once the healthier skin is on the surface your anti-aging creams can work better. The suction on the device also helps to remove the dead skin cells.

The PMD device comes with an instructional video you can watch on your computer. I strongly suggest watching the video before even attempting to use the device. This device has a bit of a learning curve. The first time I used it I ended up with some red areas on my skin. I did watch the video but you have to learn the technique and the device. It came with the both blue and green disc. The blue discs are the finer grit and I would suggest starting with those until you get the hang of your device. Once I learned how to work my device I loved it.

It’s also great for my winter skin. I get really dry skin in the winter to the point that it gets itchy and even flaky. The PMD device sloughed that flaky skin right off. It makes my skin feel so smooth after I use it too.

PMD is available at Best Buy for $179.99. Just a fraction of the cost of treatments by a professional. If you’re looking to treat yourself, this product works well.

–Positively Nourishing Calming Body Wash

One of the first products I tried immediately was the AVEENO Positively Ageless Skin Strengthening hand cream. Which is meant for dry fragile skin and moisturizes for 24 hours

I love this hand cream. The active naturals in this hand cream is the southernwood. Other than having a beautiful scent, southernwood helps to strengthen the skin’s moisture barrier. It’s a thick hand cream that absorbs well into the hands.

I was my hands very frequently. I work at a local hospital and wash my hands at least 10 times a day. Then washing my hands when I cook, wipe little, noses, etc. My hands really get dry and painful during the winter months. When I used this hand cream I could feel the difference in my hands for hours.

AVEENO Skin Strengthening hand cream will be available at drugstores and super centers this month.
