Playing with hormones



I went out for a drink with my friends last night. We've been feeling tired and haggard lately, due to advancing age and the stress of daily life. But one of my friends was looking good -- her skin was smooth and shiny, and I assumed she had discovered a new foundation -- but NO!

She had borrowed some bio-identical serum from a friend (those are the synthetic hormones that Suzanne Somers touts on Oprah) and used that and said she felt like a new woman. She really looked younger. We were skeptical then she produced a bottle of it from her bag. (You can get them from your doctor she said.)

She showed us how to apply the gel, and we had so much fun rubbing in on our inner arms then waiting to look younger. (We kept asking each other, 'does my skin look better yet?' 'do I look 25 now?')

It was like doing drugs at a party -- only we were doing hormone creams instead of crack.
