Tuesday's quick tip: Anti-aging secret(s)

You can take the girl out of research land, but not the researcher mentality out of the girl. I like to collect data on random things. I love asking people questions about how they live their lives. And my favorite question to ask of beautiful women is, "How are you staying youthful?" Because we all have secrets. And if you ask nicely enough, most women will share theirs with you.

Here are the top five answers I've received and pieces of wisdom I've gathered over the years.
1. Exfoliate
Get a dry brush, use a facial exfoliant, buy a body scrub. However you do it, get that dead skin off your body! It will reveal a more youthful layer of skin below.
2. Oil up
Put a few drops of rosemary oil in your bath, and a few drops of lavender oil in your moisturizer. While you're at it, place a piece of mookaite jasper in your moisturizer jar too. It's the fountain of youth stone.
And make sure your moisturizer has a decent SPF.
3. Stop smoking. Like right now. Forever.
4. Meditate daily.
5. Drink water. Then drink more. Eh, a little more.

Want one more tip? Take all your vitamins, especially the Bs and Omega 3s (but not Omega 6s).
