Carol Perkins: In the Pursuit of Happiness Previous Column: Friends and Family Weekend By Carol Perkins In the pursuit of happiness, as a right of all Americans as is stated in the Declaration of Independence, I am searching for a solution to an age-old problem that plagues many women and often stops them from being truly happy. As evident by the billions of dollars spent annually to rid or decrease the unhappiness the problem brings, the search is never over. In this pursuit of happiness, however, I have waited too late. Too much "water under the bridge" to swim back to the days when I should have been preparing. Now that I am losing the battle, I take up the fight. I'm in a fight to rid myself of the tire tracks down the sides of my face, squiggly lines across my forehead, crevices buried from my nose to my mouth, and those tiny, unforgiving lines around the mouth. I determined that a round or two of Botox (not the kind that changes a person's face into someone else) might erase a few lines. The appointment went like this: "Botox is not what you need. You need collagen injections. These injections will produce...." And she explained the procedure, but I stopped listening at the $4,000 price tag. Last week, I lathered my face with two different wrinkle creams in my stash of beauty products. I looked like a mummy. After applying the cream, I put on my CPAC mask, confident that my face would look better in the morning. There was a difference, but one that I "dreamed not of." As I washed my face during my shower, a burning sensation swept over me. My face was on fire. I dried off and looked in the mirror to see cheeks lit up like a pumpkin. Whatever I put on my face triggered an unwanted reaction. My face is red, swollen, and burning after three days. After researching products, I ordered a jar of collagen, retinol, and Hyaluronic Acid...the word "acid" makes me nervous. When the fire goes out on my cheeks, I'll try this solution and see if my Pursuit of Happiness is in a jar. You can contact Carol at carolperkins06@gmail.com.
