Hyaluronic acid and my 7 day Trial

I'm trying Evolve Hyaluronic Acid in a 7 day trial, and will report back daily as to the results. I'm keen to reduce my 2 vertical frown lines, which are pretty deep, so no miracles expected! What's the blurb? This pure clear serum for normal to dry skin contains 200mg hyaluronic acid per bottle, proven to hydrate skin from within and plump up fine lines and wrinkles. Organic pomegranate extract softens and protects. Delicately fragranced with organic rosewater HYALURONIC ACID - Hyaluronic acid can hold up to 1,000 times its weight in water making it a highly effective component in moisturisers. Hyaluronic acid helps to reduce wrinkles, making the skin look younger with an improved skin tone. . We use lower molecular weight Hylauronic Acid which penetrated deeper and has more effective hydrating properties. It also increases the production of collagen. POMEGRANATE EXTRACT - Pomegranate is high in ellagic acid which helps to regulate cell turnover and strengthen...

Snakes alive, St Paddy has departed

So that's St Patrick's Day out of the way - and a chance for our collective liver to rest awhile. We headed to Bar Pinche - well, there's nowhere else! - and were intrigued, not to mention delighted, to see a shiny Guinness pump placed on the bar.

That's plugged in and then a miracle happens. A surge of power wobbles the glass and the black stuff erupts like a volcano to form a creamy head and a pretty decent pint. Should St Patrick himself have dropped into the bar last night he couldn't have done it better. As we sat and enjoyed it, armed with our free silly hats, Salvador rolled up.

Third Cousin Twenty Times Removed

There IS a God - I thought, albeit too briefly, as daughter sat in the Dentist's chair with her mouth open for three quarters of an hour. "She should be uncomfortable to talk or eat for three hours. And... That'll be just fifty quid" , announced Jorge with a flash of an unnaturally white smile. Merrily we handed it over, it's been a bit like that this week, €1400 was gleefully given to the Spanish Tax office yesterday, offered to the high altar of Spanish corruption. All made worse by a preparatory drink in the bar the night before, a wee gin to soften the blow, only to watch Bárcenas smoke his fat cigar in 'prison', a mere 82 days for a fortune and a swindle. There's a thought. I'd take the 82 days where he is and keep my €1400, but I don't have a choice. Wonder if they have WiFi in Spanish nick? Anyway, I digress....back to the long road home after the dentist. B is coming for the fiesta from Granada, piped up Goofy in the ba...
