I would last all of 10 minutes in the media industry. They wouldn't dig my corny quips at all, lol.

Actually, I wouldn't mind being slightly pinker..  I'm just plain white as sheet right now. Haven't figured out how to get a tan without either baking in the sun, getting sprayed down like a car in a body shop, or slathering on paraben-filled sunless tanner. (sigh)   This beauty thing is complicated.    I know what you mean about conflicting info.. You read one positive article and then the very next thing you google up says it will kill you or cause you irreversible bodily harm, lol! Aghhh!  I tend to reach a saturation point and if what I'm researching sounds really good for my needs, I will cautiously try it despite minor negative feedback that I've read.. Heck, there's probably some bogus article floating around online about Mother Theresa being a pick-pocket if we looked hard enough for it.   My point is that I think you have to go with your gut intuition sometimes. Therefore, I'm inclined to believe that astaxanthin would work as we want it to for the most part (I'm thinking though that adding an aromatase to it would be a good idea too, in my opinion).

Thanks for shooting the info this way, Bettie! Keep it coming when you find something pertinent.

Oh the media doesn't appreciate real talent! 

If you want to look more colorful, I highly recommend sea buckthorn oil!! It's full of omega 3, 6, 7, 9 (11, 14, 29...just kiddin') and vitamin A, C and E. It has plenty of great properties (and I have a feeling for NBE too....will keep u updated). Anything with beta carotene should help you become more pink/orange. I'm tanning very easily and nicely since taking SBO. Really, you should look it up as I think it's one of those underrated plants/fruits. I love it so far (hopefully I won't wake up tomorrow in hives or something).

 Sooo funny! You really hit the nail on the head!  Just the other day I read a magazine article about how chocolate is evil (though I don't take those kind of statements to heart...) and today I read an online article about how chocolate is the key to a long life (it was referring to pure, dark chocolate of course minus sugar/milk/other junk but you get my point). So yes, you do have to go with your gut (my gut says "chocolate forever"). Seriously, we have to take everything we read/hear with a grain of salt (whether it's positive or negative...). 

Yes, I would also like to know where you get your extracts RubyM (edit: just saw the links. Great!) . With that powerful trio, I doubt a single hair will survive 
 Be careful though ladies with reishi as it could lower blood pressure and thin the blood especially in the long run. Apparently you get very...vivid dreams with reishi.

I'm not sure if it's talent or just nuttiness (if that's a word.. nuttiness).

Ok sea buckthorn is next my list when I financially recover from my last supplement order, lol. Sounds great!! Possible tan and potential NBE growth from it too? How much more can you ask of a little sea buckthorn? Oh yes, let's not forget our omegas. And remember we have to get the correct balance of the 3's, 6's, 9's, 11's, 14's, etc. etc. No big deal, right?

Hahaha, I'm also hesitant to say something good about a supplement I'm taking because that's when a side effect will immediately pop up.. the minute after I say something good about it!  My mom and I will try to give each other wordless hints about how something's working for us.. we're probably the only people using mime in an everyday conversation. 

Girl, my gut says " Chocolate?   Hallelujah."   You just can't go wrong with pure additive-free dark chocolatey goodness.  Uh oh.  I'm sounding like a commercial again. What is wrong with me?  

Yep, I've read about the reishi/blood pressure connection too.. another thing I don't want to fiddle with right now. Dang, I sound so touchy.     I'm still holding out on my spearmint or white peony or astaxanthin or whatever else you girls end up leading me into before this is over.
