Coping With Marriage To a CD

After 19 years of marriage, I found out my husband was a crossdresser. "Shocked" didn't even begin to cover it. Shocked, horrified, angry (heck yeah), betrayed, inadequate and deeply, DEEPLY depressed. My husband said I was "broken", and I was. To say the rug had been pulled out from under me was a colossal understatement--there wasn't even a floor at all. How stupid was I? How could I live with someone that long and not know something that big? This was someone that I trusted and he had kept something so critical and important from me. Oh, I knew that things weren't exactly as they should be, but CDing had never crossed my mind.

Skin Care 101: The Importance of Proper Skin Care Regimen

An artist always prepares the canvas before creating a work of art. Let’s face it; you girls are all artists, perhaps even more so than your GG counterparts. The makeup that goes on your face – the fun stuff/toys – won’t do what you really want it to do without preparing the skin first. A few minutes and few cents per day can help you reach your most accomplished look.

The basic requirements of a really good skin care regimen include twice daily cleansing, removal of dead surface cells, refining the appearance of fine lines/wrinkles/pores, providing essential moisture and protecting the skin from the environment. One more time:

  • Cleanse,
  • Exfoliate,
  • Refine,
  • Moisturize, and
  • Protect!
