Issue #38 - Greta's Thanksgiving Surprise

Greta stood on the train platform at Grand Central Station, wearing her new Michael Kors wool sheath dress, as the 2:07 train pulled out. She was supposed to be on that train! Now, she would have to wait another hour for the next one and probably be late for her parents Thanksgiving dinner in Connecticut. Greta walked back into the main station. Suddenly, she looked up to find Guy Thompson smiling at her, looking impossibly handsome.

"I knew you were going to miss that train," he said, taking her bag.

"And how is that?" Greta asked, wishing she didn't find him so devastatingly attractive.

"When you stayed at Face Headquarters to finish the article on the latest wines from France, I knew you'd miss your train."

"Oh, Guy. I only wrote about French wine. I didn't drink any!" Greta laughed.

"Well, perhaps we can fix that." Guy took Greta's hand. "You know, you look incredibly beautiful for a gal who's been working on a deadline and just missed her train."

It was true, despite all the pressure to get the article finished, Greta knew she did look good. Even though she'd been putting in some late nights, there were no dark circles under her eyes thanks to GreatSkin's DCX Eye Serum. One drop of this cream in the morning and evening did wonders to smooth out the delicate under eye area and protect it from free radicals in the environment.

And that morning, Greta had cleansed her face with GreatSkin's delicious Cucumber Refining Scrub. It contains tiny jojoba beads that gently exfoliate while the chamomile calmed and soothed. Next, Greta treated herself to a GreatSkin Firming Masque. She indulged in this luxurious treat three times a week and her skin really loved her for it! The miracle of this product was that it contained algae extracts which hydrated and firmed her skin, while the shea butter soothed, healed and protected. An amazing combination! Greta then applied her latest secret weapon to reduce wrinkles--GreatSkin Luminous Peptide Brightening Serum. And brighten it did--with Bellis perennis (daisy flower extract), this amazing product actually lightened and brightened her skin making her look younger than ever. Finally, Greta smoothed on GreatSkin Glycolic Moisture Cream--infused with lemon, passionflower, grape and pineapple, it accelerated her skin's natural renewal process and made those fine lines disappear, leaving her with healthier, younger looking skin that made men swoon. Certainly, she seemed to be having that effect on Guy Thompson as he stood under the suffused light of the historic Grand Central Station.

Greta looked up at the clock in the center of the station. She still had forty-five minutes to wait.

"Can I have my bag back?" she asked Guy.

"Actually, no."

"And why is that?"

"Because, I've got a limo outside waiting to take us."

"A limo?" Greta asked.

"Of course. You know, I think I'm going to enjoy spending Thanksgiving in Connecticut. I've always waited to meet your parents, Greta."

Now, this was serious, Greta thought.

  wild salmon, blueberries, broccoli, tomatoes, cinnamon, oranges, oats, pumpkin, soy, spinach, black and green tea, raw walnuts or raw pumpkin seeds, dried fruit and dates, dark chocolate, turkey, and yogurt.
• Eating smaller meals by using smaller plates
