This month’s Natural Products Marketplace magazine features an article Anti-Aging Naturally in which Garden Girl is quoted. The article touches on how many people are turning to natural products to fight the signs of aging.

“Getting older—gray hair, wrinkles, sagging skin—is avoided like the plague; and, if you show any signs of aging you are sent off to leper island where peels, Botox, surgical lifts and paper-bags-over-the-head are mandatory before catching a ferry back to the main island, where everyone is shiny, supple-skinned and radiantly young.

Miller added: “It is becoming easier to have treatments and procedures that can alter your looks and make you appear younger—just like the celebrities.
