In 1979, Deborah Crowley invented facial resistance training and founded FlexEffect Facialbuilding (TM), a comprehensive program that uses resistance facial exercises to strengthen face and neck muscles. In 2010, Ms. Crowley published the third edition of her book and introduced Bone Jolting (TM) and Pressure Reps (TM) for bone remodeling. Research shows that facial bone volume decreases over time changing our appearance and enhancing folds and wrinkles in the overlying skin.

Mewing - a Mandatory Posture for Optimum Health and a Balanced Facial Profile by Deborah Tosline
Mewing is a mouth posture invented by Dr. Mike Mew that maintains closed lips, uses constant nose breathing and rests the tongue against the roof of the mouth to develop healthy facial posture. Mewing propels the bottom jaw forward to develop a healthy facial profile that promotes straight teeth alignment, supports the nose and cheeks, widens the upper jaw and provides access to a full airway for better breathing. I began mewing in 2019 and continue to this day.
Good Bye 2022 - Hello 2023 DIY Skin Care Plan by Deborah Tosline
Life’s challenging. As we work hard to meet responsibilities, achieve goals and plan futures, it’s easy to forget about simple mindless low-cost beneficial pleasures. I began my Do-It-Yourself (DIY) skin care journey about 40 years ago while struggling through college. On Saturdays, I slathered plain yogurt on my face and neck, followed by honey, followed by avocado for an hour at a time while I cleaned, organized and studied. I remember it as a mindless action that was telling. I don’t remember what prompted me but I’ve pursued a continuous DIY skin care hobby throughout my life.

The US mainstream lifestyle does not promote bone health. Over time, bones lose density and strength which fundamentally changes health outcomes and physical appearance.
