A starting review from the Brother In Law of Katie, a fellow consultant. 😊 💙
"R+F REDEFINE— #3 PM—Day One
Society frowns on, and even jokes about, men who “moisturize.” They (I always hear that one word... ‘they’... who specifically is ‘they’?) also joke about men who have “turkey neck.” Can’t win when you are a male in his mid-50’s who spends lots of time out in the sun I guess.
Okay, so I will now admit it to the world… as of the last 24-hours, I officially moisturize my face. Let them… “They”... joke all they want about me. I’m tough, I can take it… I have been married for thirty years! HA! No one scares me… well, one person does.
So, my sister-in-law, Katie, who is more of a close friend than a relative, mails me this R+F “Redefine PM,” cream #3. “White stuff applied at night,” as I call it (wife rolls eyes). I have used a box store brand of aftershave lotion-type liquid for years, cheap stuff, for so long I never have really given it much thought. Never applied something to my face for night time use though.
This small, perfectly squared-shaped white box arrives in the mail early yesterday and is so impressively packaged that I actually look it up on the R+F website. The product is also listed under the description of—“AGE ASSAULT!” I like that description! Now that’s manly! It now has that testosterone scientific/molecular structure element of machismo about it! Right up there with nitro top-fueled dragsters and “Rollerball”—the 70’s movie version!
Now I really have something to work with—halting the male aging process and a new comedy routine to impress/torment my wife with. I can now stomp into the bathroom at night and with a commanding voice declaring—“Halt! I will now commence stopping father time. Let the transformation begin!” (Eye rolling from wife last night and under-the-breath words I could not decider in full).
I washed my face and opened the package. I smelled it, just like all men do with another clandestine behavior—applying a tiny, pea-sized dab of their wife’s brown liquid makeup stuff to cover a large red zit/pimple that has mysteriously and aggressively appeared overnight before one has to testify in court for hours (... but that’s another story) or give a speech to dozens of half-asleep staff members after lunch (again, I digress). “Apply a thin, even layer…” the directions indicated. More is better right? I tripled it. My face was so dry, the moment I applied #3, I swear I could hear an audible straw-like, bottom-of-the-milkshake-glass, slurping sound and an Inner-Viking/Old Norse Highlands voice screaming from the days of old—“MORE WHITE STUFF—PRESENT ARMS AND RALLY! SLAY FATHER TIME!”
Yesterday, I spent four hours conducting yard work in the Georgia sun. This morning my face was not dry, in fact, I could still feel the product on my face slightly. It aided in a smoother shave this morning also."

It is available on Amazon- Kindle, check it out!!! You don't need to be a sci-fi lover to enjoy this book. It is entertaining and hard to put down because you are anxious to know what happens next. It makes me proud to call him family (and friend). It would be an excellent movie SOMEDAY!!! 💙
