Apollo challenged Cupid's archery skills. Cupid responded by shooting two arrows, one dipped in gold, causing lust to whomever is struck by it. The second one, dipped in lead, would cause whomever to want nothing to do with love. The gold arrow struck Apollo and the lead arrow struck Daphne. Apollo kept on chasing after Daphne, since he was in love, but Daphne wanted nothing to do with him, since she wants nothing to do with love altogether. She became tired of running away from Apollo and begged her father, a river god, to help her. He transformed her into a laurel tree. Apollo was still deeply in love with Daphne and claimed the tree. He made a wreath out of the leaves and wore it. This is why the laurel wreath is a symbol of Apollo.
My attitude towards eternal youth is quite 50/50. Personally I would not partake in any of it, but it is up to the person that wants to do it. Getting botox and surgeries can get costly, but if someone has the money then go for it! I am not the type of person to stop someone from doing what they want to do to make themselves feel better.
