Hard to believe that I will be 36 next week!!! Crazy how time flies by... So in my quest to live forever and look 20 while I am doing it, I have started to try to eat a little healthier and go a little more Organic (gasp) in my routine. Not really Organic but I do believe the closer to a foods natural state is much better for you. Because really did you know that a 20 oz pop has 17 teaspoons of sugar in it? I mean really that is wayyyyyyyy too much... Hence my kids dismay that I am no longer buying pop for our house. They can have it when we are out.. I am not a total nazi!
I have started a new skincare routine. I always wash my face twice a day to keep from breakouts. Usually with a wash with some sort of acid in in... Than with a chemically inhanced wrinkle cream. How can Acid and Chemicals be good for my aging skin? So on my new favorite site Pintrest... If you haven't tried this you must! I found 2 new "recipes" for taking care of my face... The first that I am most excited about is an oil mix.. I know right, who knew oil to clean your face. Seems like it would cause more breakouts.. Apparently not. I am doing the 3 parts Castor Oil and 1 part Olive Oil.. Look up the recipe for your skin at simplemom.net, she also recommends only washing your hair with baking soda and vinegar... but I can't go that far. I can already tell a difference in my pores though, this HUGE one I had by nose is noticeably smaller.. I'll keep you posted though. Speaking of baking soda, I also used it for a DIY microderm abrasion.. Softer and smoother... And much cheaper.
So Happy Birthday to me and maybe I can be a little better on this blog stuff since I am getting OLDER!!
