my weird skincare regimen.

So earlier, a friend of mine asked me what products I use that makes my skin “glow”. First off, I had no idea my skin even did that, but I just assume that the reason it’s giving off that term is from what I’ve been doing the last few months. Mind you, it’s really weird, stinks a little (just ask my super boyfriend), and is tedious, but so is a lot of skin care regimens so whatever works! I figured I would make a post sharing what I do daily in case anyone was in the dumps about their skin and is willing to try anything to see if it’ll work for them. That’s basically how I came up with this regimen myself and I don’t see myself switching to anything else unless I’m laying on a cosmetic surgeon’s table. Here we go!

What you’ll need:

1. Blow dryer

2. All natural glycerin bar soap (I use Dr. Bronner’s Magic Soap in Hemp Rose)

3. Raw Organic Apple Cider Vinegar (I prefer Bragg’s or Trader Joe’s brand)

4. Water.

5. Toner bottle 

6. Boots Botanics Organic Rosewater Toner

7. Spray toner bottle 

8. Boots Organic Face Hydrating Cream

9. Cotton balls

First, cleanse your face with the bar soap and luke warm water. Rinse with cooler water until clean. Next, mix half water and half organic apple vinegar into a toner bottle and shake. Apply on a cotton ball and swipe over entire face. Blow dry, do not towel dry. I like to blow dry my face on the cool setting. When dry, pour the Boots Botanics Organic Rosewater Toner into a spray mist bottle and spray over face. Blow dry. When dry, apply the Boots Organic Face Hydrating Cream. Again, blow dry. You’re all set. Do your thing!

I’ve found this regimen to keep my blemishes at bay and my oil production low. Oh and apparently, I have a “glow”. No complaints! Hope this helps someone out who’s had the same battle with finding something that works for their skin type. 

madelainee: ameemer: Your chicken nuggets are worth this? And your scrambled eggs are worth this? They are sorting out the male chicks and grinding them up alive since they will never be able to lay eggs or be “of use” to the industry. Think about what you’re eating! By the way, thats a grinder the male chicks are going into.

vegan challenge.

Here we go. I’m going to try the vegan/dairy-free way of eating. I don’t think my brain has wrapped itself around the fact that I’m not going to be eating cheese. Nor chicken. Nor chocolate milk. Worst of all…cheeseless pizza. Cheeseless. Pizza. Okay, I think that dinged the bell in my brain. Wish me luck!

And suddenly I’m looking at and holding my Macbook Pro in an entirely different way. The Thomas Edison of our generation. Let’s hope someone can keep creating the electricity that is Apple the way that Steve did.
