The Weather

Oh wow, the weather was so amazing today in North Carolina. My hubby and I took a little walk around the neighborhood and I got to wear my shorts. I was so happy. I hate the cold weather now. Just a couple years ago I couldn't wait until summer was over and the snow was falling. Now I am totally opposite, I want the sun, I want my pool, I want shorts, and warm weather. I am loving today for the beautiful weather. The sun was shinning, the cold air was far away and we were left with a nice cool breeze. It was lovely. It isn't quite warm enough for me to take a dip in my pool but it was nice. I am counting down the days until summer. See you there.

Layered Hair Cut

   So I tried the quick and easy layered hair cut video out and cut my hair. It doesn't take any length off the back or bottom of your hair, it just basically cuts off the top layer of hair what ever length you cut. I did about an inch. So far so good but I want to live with it about a week before I make a final decision about it. So catch me in about a week and I will update about how I love or hate my hair cut.

Love

Love can mean allot of things for different people, to me, love is so strong you would lie for it, you would die for it, you would kill for it. Love is the strongest thing in the world. But then there is puppy love or lust that often get mistaken for love. Love is too strong to ever break or bend, you could never stop the love. People think you can fall in and out of love, but once in love you could never stop loving. Nothing can stop it, nothing. Not even death.
That's my opinion anyway.

Treating your skin with care

  
Clear and beautiful skin is possible for you or anyone but this is basiclly for people with oilly skin and frequent  outbreaks. If you have a different type of skin you can leave a comment and I will also add your skin type and how to treat it. For a basic lesson in skin care rememeber to wash your face, never sleep with make-up on your face and moisturize. Treating your skin with care is something that you should start at a young age, but it is never too late to start taking care of your skin. If you want beautiful skin that feel soft to the touch and glows with youth you just need to get down a pattern of face cleaning, scrubbing, toning and moisturizing.

Clean & Clear Morning Burst Facial Cleanser

You can find this great cleanser for around $6.99 at CVS or any other drugstore. It is very important that you wash your face every morning when you wake up and crawl out of bed because your face will be covered in oils and dirt from your pillow and hair. You will also want to wash your face again before you lay down at night to go to sleep. You NEVER want to go to sleep with any make-up on!!



                    Olay Refreshing Toner

You can find this Toner at CVS or any drugstore for around $3.99. After you wash and pat dry your face you want to moisten a clean cotton ball with the toner and wipe face and neck. Now if you have reall bad acne that you need to clear up skip to the next step.


Stri-Dex Sensitive With Aloe Pads

You can find Stri-Dex just about anywhere, drugstores, CVS for around $3.99. I like using the sensitive with aloe because it is a little more gentle but you can always go for any of them. Stri-Dex will dry out your pimples and that's the way to get rid of them. Use the pad to wipe the entire affected area; Repeat with a clean pad as necessary to remove remaining traces of dirt.


             CVS Medicated Apricot Scrub

You can find the apricot scrub at CVS for around $2.79. You want to wash your face with this once a week, maybe in the shower. It gently removes dirt, oil and dead skin cells and reveals smooth, healthy, more radiant skin with use of natural exfoliants that gently remove dull, dead skin cells.


 

     Aveeno Baby Daily Moisture Lotion

You can find this at CVS for around $5.69. It is super important to moisturize your skin after you have washed and dried out your face. I love this stuff and use it everyday. But if I am trying to get rid of pimples I use a different one. The next step is for this only.


Clean & Clear Dual Action Moisturizer Oil-Free

You can find this moisturizer at CVS or anywhere for around $6.50. This moisturizer is used when you are having pimple problems, outbreaks.

    Happy New Year 2011

    Happy New Year 2011!:)
    A new year is here, the last year gone, enjoy everyday like it's going to be your last day because you never know when your time is up. In the beginning the only thing in life is eating, pooping, and sleeping. Then we grow to children and life is school and playing. By the time we are going through puberty life is too long and we would do anything to grow up faster and be an adult. Life is school, friends, boys, parties and fun when you are a carefree teen. In our twenty's life is one big party, boys and college. We think only of ourselves and just want to have fun. When we start getting closer to our thirties we notice that people are starting to die all around us, movie stars from movies we watched as children and teens, our grandparents, uncles and aunts. Cancer in everywhere, is there anyone out there that does know at least one person that had cancer or has cancer? Life goes by so quickly in this part of our lives, I feel like I was just in college but that was seven years ago. I fear allot more now that I am getting older, the loss of my husband for one. I feel like I couldn't gone on without him, I really don't know how I managed without him before we came together. I would be lost without him.
    Happy New Year everyone, enjoy this one!

    Skull/Wings Cell Phone Cover

    I recently bought this cell phone cover for my husbands cell phone from amazon.com and it should be here next week sometime. I love to shop from amazon because they have everything you could ever be looking for. The only downside is having to pay shipping for each item, but when you are buying each item from a different place of coarse you will have to pay shipping for each item. But most things you buy on amazon are much cheaper than anywhere else so it makes up for the shipping.
    What do you think about the cell phone cover? Leave a comment and don't forget to follow my blog so you can read more about everything and anything.:)
