Skin Care

So I thought of something that I really need to start doing this year-I guess a sort of "resolution"-to take better care of my skin! I have always been bad about having a good skin care routine. Right now all I do is use wipes to take off my makeup at night, and then just rinse my face in the morning and put on moisturizer after that.

I just HATE going through the whole routine of using a face wash at night, and scrubs, masks, and moisturizers and all that. It takes too long, it's messy, and I'm just too tired at night to fool with it. I've tried, and I just never stick with it! Can you say lazy??

However, my skin lately has been horrible(breakouts!), and I need to do something about it. Well, my skin has never really been that great. I was definitely NOT blessed with smooth, glowing skin, unfortunately.  I'm SO jealous of people with good skin!  I had acne prone skin all through my teenage years. It got a little better as I got older, but it still pops up every now and then. I notice breakouts more in the winter, I guess because my tan covers it up in the summer.

I'm going to really try hard to make it a habit to wash my face every night with a cleanser, then moisturize, and use a scrub and mask once or twice a week.

So does anyone have any tips for me for getting clear, healthy skin?  Any favorite (preferrably inexpensive) products that you've had success with?

    I recently noticed my skin being way more dry than usual. I too have tried being better about taking care of my skin. I wrote a blog with some of my favorite beauty/skin products. The face wash is very popular to people who have tried it. Sure to get off a full face of makeup with just a little bit! I started moisturizing at night and morning and it helped with dryness. I also started putting hand cream on at night with gloves. It's really annoying and I don't do it every night but that is the goal!

    I dont know if this would be inexpensive enough for you, But im 30 and i have been using Mary Kay Skin care since i was 15 & i think my skin looks pretty good for my age. I sell it. I do not use alot of makeup, cause i think you need to take care of your skin first. I like plan simple natural beauty. I can alway give you a facial anytime you would like.

People always said That time would heal the pain But how can that be When mine still remains? The tears still fall At just the thought of you So I know that what they say Just can't be true As the years go by I miss you so much still  No matter how much time passes I know I always will How are you not here To ease my hurting heart? Never could I have imagined We would ever be apart My world has been shattered A piece of me is gone And all I can do is pray For strength to live on I know that one day soon I will see you again I just have to try to suffer through And make it until then

Putting My Heart Out There

Hey guys. Here's where we're at right now: Matt finished his radiation treatments last week. Did they help? I don't know. He's sleeping a lot more. Having trouble chewing and swallowing. Not eating much. Not talking much, at least not in full sentences. It's just been a slow, steady decline for the last few months. I think it was really too late for radiation....But who knows, maybe it is delaying things. We went in last Tuesday for his infusion and talked with his neuro-oncologist about everything that we've been seeing with Matt, and he decided that we're at the point now where we should discontinue treatments...I feel like it's the right decision, even though it breaks my heart knowing that there is nothing else we can do. But I feel like we've done everything. All the supplements, the diet, the chemo, the radiation... Matt has fought hard. He never gave up hope. He kept the faith. He never complained through any of this. Not once did I hea...

Why?

Why? Why do I care so much?  Why do I make sure they brush their teeth at night so that they don't get cavities? Why do I spend my own money to buy them clothes, toys and decorate their rooms, among other things?  Why do I do 5,000 loads of laundry a week to make sure they have clothes to wear to school? Why do I make sure they go to church on Sundays so that they'll be raised to know about Jesus? Why do I try to give them chores and responsibilities so that they will turn out to be decent human beings? Why do I read them a bedtime story at night, even when I'm exhausted? Why do I clean up after them constantly and cook for them and try to always have healthy snacks and food on hand? Why do I go to their sports games and practices, just to feel like the odd man out standing there awkwardly with their bio mom? Why do I give 100% of myself and make so many sacrifices for children I didn't birth? Only to be insulted and told hurtful things? To be made to feel like I'm ...
