Please do not wear perfume, body spray, excessive hair spray or cologne to the gym. It makes it difficult for those around you to breathe. Thank you.
sigh…insomnia has horrific pitfalls, as if not being able to sleep is difficult enough, I am being tempted by infomercials at night too! My latest obsession of ‘must haves’ was the ped-egg. you know which one I’m talking about. I was super mad when I got it though (got it through amazon.com). It’s not any more effective or different from your run of the mill slougher that you can get at Target. blah. I suppose that it does have the ‘egg’ feature that catches all your dusty gross dead skin, but unless you are going to hold it upright to file your feet, the ash crumbles all over your leg because it’s being held upside down when trying to get under your heel. dude. gross.
I went and got my whole face waxed because I figured that it was time for a facial and after I get one, I wouldn’t be able to wax for a couple of weeks, but after this wax job, my ENTIRE face broke out with small white bumps - similar probably to small pox. Dude…GROSS! It’s been a week already and while it looks a bit better, it’s still major nasty and I honestly think (I know I’ve said this before) but I really need to consider an alternative to hair removal. Oh god, aging sucks ass.
Ok so I just finished swelling down from my 2008 wrinkle filler injections - this time with the latest and greatest, Juvederm. Last year, I had 2 treatments of Restalyn, on my face paranthesis, the corners of my mouth and on my upper lip (1 thread) but I had a couple of super minor problems - the first being a tiny lump that formed on the underside of my top lip, which to me wasn’t a super big deal because it wasn’t visible and didn’t hurt. It ended up dissolving about a year later. The other problem was that my side face filler was kind of visible under my skin - kind of like i had a baby slug under my skin -omg-gross, but it wasn’t really gross, it was just kind of weird. I’ll post a photo later to show you what I’m talking about.
ANYway, I went to Dr. Marks again to get this year’s filler upper - same places - nasal folds, lip crease, upper lip (2 threads this time) but this time with Juvederm - which has a waaaay more smooth look. No under-skin slugs, smooth injection sites, but the downfall (tiny actually) is that my lip bruised up at the injection site so I had to cover it up for a couple of days. And after the 3rd day the swelling goes down and the injections end up looking way more natural. I may have to go get the corners of my mouth retouched but other than that, I’m pretty happy and actually prefer Juvederm over Restalyn. And of course, Dr. Marks did a fabulous job with absolutely no pain whatsoever so I was a happy camper. Am a happy camper I mean.
The procedure will run you approximately $500 bucks for about a year of plumpness.
Another hit and miss with Strivectin with me - I’ve used both the hand cream treatment and the regular cream and now, just coming in a smaller tube the small print says that the eye cream is actually the same thing as the regular cream minus the fragrance to ‘not irritate’ the ‘delicate’ eye area. Whatev. It still isn’t worth the money.
I know, I’m super late on the gravy train, but I am now officially on Facebook! you can click on the banner below to link up with me.

Just totally an FYI, but 3 months is the toss-out timeline for mascara, which makes me kind of mad being that it’s kind of pricey and actually seems to work better the older it gets. New mascara is a may-jah bummer, it doesn’t go on thick enough…but that could be the chola part of me coming out. At the moment, I’m using Diorshow mascara but ding dang if it’s gonna be bad in another month, I sure will buy the pink and green greatlash deal next time - it’s less than half the price of Diorshow!
Anyway, did you know that moisturizer is recommended to be replaced every 3 months too. Can you dig it?
