The long troublesome worries of complexion.

              I am getting ready to go natural, to go naked! Organic skin care,silly, get your mind out of the gutter!
Recently my skin has been going crazy with ugly blemishes. I recently was recommended to use Olay. It uses AHA, which has not worked for me in the past. The girl swore by it so I said what the hell. I should have said hell no! I have now proven my theory, my skin does not like AHA or any other harsh products for that reason. My Mother has sensitive skin and so do I, makes sense right? SO I am changing my regimin. I do not like to where face make up because at the end of the night its gotta come off. I want to feel pretty in my own skin not a waxy cover up.
             I did some research on other options like benzyl peroxide which does work wonders on my skin but! It can cause cancer. And lets say the study is malarkey, who wants to play with cancer? So many chemicals go into what we eat and wash with and I am saying No More.
            After researching what causes a zit, whiteheads, black ones, and Cystic ( yes gross I know!) I then searched organic, natural alternatives. In my search I discovered Tea Tree oil, it mimics what Benzyl peroxide does. It disinfects working deep in the poor. Jojobo oil, which is molecularly similar to a humans natural sebum, was another discovery. And finally, cytic zits, often treated with harsh medicines like acutain, Retin A, and other perscriptions, are caused from internal toxins, amoung other things. So I am going internal with Apple cider vinigar. Its going to be so gross but if I get all the benefits I don't care. If you would like to know more on ACV,click here & Here.
       So today I went to my local health store. BJ's health food store if your a desert rat like I and bought. This:

The little spray bottle on the right. ( JoJobo oil)

Which says 

Jojoba Oil comes from the seed of a desert bush yet it’s molecular structure is very similar to human skin oil… or sebum. It penetrates the skin down the hair follicle and also through the pores, coats the cell membranes and inhibits moisture loss. It has Vitamin E as a natural component to slow down the aging process. Jojoba Oil dissolves the wax form of sebum so it opens the skin allowing toxins out and oxygen in as well as allowing the natural oils to the surface of the skin. Jojoba Oil comes in two grades: Golden, which is yellow in color and Filtered (or Refined), which is virtually water, white in color.
Golden Jojoba Oil is heavier and penetrates more slowly. This is a good quality for symptomatic relief of skin problems like psoriasis, seborrhea, cradle cap, acne, rosatia, eczema and very dry skin.

I will let you know the surprise later, After I get it!

My birthday wish list! Revisited

           

My birthday is next month! I am excited to celebrate another year of being alive. Whoo! Hoo!. If you would like to spoil me I will be listing a few things I would like. I have never done this before and its more of a list so I can remember the things I want or so I will say so I don't feel selfish.   I want two books, their from a series called blue bloods. If you have not read them, I recommend them, they are excellent. Just enough romance, adventure, and originality to keep one on their toes.

I really love this dress. Get it here :Click

I like these in yellow, They'll be cute in the summer

or with the stripped dress. There from here.

 
I love this series!!!!! I am missing two books from the series ( the above pictures) It goes Keys to the Repository and then Misguided angel then Bloody valentine.... I think haha.  Amazon, Bnn, or even Wal-mart carries em.

ORRRRRRRRRR You could get me a Nook!

 

Then I could have my library anywhere! Book are cheaper and the bindings never fall off! I do love a good paper back though. But! I would never be with out my favorite books!!!!

Finally! I like this gotta click  the link to find out! Ahaha ( In chrome) ahaha.

I could wish for so many other things, but do I really need stuff?

Size reference:

As always a Good old Happy birthday is nice, but boxes full of gifts are Amaaaaaaaazing.

Lots of love!

Work! Does it work?

I have good days and bad days. Sometimes I feel like the world is mine for the taking while other days I remember I have to stick it to the man to own the world. People can be discouraging and I plan to ignore more of you( discouragers) this year... I think I need a new hair cut to start this new attitude. What do you think?

Putting peices together.

I think it is time that I make a few changes in my life.
I miss my mom.
I have battled relationship issues with my mom all my life. I am tired of only seeing my mom on birthdays.
Lets go to lunch soon mom. I miss you and love you.
Ignore what people say about us both. We will be moody and indecisive together.
