HERE WE GO...
Depil-silk
Well I have seen the many commericals on this product and have been wanting to try it. I thought it would be better for my skin than shaving, especially because I also shave my arms. After using this product I must say that it does what it is suppose to but I do not think it is really worth buying again. After using it on my lower legs and arms, most of the product is gone. I feel that I get the same results as using Nair, the only different is that this product is a spray. Nair would cost a less and would last longer.
If you want to remove hair with less mess than I would say that this is for you. Even though it will be a costly in the long run.
Using the product: You position the spray about 4 inches away from your skin and spray a generous amount on your skin. It should be a thick layer. Leave this on for about 4-8 minutes. With a damp towel wipe the area and the hair will come off.
I hope this short review helps..
Keep your thoughts to yourself
Now I am not sure if anyone else goes through this, but some people just feel like they have to tell you what is wrong with you and how to fix it. For me, most of the time it is about my weight. I have family members that are always talking about my weight and talking to other people about my weight. I am told that a few of them are always trying to find out how much I weight and other times they just have a comment about how I look.
Usually, I can just let this roll off my skin, but other times I just want to yell. I live in this body each and everyday and look in the mirror often enough to know what I look like and know exactly what I need to change.
Honestly, this past week I did not go to the gym or even watch my eating but I can not beat myself up over this. I have made mistakes that have put me in this exact moment. I do want to take the steps to live a healthier life and I do want to be a beauty. I can do this and I have the will to do this. I will make the steps, but I am not sure of the size of each step.
Tomorrow I will wake up to a new day and it is my choice where that leads me.
I hope to find friends that are on the same path and maybe we can help each other get to the other end of this path. Thank you for reading my rant....
Struggling
I am 26 years old and I really do not know what I want to be and where I want to go. I have a problem with starting something and never finishing it. I have wasted so much time walking on the wrong path and I really want to fix this.
Blogging is something that I have wanted to do for a while but never know what I should blog about. I have a passion for make up. I love coming up with a new look and finding beauty tricks that really work.
Although I would like Makeup to be the main focus of this blog I must admit that right now I am struggling with losing weight. I am not ready to reveal exactly how much I weight, but I have a lot to lose. I know that I need support, education and strength to shed all unwanted pounds and find my true self. Writing is something I use to love and I would like to use this blog as a tool to help me reach my goals. I figure I can write here at least 3 times a week or maybe more. Maybe I can find others that are in the same situation. I will also write about beauty tips that I discover and anything else on my mind.
I am sorry that this post is all over the place but this is how my mind is running right now. Please forgive me. I am sure after getting use to writing these post I will improve. If anyone else needs a few words or a friend in this fight contact me and we can do this together.
We all have the strength within us to accomplish any goal.
Well I need sleep now. sweet dreams everyone and I will be back soon
Baking Soda for Beauty
As many people know there are several household uses for baking soda, but there are some other beauty benefits. I have been using baking to assist with (1)acne (2)everyday exfoliation and (3) teeth whitening. I am really liking what it is doing to my skin and of course I love the price.
1. Acne - I have been dealing with break outs for a few years and have tried several products. I use a mixture of 3 parts baking soda 1 part water and stir into a paste. Quickly put in on any problem areas as a mask (it dries quickly so make sure not to leave it too long after it is mixed) and let dry from 3 - 10 minutes depending on the size of the area. It will harden and your skin will feel tight. Rinse off with luke warm water. This will help drying out the acne. If you have sensitive skin or mild acne I would do this only once every few days. When I have a break out I will do this everyday until all the pimples are dried out. It usually only takes 2 days.
2. Exfoliating your skin is very important especially if you have problem skin. I am always looking for something that will help my skin and at a affordable price. Using 3 parts baking soda and 1 part water I found this. After you wash your face take a small amount of baking soda and add water. Use only your finger tips, softly rub into skin in circular motion. If you feel that you need extra exfoliation do not rub hard, instead making sure you are softly rubbing into skin for at least a minute.
3. Whiting Teeth - I know that you have probably heard this before but baking soda is great to help whiten teeth. After one week I noticed that my teeth where looking better. After you rinse your toothbrush dip it in the baking soda and add small amount of toothpaste ( this is to help with taste, if you can handle the baking soda taste skip this).
Well I know that you can find these tips several other places, but i thought I would share what i found that works. I love that is cost less the $3.00 for a large box of baking soda and you can get so much use out of it. If you try any of these tips please let me know what you think. Remember these are all my opinions and this has worked for me.
