Girl friends

Today is wedding of one of my dearest friend in the world. I've always call her my sister from a different mother because she understand me just like one of my sisters. I'm incredibly happy for her and her soon to be husband but I'm also incredibly sad as she will be moving across the country. So as I spend the day with her, I'm reminiscing about our undergraduate days, endless all nighters spent cramming, our quarter life crisis, tears of disappointment over academic set backs, and how far we have both come. Gosh, I really will miss her so much! Cherish your girlfriends and hold them close to your heart because good friends are so hard to find!

Jealousy

I'm obsessed with her skin! It's ridiculous! I'm sooo envious!

Her skin regime is something like... cleanse, tone moisturize every morning and night .... do a mask 2-3 times a week, exfoliate 2-3 times a week... eye cream every morning and night....a few drops of rose hip oil in the evening...




 

Dry skin solution!

I have discovered something that works for my dry skin!! After you shower, apply body lotion (Jergen's Ultra Healing) everywhere THEN grab your favorite body oil and layer it on top! I don't know why I didn't think of this before because I layer my face oil on top of my moisturizer. Silly of me really. Anyways- it works! It really does. I did this for three days straight and saw a huge difference in my skin.


I have really dry skin. My legs are scaly and my elbows and knees feel like sand paper. I've used body lotion for months before without seeing much of a difference so I started to use body oils. Oils I have tried include baby oil, coconut oil, castor oil, and the one I am currently using bio oil. I hate baby.Baby oil doesn't absorb/ dry well on me. I end up going to bed (I shower in the evenings before bed) wet and slippery. It's so gross. I have even tried the "gel" form of baby oil because it's suppose to be better than regular baby oil- same conclusion: I hate it. I sorta like coconut oil. It definitely absorbs better than the baby oil but I don't like the smell coconut so ya. I don't like castor oil either. It's too thick! I can't get past it's viscosity and also has a weird smell to it. Bio oil absorbs like the coconut oil but minus the coconut smell so I'm liking it so far.
