I just have to say despite how exhausted I felt this morning when I woke up my skin was beautiful! I was expecting this stuff to take at least 2-4 weeks to see some real results. I usually have dark under-eye circles all the time (especially when I’m tired), but not this morning. My skin was actually glowing.

I wanted to try Rare Minerals to help reduce my pores in my T-zone since that’s where I usually break out and to get rid of the dark under-eye circles. I guess it’s working. My skin also seems a lot smoother than before.

I remember reading reviews about this treatment last month and people had mixed opinions. The majority said they loved it while some women complained of it breaking them out or not seeing any changes. When I read the ingredients I saw that it is completely natural containing no chemicals of any sort. The only thing I can think of is the “French Green Clay” which is an antibacterial. It was probably that ingredient their skin was reacting to because this ingredient kills germs.

Anyways…my skin hasn’t reacted like that to it. Maybe if I didn’t wash my face and just applied it to dirty skin then yeah it probably would, but I wash my face once a day at night with glycolic acid based facial cleanser since salicylic acid doesn’t clear or keep acne at bay for me.

I also read an article in the Cosmopolitan magazine about not washing twice a day which is something I did. It said to rinse with clear water in the morning and only wash at night. Doing this keeps you from drying your skin out which can actually lead to more breakouts.

Last night I bought this body wash called “Olay Ribbons Body Wash Plus Body Butter with Jojoba Butter”…Wow that’s a mouth full. My skin is so freaking soft. I usually have to slather on that dry skin lotion by Avon that I bought a few weeks ago to not be ashy since this baby has been drying my skin out. Regular lotion just doesn’t seem to work for me right now. I didn’t put any lotion on last night accept for the Trilastin SR and my skin is soft, moisturized, and smooth. Ladies you got to try this body wash and the Rare Minerals…they work wonders!

Well enough of the babbling on about skin care products…I sound like a beauty fanatic. I’m not super “girly”, I just take pride in my health and appearance that’s all.

I’ve been still working on my new website which will soon become my portfolio and web-design company replacing Vanilla Sugar Templates. I’m not releasing the site url until I’m completely finished with the site. I will then delete Vanilla Sugar Templates permanently.

Had to go to court today too…

Workers Compensation trying to terminate my benefits…

Of course they lost because my lawyer kicks ass in court so that’s one less thing to worry about.
