HOW TO WEAR MAKEUP AT THE GYM.....

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

1. Remove your makeup!

If you are like me, you go after work, during work...anytime you can fit it in.

Working out with foundation on WILL clog your pores and create blemishes. I carry Burts Bees all natural face cleansing wipes in my gym bag.  

 

2. Use a tinted moisturizer with SPF (oil free is an extra plus).

 

3. Skip the foundation all together.

The tinted moisturizer will give you some color and even out your skin tone. If you must ( I MUST ) you can apply concealer to your blemishes lightly.

 

4. Apply a waterproof eyeliner/mascara to give some life to your eyes.

(We are not tryin' to look like zombies... we DO want SOME makeup on)

The waterproof will ensure all that sweat won't leave you will smears of black all over your face.

 

5. To help control oil production and give yourself a little more color and evenness, apply a tinted mineral veil all over your face.

 

6. Put on a smile (Cheesy, I know). Working out gives you endorphins which makes you happy, so... SMILE, YOU ARE BEAUTIFUL.

Chemical Peels

 

(I know the lighting is different,

 this was the only full face before picture I took that day)

 AND I have eyeliner and mascara on in the after picture... This was just for me to see if the Perfection Lift (IMAGE) would work for me.

For about two years now I have been battling the much hated hormonal acne that almost everyone I know gets in their late twenties, early thirties.

 

I have tried everything.

 

When I was in esthetics's school, I started using the IMAGE skincare line and felt I saw a big difference. But I still had these little hard bumps and scarring from old acne. :(

 

ALSO I was not religious with a daily skincare regime either. I was still just doing whatever, whenever I felt like it. Just like 90% of the population, I would go to bed with makeup on, not change my pillow cases, and of course, was not getting enough water in my system.

 

So fast forward a year later....

(BEFORE)

 

 THIS HAS TO BE FIXED!!!!!

 

I can't be recommending this amazing skincare line to my clients if I have pizza all over my face! About a week ago, my IMAGE skincare representative came to town for an event my spa hosted. She suggested to do the "Perfection Lift" to really resurface my skin, slough away all that dead skin cell layer that is trapping the acne, and creating the bumps. 

So I tried it! 


(DURING)

 

 

 

Here's what I should expect over the next 6 days.

 

Day 1-2 Skin is tight and shiny

Day 2 Skin is reddish brown in color, due to pigment lifting

Day 3, 4, 5 Skin is peeling

(the perfection lift treatment results in a
substantial amount of peeling & flaking)

Day 6 Skin begins to heel

(Day 2)

(DAY 3, 4, 5)

 

After this picture my active acne, red spots and blackheads had pretty well cleared up. But because of the nature of this peel, I started to break out again in about 2 days. Chemical peels remove the first layer of your skin, allowing the acne that is under the surface of the skin to come out. I plan on doing a series of three of this peel. I will post the after picture, after the 3rd peel.



There are many different types of peels. From acne, wrinkle, lightening to organic peels that are safe for even pregant women to benefit from. This peel was the "Perfection Lift" from IMAGE skincare. The line that we use at the Day Spa I work at.

 

 

 

 

 

30 Before 30 - Get a new Boxer puppy

We are so excited I have our new addition to the family! Now, I can't say how the cats feel about this....

                           But... 

                  Welcome Tucker!!! 

He's a super sweet guy from Fulton Missouri! He was in a litter of ten pups! That's a lot for a boxer. He was 8 pounds(??) when we got him. 

This is me, Tucker, his dad and other little brothers and sisters. 

We have had boxers before. My husband had a boxer already when he met me and when he past away we waited for awhile to get another one. Then we got married and we bought Copper as a wedding present. Poor little Copper past away at only nine months, the vet still does not know what exactly was wrong. Fast forward a year and a half later and we get this little guy Tucker. :) love him already. 

He's ten weeks old now and 18 whole pounds. 

Thanks for reading! Follow him on instagram @thisboxersalltuckerdout 

I can now check this off my thirty before thirty. I will definitely be needing that glass of moscato. :) this guys a handful! 

30 Before 30 - Get a new piercing

I have been wanting a cute ear piercing for a long time! ..... Thanks Pinterest.... So one night I dragged my girl Sarah out of the house in our sweatpants to go to STAY TRUE tattoo here in Sedalia with me. (Because can girls really go do anything on their own like this?!) haha 

So I got my forward helix pierced by this guy! Lol 

It really didn't hurt too bad. Just an instant punch in the freakin ear. 

ONE MORE OFF THE LIST :)
