Daily Facial Skin Care Treatment

I have really good skin.  Really, my face is pretty good.  I have better skin now than when I was younger.  Behold, very rare photos of me without make up.

I like to spend more money on skin care than makeup.  My thought process is, I would rather take care of my body then it get uglier and I have to buy more makeup to cover it up.  Some people are born with great skin and I am not one of them.  The dark circles under my eyes isn't anything I can fix.  I already got the hallows of my eyes filled in with injection fillers but the discoloration is still there.  Considering how bad my face could be, I'm doing a good job.  No acne, usually, minor blemishes, and super soft.  My cheeks feel like a baby's butt I swear.  

So I thought I would share my facial skin care daily routine.  I do this EVERYDAY because I am dedicated to someday being homecoming queen.  

Morning:

Step 1 - The Body Shop Aloe Gentle Facial Wash  

Step 2 - Shiseido Benefiance WrinkleResist24 Day Cream  SPF 15

I just want to mention here the SPF.  I used to never want to have SPF because I am so pale I need some color!  Until I realized sun makes your skin lose elasticity.  I don't want any jowls and saggy boobs when I'm older so I have learned to embrace my porcelain skin.  

Step 3 - Shiseido Benefiance WrinkleResist24 Eye Cream 

 That little spatula there is to get the cream out of the jar without putting your germy fingers in it, genius I know.

After all this I only put on a power foundation, since my skin feels so good I don't want to ruin it with liquid foundation.  I can never get liquid foundation to ever match my skin tone anyways so I always get my face a totally different tone than the rest of my body.  Be looking like Joker.

Evening:

Step 1 - Proactive Renewal Cleanser

I know Proactive says to use their stuff in the morning and the evening, but that dried out my skin too much.  

Step 2 - Proactive Revitalizing Toner 

I only use toner every other day so my skin doesn't get dry patches.

Step 3 - Proactive Repairing Treatment

Step 4 - Josie Maran 100% Pure Argan Oil

This one was a game changer, my face is so much softer since I've been putting this on my face before bed.

Step 5 - Glam Glow YouthMud

This is a mask I only use once a week.  Proactive has a face mask, but I don't use it because I like this one way more!

Step 6 - Shiseido Benefiance WrinkleResist24 Eye Cream 

I put this one on morning and night because I don't want crows feet.  

After all of this is done then I can finally go to sleep.  Even nights I go out drinking, I will drunkenly pamper my face before I pass out.  And then wake up sad I dehydrated my skin so much.  Remember, water is the best thing you can give you face.  

Step 7 - Hydrate! 

Resolutions

Welcome to 2014.  Are you ready?  Let's hope it is a good year.  2013 was a very full year.  Let's see how I did with my resolutions.  

Read 22 books

Nope, didn't accomplish this but it is a good goal and I tried. 

1. Animals in Translation 

2. The Dance of Anger 

3. Healing Sex (reading)

4. Different Seasons (reading)

5. Mockingjay 

6. Peter Pan 

7. The Secret 

8. Science Fiction shorts (reading)

9. Promiscuities (reading)

10. Wither

19. Etiquette (reading)

Speak French on a conversational level

Well I've been using the Doulingo application for a little while.  Je suis une mouche. That is a sentence I learned today.  I am a fly.  So if I ever end up in France, and become a fly, then yes I can converse. 

Improve guitar skills

Not sure if I really did this, though I played a little.  Guitar is just a hobby. 

Improve bass skills

Same can be said for the bass guitar. 

Improve ukulele skills, memorize ukulele chords

I have learned some more ukulele, I have memorized chords, and I played it more than guitar.  Because it is easier and I am lazy about playing music. It is just a hobby.  

Learn some violin

Look, me and the violin don't get along well.  

Lose 10 pounds

Lost 20 pounds actually. 

Get under eye surgery 

I sure did. 

Get on a good amount of ADD medication

Yep, 15 mgs of Adderal, and no I won't sell it to you.  Please stop asking. 

Go back to college

I did this and got my Associates!

Keep Thunder and Blizzard alive

I half did this.  Blizzard is dead (as I have mentioned 1000 times before) but Thunder is still kicking. 

Set up payment on Mom's parent plus loan

Nope, didn't do this.  But Mom is filing bankruptcy and said not to worry about it.  

Get rabbit tattoo

I got my tattoo! It looks great. 

Cut back on smoking

I sure have! Only about 1-3 cigarettes a day. 

Help David get custody of Emma Leigh

This one isn't really my fault.  I tried but it's more David's thing than mine. 

Learn how to text in Japanese

I didn't do this because I found it minor and wanted to work on other projects. 

So, goal wise I did okay.  Here are my 2014 New Years Resolutions.

Keep Thunder, Leopold Stokowski, and Penelope alive. 

 Preferably keep Howdy, my hamster, alive as well.  But, his brother, Robert Brown Butt, just died last night.  So, I'm weary.  But I hear Howdy running in his wheel right now.  He's a great ham.  :D 

Get a good paying job. 

I need a new job and it's kind of exciting because where I was working before I was barely making it.  Now, I can aspire to make money to live comfortably!  I wanna make like $20 an hour.  So I'm looking for a real good job, doing something I enjoy.  

Do yoga 5 days a week

I really enjoy the yoga I do, and I better keep it up!

Blog once a week

I know, This is ambitious.  Resolutions are supposed to be ambitious.  So, blog once a week.  Yep.

Write 1000 words 5 days a week.

Whether I'm writing a blog post, or working on my story (today I've done both) I want to write at least 1000 words.  I've reach ed my quota for today.  Just need to keep it up!

Maintain a weight of 110-115 pounds.

I don't want to get sickly skinny, but I like being a smaller size.

Read 15 book.

I used to try to read my age in books, I started this when I was 15.  For the last seven years I've kept this goal but as I get older I have to read more books and have less time to do it.  I don't want to set myself up to fail.  So, 15 books will be my standard yearly goal.  Last year I only finished 11, though I am in the process of reading a bunch more, so 15 is a good goal I believe.   

Go to Venice. 

I Kickstarted a book called A Rabbits Guide To Venice.  When I got it Buzz agreed to go with me to Venice sometime in early August — between both of our birthdays.  I look forward to this because I have never been to Europe and i don't want to put it off any longer.

Foster and adopt out 2 rabbits.

Sometimes it is hard to get a bun bun adopted.  But, 2 is a good goal. If the rabbits aren't cute they are harder to adopt out — which is stupid — but I'm sure there are good people out there who would adopt a white red eye bunny.  

Polish up my documentary for House Rabbit Network.

I went to Massacucettes to film a documentary about HRN for my film class.  HRN would like to have a copy to use as an informative tool, but I want to improve it first.  I've only taken 1 intro to filmmaking class, but I want to do the best I can.

Figure out where I am going to live in June. 

When this lease is up in June I'm not sure where I should live.  David wants to move back to Mississippi so I need to find a roommate or move elsewhere or something.  I got 5 months to figure it out.  

Practice French for 10 minutes everyday.

Woo Doulingo!

Practice fine art once a week

Painting, drawing, whatever.  Just make art.

Make a comic four times a week.

My Dystopian Nuclear Holocaust has been lacking because I needed a stylus, but I bought one today so let's hope I keep with it.

I guess that is good for now.  I have other things I want, you know, find a significant other, go to some fly (mouche) concerts, get my Blizzard tattoo, rock and roll, stuff like that.  But I always have wants for love, music, and body modifications.

Happy New Year I hope we all have a great year!
