as my sweet little boy is sleeping away in his room, i am catching a break and making an effort to catch up on a few of my favorite things. and lately, it has been the search of good, clean skin care products. i mix between a few spendy items along with good old drug store stuff. but lately my skin is a mess to say the least...so, with a few recommendations here's what i'm currently using:
osmotics cosmeceuticals 'blue copper 5' firming eye repair
my eyelids were super flakey and extremely dry. i FINALLY figured out it was the new eye cream from oil of olay that i purchased...anyways, this stuff has healed and moisturized my eyes in just the two short days i've used it. i'm a believer.
also, as i am adding years to my life :yes, dramatic i know: i am finding out my skin is changing rapidly. i feel like i no longer have a nice texture to my skin as i did once before...and i always considered myself having "combination" skin meaning oily-er in my t-zone but i am learning that i have very very dry skin. my husband laughs when i say, "my skin is drinking it up" meaning all the lotion i lather onto my skin i can feel it absorbing and drinking in all the goodness. well, it's true - i can. so for my face for some extra creamy goodness i'm using this:
philosophy 'hope in a jar' for dry skin
i'm telling ya...your skin will drink it all in and thank you for it - mine has.
when i see women that have beautiful, glowing skin...i am always inclined to ask: what products do you use? i know some are just blessed with it but i'm guessing most have their "go-to" secrets...care to share?
but, when i went to this restaurant/bar downtown {the nines} for a dear friends birthday, i decided to go all out and order my first drink i'd say in years. i ordered a mojito and let me just say...it was fabulous! i honestly can't stop thinking about this delicious little drink and all its yummyness. they even had one that had a blackberry compote for a little extra fruity flavor that i will order the next time i am there. in the meantime, i'd love to throw a little mojito party in the upcoming summer months. who's in??
