My 2014 plans/resolutions

Happy new year 2014

I've never been the type to set resolutions for myself, but I really want to this year. I also want them in a place that I know they wont get lost or forgotten. I hope to do them all, but who knows, maybe I'll come back in December and just laugh at myself. 

RESOLUTION 1: BE NEAT AND ORGANIZED!

I'm not the most organized person. I'm not the neatest person. To be honest, people that are so neat and have it all together and organized make me sick! Its like @#$! you! I can't even keep my thoughts organized! I've been looking through Pinterest and I've found so many cool ideas! For one, I'm getting a Vanity desk with mirror that will house all my makeup and hair stuff. Justin has a desk that him and his dad are repainting and maybe distressing depending on what style I decide on.

I found this one and Its my inspiration. I love the long mirrors and I think white looks nicest (minus the marble lol)

RESOLUTION 2: Be more confident

I really need to remember this! I think sometimes you just need to look yourself in the mirror and say "you are beautiful/cute/sexy/looking good" Don't look at that out of place hair, or those fine lines around your eyes. Look into your eyes and see that you need love and no one else will love you unless you love yourself! Nobody is going to say you look confident unless you feel it. Did you know, that unconsciously, our eyes tell how we truly feel? If you look someone in the eye and say "you look beautiful today!" and they keep eye contact with you, they believe it. If they avert their eyes, they don't believe you. I try and think back, and I think I always avert my eyes, but no more! I will look them in the eye and say Thank you!

RESOLUTION 3: Stop worrying about what other people think.

I really hate when people try and tell me whats best for me. They say "you should be doing this" or "you need to do that!" Well screw you! I need to start being proud of what I've accomplished. I'm sick of people putting me down! I know what is right for me. They know nothing about my life, or my mind, or anything else to do with me. I'm told ,by pretty much strangers, that I should be in school, that I should find a new job. Well I know that. I don't think they are trying to annoy me, I think they assume they are helping me. And Its always the same question, What are you going to do [with your life]? Well I just don't know yet, but I kinda want to write. I'm not very good, actually I'm pretty horrible, but I like expressing myself through writing. Which brings me to my next resolution...

RESOLUTION 4: Write more/Do what makes you happy

I really plan on writing here on my blog way more often so I can have something to look back on. I like the idea of having a log of what was going on during such and such year/month. Maybe some day I can look back and think "I really grew as a writer since then" or "hahaha I cant believe I wanted to be a witer". I just don't know, but nobody knows the future, so there.

About doing what makes me happy, who shouldn't have this resolution? If you want that cupcake, eat the damn cupcake!! If you want that flat tummy, do those damn sit ups! That's what I mean when I say "DO" what makes you happy. Something you want that's a bit pricey? SAVE!! You want to lose wight? DIET AND EXERCISE! If you want something done that will make you happy, do it, because you're the only one holding yourself back from happiness. As for me, I'm eating that damn cupcake right now! 

RESOLUTION 5: Keep my relationship strong.

Serious date night once a month. I'm talking opening doors (car and all), dinner AND a movie, holding hands, flirting, little kisses and maybe if the date goes well..... you know. 

Another thing, making out. What ever happened to making out for like.. ever! Its kind of a silly thing, but just grab your man and start a PG13 makeuot session. 

If I have more, I'll add them. I did have this idea of trying a new thing once a month. I'll think about that more. (lost my camera end of last month... I'm really sad because I had stuff to blog about in there)

Bye

My first week review of FOREO LUNA™ mini

I received the FOREO LUNA™ mini though a company called BzzAgent. BzzAgent will ask you to try products out and give your honest feedback. I got the LUNA™ Mini at very nice discount in order to try it out and create bzz. I received the device on Monday night 11/4/13 and I've been using it everyday since then. I'll tell you the key points of the device then show you my progress.

The FOREO LUNA™ mini is made of silicone to be a gentler,  nonabrasive alternative to the bristled brushes of standard sonic-cleansing devices. Also, silicone is nonporous, meaning it doesn't absorb daily grime or harbor bacteria buildup making it super hygienic!

The LUNA™ mini claims to "transform the look and feel of your skin in just 3 days". It uses "T-SONIC™" pulsations which unclog pores of dirt, oil, and makeup residue as they remove dead skin cells. (ps T_SONIC is short for transdermal sonic)

Okay enough with the technical stuff, I'm going to tell you what I think about it. Its a cleansing device made of silicone which is beneficial for me because its easy to keep clean and I never have to replace a brush head, which saves $$$$!!! Who wants to spend over $100 on the device then have to shell out more money for the brush heads!? Its more gentle than a brush rubbing against your delicate face. Its got 2 settings, regular and gentle mode. I use the regular until I get near my eye area, then use gentle. You press the power button, and it turns on regular mode, you press it a second time and it will turn to a gentle pulse.

1. Small main bristles for all over the face

2. A small set of thicker bristles for hard to reach areas like around the nose. 

3. Thicker bristles on the back are for oily areas. 

Here is a cheesey vid demo. 

But that's basically how to use it. 

Of course I take a weird pic with it!

This is how I put the soap on it before I washed my face the first time. I've found that I like washing the makeup off my face first, then putting soap directly onto my face rather than the device.

My problem area after the first wash.

after the second day

Third day

My problem area today, not how I want it to look, but an improvement.

Overall I do see clearer skin after the third day. I have no new major blemishes. My skin is SOOOOO smooth!! You can feel the difference after one use!! My skin looks a lot brighter. I'm going to continue using it twice a day for 1 minute each time, morning and night. 

I have noticed that It must be bringing out the dirt from your pores. before I use it, I have no blackheads, after I use it they are on the surface of my nose, then i exfoliate it. 

I will update in one week. Until then...

Byee!

Ps. The FOREO LUNA™ mini retails for $139 here. I have promo codes for a hefty discount. email me if interested! 

A letter to you

I don't try to set myself apart from other people. I don't strive to be different. I don't feel like I have a unique quirk. I understand that sometimes I stress my opinions too hard. I'm pushy when I should just let things go. You're allowed to have your say. I am who I am. I can't change and I'll never try to. I'm very flawed but that's just me. Love me for me or keep away from me. I'm not going to be sad about losing people who can't accept who, what and how I am. So this is for you. You may know me, you may not care who I am, or I may be somebody that you used to know, Either way, I am me. Love me or leave me.
