Self Love Requires Honesty | #SLS

-
Image
I've come to realize, the hard way, that I've had and still have a lot of healing to do! Self Love is not an overnight thing *insert Percy Sledge song*. It takes time to reach a comfortable level of contentment with self. It's a journey; one of upward toil but one of positive growth. In our journey of Self Love, it is integral that we seek to know ourselves, accept who we are and live freely in our truth.  In seeking to know and embrace our truest selves, a process of self reflection and introspection helps. The trauma; experiences that we go through have fashioned us into the persons that we are today. Our personalities, our self esteem; the way we interact with others, our imposed standards, our expectations are all influenced by the way we see ourselves; by the way we think and feel about ourselves. It's 'human nature' to first be negative before positive and unappreciative before we see good, so in order to change our thinki...

My Current Face Moisturizers: Clean & Clear Morning Glow Moisturizer (March 2013)

Clean & Clear Morning Glow Moisturizer: Oil Free. The 4oz packaging (bottle) states that it moisturizes dry skin and instantly brightens skin. It contains SPF 15.  It also states that "smooth, brighter-looking skin" can be achieved when the product is used.  It won't clog pores. It is Hypoallergenic.  The main purpose of the moisturizer though, is for Sunscreen. Here is a picture of the exact product that I purchased for TT $38.95 at Pennywise Cosmetics. The product is a cream that contains shimmery reflexes (shimmers) that give the "glow" effect.  The product states that it is for dry skin but my skin is normal to oily. I enjoy using this product before a Beauty Balm Cream (BB Cream) or foundation to give me the dewy (soft and lustrous) effect.  It does have a light scent to it. I would recommend this cream for those who don't mind the obvious shimmers on their face and want a moisturizer that contains SPF.  It can be used both during the d...

My Current Face Moisturizers: Pond's Clarant B3 (February 2013)

Pond's Clarant B3: Normal To Oily Skin For many years I have sworn by this face product. I have been using it to moisturize my face during both the day and the night.  It does exactly what it promises. The packaging states that it is a "Dark Spot Correcting Moisturizer". It has indeed, cleared up any marks that was left by untimely blackheads.  It also states that it "Evens Skin Tone in 2 Weeks and "Reduces the appearance of Dark Spots In 4 Weeks". These statements are also true for me. Some people may be worried that skin bleaching/whitening may occur, this is not likely at all. It is Dermatologist Tested, Hypoallergenic and it Won't Clog Pores.  I would recommend that you try a small bottle to determine how much you like it (if it works for you). Here's a pic: I do as the bottle says an apply it to my entire face and neck.  I also apply it as a base for any makeup that I may wear.  It is lightweight and does not leave my face stic...
