Trading Places

Imagine seeing life through a different set of eyes. Do your best to look at life through your neighbors perspective. Each person in this world has experienced, and imagined life through a unique set of goggles. While imagining life through your neighbors eyes eliminate what you know, what you have been exposed to, and what you have learned in your life. Take a look through another pair of eyes. Each person is born into this world with different experiences, and exposures to ideas that can accumulate to their behavior. I came across this thought while being confronted with a personality that "clashed". I became upset, I decided to be upset because of this person. In the future instead of reacting out of fear and judgement, I will take a step back try on a new pair of goggles and find something to appreciate from this person. Find something to love, especially in the face of adversity.

When I wake up in my makeup!

Who hasn't woken up to a raccoon staring back at them in the bathroom mirror? I for one am guilty of this a few times a year. Which brings me to offering up the number one skin care tip that I have come across. Always wash the day off your face before hitting the hay. Throughout the day our skin collects debris, oil, environmental toxins, and that is apart from our makeup. Without cleansing our face we are leaving these dirty elements to marinate our complexion and deposit in our pores overnight. Which leads to aging, breakouts, and an overall dull complexion. Adding a cleansing routine to your evening routine gives your skin the TLC it deserves and you a fresh start to your day. Here are a few cleansing tips to add to, modify with, or start your evening cleansing routine.

• Start by removing your eye makeup with a cotton eye round, or I happen to like Almay Eye Makeup remover pads. Remember the skin around your eye can become very dry which is why its one of the first spots to show age. Be gentle, and do not use drying soaps on this area.
• Using upward motions cleanse your face with an appropriate cleanser for your skin type.
• Tone, and moisturize
• Eye Cream, Eye Cream, Eye Cream! We have got to fight those crows feet with all we have.
