MARIO BADESCU

Alright...this is about to be the most unrelated post to this blog you'll see for a while but... just incase anyone cares...

I got Mario Badescu skin care samples in the mail today. They are a NY located skin care company that's been running for 40 years. Pretty pricey but highly recomended especially by celebrities (hence the price).
I got the samples free from: http://www.mariobadescu.com/
Under the consulting tab, filling out the questionare and making an account, I was sent an e-mail asking me if I wanted samples. Who doesn't? No shipping? DUH!

So here's what I got:

Enzyme Cleansing Gel (cleanser)
Special Cucumber Lotion (toner)
Collagen Moisturizer (SPF-15) (day-time)
Drying Cream (acne) *I will be using this at night*
Healing & Soothing Mask (mask/acne) *2-3 times a week at night*

I really wanted the Buffering Lotion and the Drying Lotion, both products for acne but it seems as though they do not give samples for that so it might be a full price product for me :P Regardless I'm using these now as I speak so wish me luck!

(On the side to this unrelatedness... my band has now officially fallen out. But maybe I'll have more time for photos this way?)

Edit: I went to Ulta the other day and bought the Acne Repair Kit!!! The Drying lotion is AMAZING!
        I also got the silver powder which i've only used once so far so i'm not sure how that's working. I may try steaming my face before I use it next time. Anyways...my skin is clearing up!!!

You ever have one of those weeks...

 ...or months...

 ...where the mood is ever changing.
Happy, sad.
Greatful, selfish.
Uplifted.
Destroyed.

I know you have. And so am I. Although up to now it's been daily.
Honestly I must say I in no way believe it has to do with being a teenager.
If it does, and I am wrong, (which may I offer up; could be very likely), then I believe we have an excuse.
Although I don't believe in excuses. There's no such thing. It is what it is and they can choose the way they'd like to take it. But regardless... being a teenager; you are stuck. You can't choose for yourself. You can't say what you want to say because it will be taken with great pain, (I suppose this is what happens when we all become so sensitive that the truth begins to kill).
And yet... we are told to grow up. Think for ourselves. Do something.
How?
~break rant here~

Ups and downs.
I tell myself "you have nothing to be upset over. Be happy. Your life is colorful and loud."
And I still manage to find ways to tone it down and crush it. Smother it in grey.
I'm done with this.
Let me be done with this.
Get out of my way, and make room for sunshine.

That's what you tell them. That's how.
"Get out of my way, and make room for sunshine."

It's cold and wet here. I loove rain. But i don't like cold winter-like days. It's worse since it's this early in the year (p.s i'm in love with Autumn). Oh well. I have good food!

On the right, thats Oolong (best tea!) with orange blossom honey, and the "petals" from my little mini orange.

...Simple Confusion...

Those moments when you have everything to do, but the only thing you can do is stare at the sky...
     I have those a lot.

The sky has so much feeling. So MANY feelings. And at the same time it's so simple.
It's got me thinking... I sort of wish I was like the sky.
Simplier. And yet more obvious in emotion.
But I guess this is what I get for being a girl.

And now that I've freaked you out with my sappy moment.
Here are some photos of the sky from my last mini-vacation:

My words of advice:
     Go get a vacation.
     Anywhere away from where life reminds you of how you can't keep up.
     Keep it simple. Easy. At your own level. Treat yourself :p
As much as I love my family... vacations are difficult with them.
Hehe

Welcome?

HEY!

Hi? 

Hello?

Well this is the first post of my new blog so I'm going to choose to tell you what it's about. It's basically about Flickr. Tee-Hee ^_^ Most of it will be about my photographs, why I haven't put pictures up (aka:my random life), or other people photo's.

Regardless...I hope you enjoy. I hope people are interested. And I hope you share this with your friends.

Have a good Weekend!
