5 incredibly SIMPLE skin care tips:


1. Protect yourself from the sun.

The most important way to take care of your skin is to protect it from the sun.
  • Avoid the sun between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. 
  • Wear protective clothing.
  • Use sunscreen when you're in the sun.

2. Don't smoke.
Smoking makes your skin look older and contributes to wrinkles.


3. Treat your skin g.e.n.t.l.y.!

Daily cleansing and shaving can take a toll on your skin, so keep it gentle:
  • Limit bath time. Hot water and long showers or baths remove oils from your skin.
  • Avoid strong soaps.
  • Shave carefully. To protect and lubricate your skin, apply shaving cream, lotion or gel before shaving.
  • Pat dry.
  • Moisturize dry skin.

4. Eat a healthy diet.
A healthy diet can help you look and feel your best.


5. Manage stress.

Uncontrolled stress can make your skin more sensitive and trigger acne breakouts and other skin problems.

Snagged.

Snagged from another blogger, don't do these much, so what the heck, i'll give it a try - :)




Obsessing over: that it actually feels like winter is here, finally. And by finally here, I mean it's finally in the 60's.(Go Florida!)


Working on: becoming healthy. Getting my butt in shape. It's been bothering me for a while.. just can't seem to find the support, motivation, or encouragement I need though. Hasn't begun.. yet.


Thinking about: playing some CODmw3.(It's a video game.. i'm a huge gamer... :b)


Anticipating: letting Landon pick out our Christmas tree! He keeps talking about it through out every day. Everywhere we go we see Christmas trees. And I am anticipating buying all the decorations, and lights that get to go on it, hehe.


Listening to: Landon talk to his duck as he's falling asleep. He's slept with it since he was an infant. Every.Single.Night.
This is an older photo of him. He was about two and a half. But that's his duuuuck.


Drinking: a Coca - Cola.


Wishing: Theron could be here to help pick out our first Christmas Tree together. It'll be our first Christmas in our very own home. So sad he is going to miss it. But thankful none the less he will be home for the day of Christmas! 

I think from-now-on i'll post a random photo every night, of nothing in-particular really. Something, I love, find silly, cute, lovely, inspirational, seasonal... anything. And here is a random photo from/for today. 
totally cheesy, I know! I love him so much, especially when he sneaks me kisses in the middle of taking a photo. He's a goof/mush ball for sure. :)

Just cool enough for hot chocolate.

The temperature is finally perfect. I can open up the sliding glass doors, turn off the air, let the cool breeze rush in  and keep it cool enough in here that we have to snuggle up with long sleeved Pj's and drink our hot chocolate on the couch together while watching Rudolph the Red Nose Reindeer. Any TV station still playing that old cartoon is nothing short of amazing. Landon la la looved it. 

But earlier today -
We have some overly friendly ducks...
"GAWWWWWWWD, is that what I sound like?!?!?!"
I think it has to be one of my favorite thing about things Winter. Nothing like snuggling in blankets and enjoying hot cups of thaaaat! ;)
