Facebook Pictures

I hope everyone had a wonderful weekend! Mine was great, I went down to San Diego again and had a really beautiful Saturday. The weather was perfect! I had lunch at an italian bistro, and later went out for drinks at a bar called El Camino.

In other news, my laptop is almost fixed. I'm so relieved because I didn't want to buy another one, at least not just yet. Hopefully I get it back within the next couple of days.

This will be a short post, but I wanted to show you some pictures that I have on my Facebook page. I used to take my camera with me everywhere I went, and now I only use it for blogging purposes. Such a shame! I need to start taking my camera along with me, because I love documenting happy moments. All of these make me smile.

I'm really looking into getting a new camera. What do you girls recommend? I want something with amazing picture quality, yet small and portable. Any suggestions would be appreciated!

Skin Deep

This past year, I have resolved to start taking better care of my skin. My love affair with cosmetics has taken a back seat, and now skincare has slowly become a top priority. The skin of a twenty-something is frustrating; I still get occasional breakouts, and I still have to deal with my oily t-zone. I also have noticed some lines forming between my eyes, and my skin seems to be more sensitive overall. I'm stuck between the remnants of a teen, and yet grasping with the fact that I'll be thirty in no time flat.  Oh, the best of both worlds ;)
Here are the products I'm currently using (and loving) to take good care of my skin's schizophrenic needs.

Cleansers

I use Cetaphil daily because it's so gentle. I use the generic CVS version of Neutrogena's Oil-Free Acne Wash once or twice a week, especially when my face starts feeling congested. I've used Neutrogena since I was 12, so I find it unbelievable that it still works for me now that I'm in my twenties.

Makeup Removers

Neutrogena Oil-Free Eye Makeup Remover, Neutrogena Night Calming Face Wipes, Target generic version of L'oreal Makeup Remover

Moisturizers

Clinique Dramatically Different Moisturizing Gel, Mac Fix +, Kiehls Creamy Eye Treatment with Avocado

Exfoliators

Philosophy Microdelivery Mini Peel Pads and Biore Pore Unclogging Scrub. I use the pads twice a week at night, the scrub once a week.

Sun Protection

CopperTone Oil Free Sunscreen, SPF 30. It doesn't clog pores and blends right in to skin so it doesn't leave a greasy residue. This stuff is amazing! Even the boy likes it.

What do you girls love to use? I hope it works well for you! The older I get, the more I realize how important our skin is. If you have any questions on any of the products I use, ask me below!
