Small Spaces = Low Morgtage = Less Material Items= Less Cleaning

Here is a neat link, I got from my friends FB page. It really has me thinking lately about the status quo, when it comes to the American Dream.  My dream does not equal 2,000 or more square feet.  I don't know that I can live in as small of a space as the video below, but I don't know???

RE9 end of month review.

I had some serious homework this past month, as my term is coming to an end and I haven't committed to the weekly review as mentioned.  However, I have been religiously using Arbonne's RE9 every morning and night for the last month, and have noticed very obvious overall skin improvement.  My skin has a more even texture, it feels smooth to the touch, freckles are going away and my pores are not as noticeable. The down-side however is that I have consistently been breaking out, and it never stopped. So I switched up Arbonne products for a more custom formula and my skin is clear and good-to-go.  If you read below you will see a complete skin care system that involves face wash, toner, skin serum for day, a day moisturizer with SPF, a night moisturizer, a neck cream, eye cream, and a skin brightening serum used at night.  My skin is oily and prone to break-out.  The day moisturizer I had to stop using right-away as my skin was very oily with use of this product. I wouldn't consider it an oily moisturizer for most skin types, it actually absorbs nicely, it's just too oily for me.  The night cream is a great product, but I can't use it every night either.  I use it as needed.  Sometimes your skin just gets a little dry and needs some moisturizer and so I use it then.  The day serum is a very pore tightening product and so I can use that anytime I want.  The neck cream was one of my favorite products. I enjoyed the citrus smell and the rich texture the thin, delicate skin the chest, and neck, needs.  I had no real issue with the face wash one way or the other, but I knew from experience that I needed a face wash that has clay based ingredients in it, to help with oily skin. I also have a thicker top layer of skin that's less delicate as many oily faced people do, and so I need a manual scrub ( or a scrub with texture.) I also need an oil drying mask to help with break-outs.  So my new and improved skin care routine is more involved than I just mentioned but here I go...

Step 1. FACE WASH

Arbonne's FC5 Purifying and toning face wash.  This face wash is for normal to oily skin and is great for giving a deep down clean.

Step 2.  TONER

Arbonne's Clear Advantage Toner.  This a toner designed for skin with acne, I also think it works good for oily skin too. It has the extra salicylic Acid to really clean out the skin. I only like to get specific Acne medication through the toner and that it, or it's to drying for me.

Step #3.  SERUM: 

Arnonne's Intensive Renewal Serum.  It's great for reducing pores, fine lines and helping with texture. It has an alpha hydroxy acid, and should be used in conjunction with a SPF.

Step #4  MOISTURIZER:

Arbonne's FC5 Oil-absorbing day moisturizer. 


Step #5 EYE CREAM

Arbonne's RE9 Corrective Eye Cream.

Now it's bed time so my routine is the same as above except instead of the Intensive Renewal Serum I use Arbonne's Revelage Serum:

After toner listed above I use this serum to help with sun spots and freckles.

Then I move to a night time moisturizer that's a little richer, but it's not oily:

After the Night Repair I use RE9's neck cream:

This is so great at getting rid of fine lines and freckling on the chest and neck.

I use the above mentioned RE9 Eye cream.

Lastly as needed I use Arbonne's New Cell scrub, a chemical face mask to help with skin cell renewal turn-over, and a oil absorbing face mask for keeping my skin clear.

So that is it. Although It seems like a lot of work, it's short I promise.  If you have oily skin I hope this helps.
