Are You Freaking Kidding Me???

Take a look at this news story and then come back and see what I have to say about it. Also, I really want to know what you have to say about it as well.

The Not So Rich

Soooo, yeah. It is going to take A LOT out of me to avoid using curse words in this post. These people are unbelievable. They think that just because they have run up more debt than they can handle, spent more money than they had, and have too many material things, that people should feel sorry for them. RIGHT! This makes me sick to my stomach. $250,000 a year?????? I would LOVE to see these spoiled people living on $20,000 a year, like we do, and we are a family of 4! They ONLY have $1,400 a month left after paying for everything? OH MY GOSH we only have $1,100 a month ON A GOOD MONTH to live off of, period. Why do you think I work my ass off to make these baby shower favors? Why do you think I started a blog to beg people to buy from me? It's because I CANNOT afford advertising. It's because some months I have to choose between paying rent and feeding my children. It's because most days I do not even eat until around 2pm so I am able to feed the kids. It's because the car is always on empty because we cannot afford gas. It's because our light bill is ALWAYS a month late. These people need to grow up and get a life. They need to be put in our shoes for a month. Middle class? PUH-LEASE!!! They make me want to puke.

How To Get Rid of Stretch Marks

I have 2 children. I was 100lbs when I started and got to 150lbs both times and had some awful stretch marks. I tried the Mederma, the Avon, and everything else out there, none of it works. It is a waste of time and money, I promise you. Read on.

First you need to understand what stretch marks are. They are beneath the skin. Creams will never get rid of them. They are very expensive and could contain many dangerous chemicals, which can be absorbed into your bloodstream through your skin. The answer is so simple you will be pleasantly surprised!

All you need to do is get some body scrub. Yes, it is just that easy. But, you will need to find some that had any extremely high amount of grit. This grit can be sugar, salt, mud, it does not matter as long as it is very thick. Preferably so thick that if you hold the jar upside down it will not pour out. Also, it should come in a jar. If it comes in a squeeze bottle it is not 'scrubby' enough.

Another alternative to the scrubby soap is a microdermabrasion cloth. These cloths are microfiber cloths like you use on your car or in your home, but you cannot just get any cloth, you must get a dermal grade one, or else you can badly injure your skin. These cloths may feel soft to the touch, but do not be fooled, they are like very fine sandpaper. They remove the top layer of skin. They work miracles when used correctly and you can find them online, I suggest eBay, as they have good prices. Please look around before deciding, some people try to pass off car detailing cloths as dermal grade when they are not, so be careful.

Now let me tell you how this works. Every day when you shower, just scrub your stretch marks. By doing this, you are sloughing off dead skin cells and revealing new skin. By doing this daily you will exfoliate to the point where you reach the level your stretch marks are at. Now your stretch marks will be more visible than ever. Don't worry, this means it is working. Now keep doing it daily. After a while, the skin layer the stretch marks were in will be GONE. Not masked, not hidden, but gone. At this point you can stop scrubbing and never have to worry about them coming back. But scrubbing is really good for your skin anyway and keeps you looking younger (ever wonder why men get wrinkles on their face later than women? It is because they shave, which exfoliates!), so you can continue.

How did you find me?

I am just curious to know where the people who visit my blog come from. So, if you don't mind, leave a comment letting me know how you found me. Don't worry, you don't have to have an account here to leave a comment, you can leave an anonymous one if you would like! Also, what were you hoping to find when you came here, and did you find it? I know I post about a lot of different things and maybe what you were looking for got pushed down beneath other posts, if you let me know, I can repost anything you want! Thank you so much!

Allergies

I think they are allergies anyway, I don't know, maybe I am just sick. Anyway it really sucks. I cannot breathe, my eyes water like crazy, I feel like I have to sneeze 24/7, and I just plain feel like crap. I have never had a problem with allergies or even knew what they felt like until I got pregnant with Brooke-Lynn. I refuse to take medication for it, I would rather find a natural way to ease them. I was thinking drinking tons of water would probably help, but I hate water and never drink it, so I am trying to drink lots of juice. It's better than what I normally live on, and that's Mountain Dew. Anyone have any other suggestions for helping ease allergies? It makes it hard to work because even working with the washcloths, the cotton balls, and the tulle makes me feel bad from the little particles that come off them when I am messing with them. :(

What am I doing wrong here??

I wash my face in the morning and at night, I have started eating better, I change my pillowcase every couple of days, and I avoid touching my face, could someone please tell me what I am doing wrong here? My face looks worse than ever. I will continue using this Murad crap for a little while longer, I doubt it will do any good, but it won't hurt to try.

Day #24 - Murad Acne Complex

Well, needless to say I am only 4 days away from four full weeks of using Murad Acne Complex, and I am not impressed. I will not say for sure until maybe the end of the fifth week, because thankfully they do offer a 60 day guarantee, so I will give it a week extra past the fourth week and see what happens. I know everyone is different, so I don't know...... But I do have a microdermabrasion cloth I got off eBay, it offers the same exact results as a microdermabrasion without the high cost. I cannot use it with Murad because you have to be gentle to your skin when you use it, no soaps or chemicals, but if Murad doesn't work, I will send it back and start using the microdermabrasion cloth. I know it works as far as removing dead skin, so maybe it will do my face some good. It also gets rid of stretch marks for good, so it is wonderful. Because stretch marks are under the skin, the only way to truly get rid of them is to get rid of the skin on top of them and then pretty much scrub them away. the cloth is grea, I recommend it to anyone with stretch marks, dry skin, rough skin, eczema, and many other skin problems. Look them up on eBay, buy from 'thankyoustan'. Great customer service and authentic items! :)
