PMD

does not stand for pre-menstrual disorder, or maybe it does?!  

PMD in chinamommy's world now stands for: mircroderm, not wait... personal microderm!  a couple weeks ago i was having lunch with my mental twin, christine      

(of: Unusual Girl Studio ).  we were chatting away when microderm abrasion came up, and the fact that we love having our face sanded down to the bone (well, maybe not that far) but it was too stinkin expensive to go as often as we want/need.  i mentioned that i had seen a new PERSONAL microderm machine, chris said she's seen it for $170.... fast forward to the next day, me in my fuzzy pink robe, coffee in hand, watching GMA (good morning america) when the "Deal of the Day" comes on.  Robin is on with

the "deal of the day" came on and what do you know, it was the VERY same PMD we had just been discussing the day before and it was $60 including shipping!

 you have never seen someone fly to the computer faster than this chick did, i swear i was in the top 10 that ordered!  as soon as my confirmation email came i immediately called chris.  no lie, by the time she got hers ordered, there was a 4 week back order!

well, mine showed up a week ago, 1 day after my gum surgery.  my face was a little sore to be scrubbin' the skin off, so i left it alone (as hard as it was) till this weekend.  OH MY, go get one!  here's my take on this little piece of fabulousness:

1. it works

2. it's easy to use

3. it's easy to clean

4. immediate results

5. $ saving

you are basically just vacuuming the crap off your face!  i could tell right away that my skin was softer! i love this little machine and can see myself using it on a regular basis, while trying to avoid TOO much use!  no one is paying me to say this, but if you'd like to, i take paypal!

5 stars for the PMD!!

Want some advice? I'm more than glad to tell you what to do!!

and seriously, who wouldn't want some beauty advice from this gal...??

The other day my pal Mel: mel is the positive pessimist had a blog post requesting "MUST HAVE" beauty products.  These aren't all beauty products, but just some things I have to have!

1st up:

flannel sheets and an electric blanket!!

The flannel sheets are more of a "i like to have", but the electric blanket?! You don't even want to know the drama I created when my 1st blanket quit a couple weeks ago.  You MIGHT (if you are the Mister) call it "a full on mental breakdown with periods of catatonic behavior mixed with some extreme weeping", but then again, that's just HIS opinion.  The 3 nights without my electric blanket are 3 nights I wouldn't wish on anyone...

Next up: My MaryKay: TimeWise cleanser, moisturizer and Microdermabrasion...This is a MUST! I've tried every other product under the sun but will never again go without my MK! (NO, I don't sell it).

Petroleum jelly- not just for porn stars and body builders!

a MUST after the shower- I swear by it!! I've tried EVERY lotion out there and I really think there is NOTHING that compares. Small amounts at a time on your legs, feet and hands, it doesn't have a great smell, but when you use this consistently you'll be hooked and can thank me later :)

As far as deodorant I'm more of a "is it on sale" gal, but I like these 2.

Honeysuckle and Tea tree oil? You had me at suckle!

I like this:

it says "anti-aging"
it has SPF 20
it says "smart shade" and turns the right color-it's MAGICAL

Another MUST...EVERY day, every single day!

not a beauty product, but a must: The Mister Clean Sponge...yes it's time for a new one, I like to get my $'s worth!!

I never thought I would cheat on my Loreal mascara, but "Falsies"...

HELLO!

I like this mousse... it's a big bottle, it says "extra hold" and it has a 4 on it...I believe everything they say and if it says "4" that must mean the BEST!?

I don't drink soda so I get the 100% all natural Sparkling water by Faygo, sometimes I put a shot of OJ in it, sometimes I put a shot of something else:)

So there you have a few of my picks, feel free to share yours!!
