A tale of a slutty zit....

So, I'm sitting here sweating a tiny bit, heart beating rapidly wondering WHAT in the world to blog about today.  The fact that I had a giant zit under my eye Saturday? A zit so big it kinda looked like I got punched in the face? (you are WELCOME for not taking a picture of it!).  A zit so big and sexy it went out behind the middle school, got itself knocked up and made a baby zit close by....i kid you NOT! Thankfully the bottom rim of my glasses hit in the perfect spot to somewhat disguise it.  I had a crop to go to Saturday and not only did I wear LOTS of eye makeup to encourage your eye to look AWAY from my baby mama zit

I made sure to wear this too...

Please refer back to Friday's post of how I will be living off this glory FOREVAHHHHHHhhhhh, who wants to slap the crap out of me already?

So, Saturday Darling and I went to a crop at my pal CheekyGreens http://cheekygreendesigns.blogspot.com/.  Darling had a new DS game and Cheeky had a chocolate fountain so that pretty much was a recipe for success.  Darling ate more sugar Saturday than she has since December when we were at Disney!  Did I take ANY pictures... NO!  I guess when I saw the 327 pictures I was SURE I was going to get scrapbooked (yeah, right) Saturday I was too fearful to take more. 

Let's get back to my zit, shall we?  I was quite sure this zit (and her baby) would be the ruination of me and my social standings so I went to work on packing her bag (and diaper bag) as quickly as possible!  Here's what worked for me:

1. Wash the 37 layers of concealer off with a hot wash cloth. I heard those Zino zit zappers use heat, so that was the reason for this. I'm sure it wasn't hot enough nor did it target the area...although the area was pretty stinkin BIG, but it made me feel better!

2. put several layers of "zit zapper" on baby and Mama.  I got it at Target and it's basically Witch Hazel.

3. take a q-tip dipped in rubbing alcohol and dab periodically throughout the day.

4. wear triple antibiotic cream covered by a Kai Lan band-aide to bed.

I'm no Dr. (although my dream was always to marry one), but this worked.  Big mama and her baby hit the road!

I'm telling you, I was so lucky as a teen, I don't even remember having a zit, but then....the 30's hit and WHOA!  I talked to my Dr. a few years back and she suggested microderm abrasion.  Most of us can't afford to do that EVERY week, but I found by using the one in a bottle by MaryKay has REALLY REALLY helped.

So here I was thinking I had nothing to blog about and now I've helped a nation!

You're welcome!  Now get out there and wash yo' FACE!

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!!
