A letter to whoever cares

Dear Innocent person reading this,

All of my friends are all either engaged or in a relationship or just out of one and if you didn’t know it is so strange to see people the same age as you getting married. The whole time I am thinking “ NO! You can’t be getting married! We are the same age. I’m too young! You’re too young! This can’t be happening!” But there it goes right on happening and then it makes me feel bad about myself, and I begin to wonder. Why? Why am I not married, why haven’t I been in a relationship for two years why can’t I find even a decent boy to look at me, and when a decent boy looks at me why am I too shy to say anything to them? I need help I tell you I need help, or a psychologist. Haha. My mom is praying for me to find a husband, my pastor is praying for me to find a husband. I am praying for me to find a husband, and the said thing is, all of these people are praying and I haven’t even had one decent guy walk into my life. Is there something wrong with me? I’ve lost weight. I’m definitely not as fat as I used to be. When I look at that word fat, I just cringe. It makes me want to be sick. I hate the fact that the word fat has become a title. I am guilty I don’t think I have ever right out called someone fat but I think it in my head and that is bad enough. I know people think it about me. I am so sick of being weighed down but one little word.. FAT. Why do we have to be fat or skinny or tall or short?? Why can’t we just we just be HUMAN? I hate titles, I hate judgments and I hate people who think that they are better than everyone else and that they have the right to put someone else down! This world and the people living in it need a wakeup call. GET OVER YOURSELVES. That is all.

Forever your’s,

Rachel Edwards <3 

Dry Face?

This is for all you dry-skinned girls out there (like me).

These two products are AH-MA-ZINNNNG for girls with dry skin. I have always suffered with dry skin, especially in the winter. My face gets really dry right around my nose and on my forehead. This winter has been the worst so far, my skin was so dry it was kind of flakey. So I went out in search of moisturizers. I tried target and it burned my skin, so I got the sensitive skin type and it still burned, I tried taking half an avocado some honey and milk and putting it on my face, and that was just way too time consuming, plus it felt weird. Now I am not a person who will go out and spend more than $50 on makeup and skin products, but for this I splurged and it was SOOOO worth it. They are both Lancome products, I know, you don't have to tell me twice, Lancome can get really pricey, but the quality of their products is amazing. I got a morning cream, and a night toner. 

 Tonique Confort

Comforting Rehydrating Toner

 $25 - 6.8 oz.

 

 

This one smells so good, kind of a floral just clean smell. It feels so nice on my face, if you have dry skin like I do you know what a nice cool liquid can feel like.. amazing. The second I put this on my face my skin felt healthier, it was like giving my face a big glass of water. It literally just takes a small dot the size of a dime I just put it on a cosmetic sponge and work it all over my face. It cools and hydrates and leaves your face feeling fresh.

 

 

 

Bienfait Multi-Vital SPF 30 Cream

High Potency Daily Moisturizing Cream

Vitamin Enriched UVA/UVB SPF 30 Sunscreen

 $45 - 1.7 oz.

 

This is the one I use in the morning. It has built in sunscreen which is great. I usually put it on before I put my makeup on. It is not a soothing as the other cream but it works really well. Of course in the morning my face is nowhere near as dried out as it is a night so it doesn't need much. I just dab a little pinch onto a cosmetic sponge and lather is all over my face and it cools and hydrates it before I put all my makeup on. 

Both of these are great purchases, they are kind of pricey , but I think that they are totally worth it. For just about 80 dollars you have a nice moisturizers for your face.
