I am Me

you "I am me? Isn't that obvious?"

me "Yes but are you happy with you? Do you look at your face and think, I like what I see! There's no improvement I would make to this face!"

you "Yes, but no, my skin is all blotchy. I think I'm going to buy that moisturiser that evens out my skin tone. That will fix everything"

me "Yes maybe it will work, and maybe it wont. What will you do if it doesn't?"

you "Well that's what foundations for, isn't it?"

I don't know the answers to life, but I think its rather sad that our world has come to this. I look in the mirror and I cringe at my skin. I inspect every bump and scar. Is this really the way life's supposed to be? Are we supposed to dislike what we are? No, if you think about it, a few red spots on your face isn't that big of a deal/ Preteens and teenagers sometimes stay home from school when they have a breakout, or stand in front of mirrors hating themselves. This is so wrong. So much for the "American Dream", North America the land of happiness and fulfilment. How is this so when we are conditioned to hate our skin. You are not more successful if you have perfect skin. Your not a better person, your not a nicer person, BLABLABLA. Now, I'M not trying to bring those with perfect skin down, all I am saying is that those of us with spots that no face wash or skin regimin will fix shouldn't stress ourselves out SO FRIGGEN MUCH. We need to learn to look at skin a different way.

Love yourself for who you are♥

A pill to perfection.

The multi Vitamin. It promises so much,perfect skin, hair, and nails. But can one little pill really change everything?
I have a friend who excitedly went out and forked out her money for fancy multivitamins and promised beauty. Only after she bought the vitamin and saw no results did she then read the amount of each vitamin and realize it was not enough. This story sounds kind of familiar doesn't it? Girl sees promise, Girl believes promise, Girl forks out her money for promise, AND FINALLY Girl is disappointed by results of the all curing product that turned out to be just fancy advertising. This happens to ALL of us at some point. What we have to realize is that not just one product will change our lives but and understanding of what that product is and how we can find the best ones that work to their potential and combine them with products that don't counter act each other.

Diet is key! I'M a vegetarian (4 years this may), I don't get natural oils from fish and mammal that help with my nails and hair and whatnot. I have had to do so much research to obtain a healthy diet and I have soooo much more to do. Also I have sensitive skin (which is annoying and OMG pricey to care for hence why I'M obsessed with homemade remedies), and fine hair that gets greasy sometimes within the day I wash it. My point? If your like me this is the blog for you. I know that not everyone has MILLIONS of dollars, I know that its frustrating buying a whole bunch of pricey products just to be told "that's horrible for your hair", and I know its so difficult finding the right answerer's. Every ones yelling "BUY THIS" or "NO BUY THAT" and who knows if their telling the truth or not! Soooo many people are getting paid to say that!

In conclusion, you have my full opinion of truth, I may not always be right but at least I am not leading you to the deathly deps of DEBT!

Love your honest blogger
