My Very First Facial

Glowing Skin After My Facial 

I feel weird saying this but I have never had a professional facial in my life nor was I ever interested in getting one.  My reason is because I never had problematic skin, from a teen all the way to adulthood. I never even experienced the teenage acne phase when most teenager were going through it. 

My skincare routine was very simple, wash, tone and moisturize. I can basically  use any product on my skin without worrying about breaking out.  

But over the past 4 years, I am starting to see the signs of aging especially around and under my eye area. The dark circles, textured skin along with melasma was enough to convince me that book that appointment. 

Understanding Others

Since my last health challenge, taking care of myself has become a top priority. I made this decision so I can help my body to heal, get strong and stay healthy.  For me it meant making sacrifices for the good. Making adjustments to my current lifestyle was not easy, I had to take it one day at a time. 

 As you know unlearning certain habits that took years to develop and building good ones is a journey that takes, commitment, patience and discipline. But my Faith in God and my will to survivor gave me the strength I needed to adapt and take the necessary steps to make changes.

My Yearly Mammogram

Yesterday was my yearly Mammogram, 18 years ago God healed me from Breast Cancer. Every year since then I get a mammogram and an ultra sound. In the past, as the months went by and December approached it was not an easy time for me. As the time got closer, I could feel myself starting to slowly move from a place of peace and protection to worry, fear and negative thinking.
