Shiny is good, right?
My yogurt ritual has been going well. My skin has not reacted badly and I crave the yogurt every time I put it on my face so it hasn’t been going to waste. I asked my mom how my skin looked and she said it looked ‘shiny’. I guess that is good? I said my skin was dull so shiny is the complete opposite! I think that means the yogurt is doing something! Yay! Of course, with good news always comes some bad news. The bad news isn’t all that bad, but more of an inconvenience. I left the tub of yogurt out on the kitchen counter and it went bad so I didn’t have yogurt this morning. This made for the perfect opportunity to test out the tomato remedy. I took one tomato and turned it into tomato pulp. After that, I covered my face in it. My face felt fine, which was odd because I break out when I eat tomatoes, but after about a minute, my face started tingling. I figured the tomatoes were going to work on my skin but after about 30 more seconds, my face started burning. I washed off the tomatoes and my face looked the same and felt really dry.
I think I am going to stick with the yogurt. Time to head to the grocery store.

I am one year older, one year away from the perfect age, one year…wiser?
I am 26 as of 15 days ago and I am feeling older than that.
I am not recovering from minor colds as fast as I used to.
I am getting sleepy at 10 p.m.
I like to stay at home and pet my dog.
All these are fine, I can deal.
The one thing I am not dealing with so well is my skin. My skin has gotten very dull and I think it is because of 3 things I do not do:
1) I do not take care of my skin
2) I do not sleep enough
3) I do not know how to relax
Since I am unemployed, I can make myself do Number 2
Number 3 will take a bit of time since ‘stress’ is my numero uno talent
That leaves me with Number 1
I told myself that I am going to take charge of my lifeless skin and this morning I went shopping!!!
I have facial cleansing pads (aveeno) which are great but I need to make sure I use them every night (which I don’t). Unclogging your pores, especially before bedtime, is a big must! I will try my hardest to do this every night even though I would rather not add time consuming activities to my already boring day.
ok back to the shopping
I bought
YOGURT and TOMATOES!!
This is what I will do:
Every morning I will lather my face with some yogurt and then rinse off with cold water after a few minutes.
Since I have the yogurt, I will also make a yogurt and lemon juice mixture and apply on my hands. I read that this duo helps make the hands feel baby-soft
ok, so I got a huge tub of yogurt so why not add something else into the mix?
I am going to mix the all natural honey, that my Uncle Bruce got us to help out with our allergies, into some yogurt and have it for breakfast. TA-DA! I will help regulate my digestive tract and fight allergies in one serving! AMAZING
Now on to the tomatoes. If I apply tomato pulp to my skin, I am supposed to have AMAZING, GLOWING skin. I was thinking of trying to tomatoes if the yogurt didn’t work but then I remembered that the tomatoes will probably go bad if I don’t use them for a while and I don’t want to waste money!!
So Day 1 of Yogurt Ritual was today, June 19th (I hope that is the right date bc my unemployed lazy butt doesn’t want to look at her calendar and confirm)
Woo-Hoo!
I AM READY TO CONQUER DULL SKIN!
