Two Out of Three Ain't Bad

I have to remind myself that even doing anything at all is more than I was doing before I started this blog. I have been bombarded with life, and it is very evident that I am struggling to keep up.

Meanwhile, I did workout and stretch out – doing fifty each of the exercises. I am very shaky on the lunges. I did not do fifty of those. I struggled to do twenty of them.

I am exhausted and my house is a mess. The holiday is looming large, and all I can smell is the kitty litter I need to change, but I am instead writing to you all.

I made fudge and brownies – gluten-free. I am now trying to give them away so I don't eat them all.

I decided to really give up coffee again.

I took a bath and shaved my lower legs. My upper thighs are just now starting to get prickly. And I never did break out. :) The dry brushing and Castile soap definitely have my vote for keeping the skin healthy. One thing I have noticed is how DRY my skin is now that the weather is turning colder. I try to remember to add lubricating my legs to my mixed-bag of beauty tips, but I'm starting to think someone like me really needs an assistant... (NO! to my male friends who keep volunteering to be that for me...)

Regarding removing the six or seven dark spots I have on my upper thighs, I think I am going to try this one tip I found: Mix lemon juice with sugar to remove scar tissue and bleach the dark spots. Apply to your scar or dark spot twice daily. The citrus in the fruit along with the exfoliating action of the sugar helps to lessen scar tissue.

Of course, need I even say this? ("I'll let you know how it goes...") You should know me by now.

I am almost ready to plan my first trip to the salon for a Brazilian wax. I have recruited a couple of gals to come along and do their first ones, too. It's pretty exciting.

Tomorrow, I'll write you an entertaining article about why I've decided to put gas in the tank and drive until it's all gone this Thanksgiving...

But for now, this momma has to go to bed.

I encourage you to drink water and stretch out/exercise. Even a little is better than none.
