LUSH for Acne

I have tried just about everything under the sun to keep my acne at bay. You name it, I have tried it! While other products have healed my acne it was only a matter of time before the pimples started rearing their ugly heads again. It was always back to the drawing board. Until...one day while I was doing some serious acne research on the internet, I kept reading LUSH this and LUSH that. I had already formed an opinion about LUSH it was that tree hugging place with bath crap. Was I ever so wrong! Yes I don't say it often but I was soooo wrong. I figured at this point it couldn't hurt to try it and their prices are so reasonable. Instead of rambling on I'm going to share with you my skin care regiment for kicking acnes ass fight club style!!! 


MORNING
1. Wash with Fresh Farmacy Cleanser.

         2. Then use Tea Tree Water Toner I spray this directly onto my face. 
(Remember close your eyes.)   

         3. Last some Vanishing Cream Moisturizer.

NIGHT:   
1. Wash with Dark Angels Cleanser don't freak 
           your face may breakout from this just the first few  
           days.  It's just doing it's job! (If you have a lot of 
           makeup on just use a makeup remover of your choice  
           before this step.)

         2. Same as morning Tea Tree Toner.

         3. Again use the Vanishing Cream Moisturizer.

Tips: If you see a pimple starting shave a small piece off of the Farmacy bar and add a little water to make a paste and dab this on to the pimple overnight.

Once a week whenever you have time to relax use Cupcake mask from Lush. Use it after you wash your face and before you moisturize. 

When I wash my face in the morning and at night I use my clarisonic brush. They are expensive but a good investment. If that's not an option for you use a face brush from sephora it's only a few dollars and will do the trick.

Foxy Locks  Extensions

These clip in extensions are without a doubt HOT! It's like a magical fairy godmother smacked you upside the hair and turned you all kinds of smexy! Whew! You get the point. These luscious  extensions made their way to my hands from the UK. It only took 6 days for me to get them. They are made with Remy human hair and give unbelievable length and volume! They can be cut, curled, and colored to your liking. Easy care instructions adorn the back of the cute pink package they come in. Save your hair from damaging bonded extensions and try clip in Foxy Locks they feel fabulous! 
Update: I have had my extensions for two years now and they still look great. I have cut them and lightened them. They have truly stood the test of time.

Purse Problems

Handbag shopping for a purse whore like myself can be serious business. My family and I use the term to acknowledge each others shopping addictions. We have my Mom; the shoe whore, Dad; the clothes whore, my husband; the coat whore etc. While I'm a borderline boot whore, purses are my real problem. Over the years I've found budget friendly ways to support my handbag addiction. So here are my shopping tips to you:

1. Try a home shopping channel like QVC they have great designers like Dooney and Bourke. They get bags that you won't see in the department stores for months. They also  have their bags on easy pay, so the cost is broken down into monthly payments. The best part is you get the bag right away.  You can enjoy it while you're paying it off. Love that!

2. Another way to go if you want designer bags is to rent them. Thats right RENT it! There are websites like Bag Borrow or Steal. You can get bags like Chanel, Louis Vuitton, and Burberry. You can rent, buy, and sell bags here.

3. You can also try a shop like Marshalls and TJ Maxx they sell designer bags for half the prices of the big department stores.

4. If you want a stylish bag for $20 -$50 try Charming Charlie. They have trendy bags and a ton of choices!

Lastly, always use caution when buying designer handbags online there are many knock-offs out there. Do your research on the bag and website before dropping your hard earned cash.
Good luck ladies.
