Update: it's been bumpy, but I'm trying to get REALLY healthy diet wise. Spring is here & that usually makes it easier. *Fingers crossed*

Ok. It is freezing a$$ cold where I live. My fault for moving back to upstate NY, but still. I checked - it is warmer in Tomsk, Russia this week. BTW tomsk is in SIBERIA!!!!!!
Hard to avoid carbs & chocolate & wine when it is grey & cold & shitty out.
Must remember bathing suit weather MAY eventually happen.

Should I just break down & buy a clarisonic?
I have never had a facial. I'm chicken. Got rosecea so I'm nervous. I just feel like my skin needs a pick-me-up. & I have been going in the sun. There, I admit it. I'm sick of looking like i'm from Forks, Washington.
Anyone have any glowy skin secrets that are working these days?
I'm using skinseuticals SPF
Pevonia moisturizer
Pevonia exfoliator (I hate the smell of this. need new)
baby oil to remove eye make-up
I usually do bare minerals, but I haven't been wearing much makeup at a;; lately. Touch eclat under the eyes, blush, and eye makeup when I'm working. LIPSTICK. ALWAYS lipstick although Chanel discontinued my tried & true color so thais probably 80% of my blah feeling.
Beauty tips appreciated.

Ate red meat to be polite yesterday.
Feel HORRIBLE today. It really attacks your system if you aren't used to it.
Meat is murder ( on my tummy).

Dragging my butt.
Exercise class this morning. I should just be grateful if I make it there & not complain that I am tired.
Perhaps some magical leek soup has to be made to combat this hellish bloat.

Dear Coffee,
You are dark & delicious. You help wake me up & keep me going all day. But you are lust. What water & I have is better for me. We can have a future. Coffee, what we have shared is wrong & i'm all dried up because of it.
Coffee we are thru.
(ok, we can meet once a day for a morning quickie but that is IT)

WHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOA!
Ok I just ordered some fruit & veggie drinks I hope help amp my fruit & veggie intake. I am pilates crazy going religiously twice a week. Water remains an issue. I decaf coffee it all day bc I love the taste. At least I switch to decaf after 8 am, right? That's an improvement!!!! Every little counts.....
I don't eat carbs after brekkie.
My cardio sucks bc of the weather but I'm up & down my stairs 20 times a day carrying babies.
So some good: fruits veggies pilates
Some bad: cardio & water
Some crazy: my schedule
Also: Jersey Shore is my self-esteem secret. I feel pretty, thin & sane after I watch it. LOL
:)
