Saturday With Skin Care

[brightrosefox]

Adam drove me to Linda's at eleven this morning, and I helped her make products until four. I learned how to blend pigments and color bases for eye makeup, which was a blast. Her husband took me home after it was over. Adam was home, along with Charlotte and Billy, playing an online RPG. We decided to order food for dinner from a local Starvin Marvin's Pizza & Subs. My chicken cheese steak sub with olives, mushrooms, and pickles was delicious. I ate half and put the other half in the fridge for later.
I have lots and lots of chocolate. Adam make a coffee cake with chocolate chips last night. I'm currently drinking a bottle of XXX VitaminWater. Adam and I will go to Home Depot tomorrow to duplicate is keys for me, and I'll find a keychain that will guarantee that I won't lose my keys again.

Ever hear of Hungry Howie's? They're a pizza and sub place, and they are about a ten minute walk from our house. They have HUGE calzone-style subs. Even I can rarely finish an entire one in one night.

A foolproof (not a jab, honestly) keychain? Best bolt it to your skin.

Hungry Howie's is right down the street from me. I love the garlic crust!

Rose loves buttercrust. I hate having strange textures on my crust, though I'll put up with it for her.

Now that's True Love!

I know, huh?

Besides, it's the cheapest pizza around here.

Around here, too. Probably everywhere!

Damn, now I want some...

Hi! I've been using the Anti-Element Emollient for over a week now and truly love it. At first the Emollient burned a bit, but I think that's because my skin was already raw from eczema. Anything would have burnt. I still have a lot of dry patches on my face, but they at least they aren't peeling or red. I'll definitely buy a full size jar when my sample size runs out.

I bought several samples, and so far the Pomegranate Hand Polish is my favorite of her products. I wash my hands dozens of times a day because I have a toddler (who is still in diapers). This stuff works great at softening and protecting. :)

Oh, I'm so glad! Linda is really happy that I'm spreading the word.

And yes, almost anything would make eczema-plagued skin to burn and feel raw! Honestly, the only moisturizer that has never made my skin burn during an ezcema flare was pure camellia oil. So usually, if I have a really bad flare, I'll apply camellia oil first, let in sink in, then apply the Anti-Element Emollient.
I usually buy my camellia oil from Ebay or from bulk websites that sell carrier oils, if you're curious. It comes from the green tea plant and is extremely healing.

Do you mind if I show Linda your comment?

Cool thanks for all the info. You are a wealth of information in this area!

Do you mind if I show Linda your comment?
Not at all. I forgot to mention my favorite thing about the hand polish. It smells like Hawaiian Punch. I haven't drank it in years, but the scent triggers lots of great memories.

You know, it does smell like Hawaiian Punch!
