it's just thoughts and randomness

Guh. Pain sucks.
My ankle scars and breast scars have been bothering me again. Meh. I'll massage them tonight.
Never realized I could feel so much rage and fury toward one person. If I ever see that man again, I will have to restrain myself from punching him in the face and screaming, "How could you do that to her, you asshole! She's your brother's wife! You insane, sick, coke-addled sociopath, you don't deserve your children or your wife. Die in a fire. You don't deserve redemption."
Ahem. Yes, things are better; she called me no longer in panicked tears, everything was sorted out. But he had still lied and betrayed and tried to destroy. Damn him.
Adam was stuck in Wyoming (Little America) due to traffic and blizzard problems last night. He should have enough time, though.
I came to bed to find Luna stretched out near where my knees would be. I had to move her to my other side to get comfortable. She slept next to me all night, purring and purring.
I haven't been sleeping well since Adam left. The magnolia, passion flower, and Flexeril only go so far. But spirulina in the morning really helps.
My skin is so clear and smooth. I don't need foundation or concealer anymore, but I use them to just even out my tone and bring out the glow. I found the most amazing skin cream a while back, with ingredients like lotus flowers and silk and frankincense and myrrh and collagen peptides and seabuckthorn and pomegranate oil and blood orange. It's like faerie dust, shimmery and powdery. It makes a fantastic makeup primer. The scent is very... transforming. I apply it over Linda's Ani-Element Emollient and it makes my skin feel like velvet and silk.

This entry doesn't have much to say, it's just thoughts and randomness.

I wish my skin looked nicer.. I'm broken out, splotchy, oily in spots and dry in others.. ugh. Maybe I should be looking at some of these websites you write about. I can't really afford anything right now, but browsing doesn't cost anything.

Linda has samples on her website (zosimisbotanicals.com) that are cheap; I'd recommend the Manuka Mask Face Mask and the Anti-Element Emollient Face Cream for your skin, since they help with acne and combo skin.

Hey thanks.. I appreciate it!

Er, for some reason that website isn't displaying..

care to share with the class?

I'll email you details.
It involves B. and C. and B.'s brother. He has been hot for C. for many years and has been trying to break them up and make them get a divorce, via lies and rumors and more lies. He just got out of a mental institution and rehab (cocaine addiction and severe mental illness). This latest ugliness involved lies about C.'s infertility, rubbing it in their faces.

[ronin-lethe.livejournal.com]

i figured something like that.
family is grand, huh?

[brightrosefox.livejournal.com]

No kidding... I think this is why C. is so adamant that Adam and I are her "true" family. She would have never picked the one she was born to. B.'s family is okay, except that his brother is displaying the same mental problems that caused their mother to commit suicide.

All I know is that C. called me up in absolute hysterics and I almost hit the roof and I hope I never come face to face with J. again.

Is it something in the air?

Cause my scars have been driving me crazy lately too. Super sensitive and owwie, and yes, I agree. Pain sucks. Big hairy chickens.

Maybe it's the weather? No, really.

Could be. Both sets of mine are trying to drive me to drink is all I know. I have some behind my ankles, and more in the creases as it were in my groin. I tell ya, tryin to be ladylike in public is getting...interesting.

Chandi suggested it is because as a whole my skin is getting really dry, but that doesn't account for the pain I wouIdn't think. I swear, the closer I get to 30 (which I celebrate as an accomplishment) the weirder my skin gets. Heck the weirder my body gets as a whole.

Sometimes skin that is unbelievably dry can be very painful; it happens when I have a Raynaud's flare. What sort of lotions and creams do you have?

Lotions and potions

[xanateria.livejournal.com]

At the moment I have kind of an asortment. I use oil of olay complete day time, and fortifying for at night for my face, and I have Nivea Q 10 body lotion, as well as thicker brown sugar and vanilla body one. I have also been using both Sween and Atrac Tain which Chandi gets from the hospital that are designed for uber dry skin. Oh and I use a iced tea berry and mint ultra rich foot lotion too. That one feels espcially good on the ones behind my ankle.

My bedtime routine has turned into the lotiona nd potion hour wifey says. But I only get one Josie suit, right? The problem is that massaging the various lotions in can be difficult if the pain is high, and more practically speaking, I can't always reach and wifey is usually either absent or too tired.

Re: Lotions and potions

Heh, I understand that!

I recommend applying a pure oil blend before the lotions -- oil absorbs faster and better and the lotion seals it in so the moisture keeps on your skin better. Also, oils don't require a lot of massaging in, since they just sink right in.
Is there a store near you that sells pure massage oils and vegetable oils, like sunflower oil?
