Can skin care products really change your life?

I have been using a new skin care line and loving the results so far!! The line is by Topix, and I was inspired by Dr. Cynthia Bailey's blog. I feel like these products deserve their own post so I am going to wait on my reviews.

I found Dr. Bailey's blog a few weeks ago and read her post on SD in your ears (sorry if this is TMI). I have struggled with this since Sydney was born (almost 7 years), and had almost constant itching in my ears. I have seen my derm more than once as well as my PCP and tried no fewer than four different prescriptions to stop the itching. Things have improved it, but nothing has truly taken it away. Imagine my surprise when Dr. Bailey told me it could be helped with products from the drugstore! Since following her advice, my ears have improved more than with any of the Rx's. There is no longer a constant itching in my ears, which in turn has improved my mood, self esteem, and quality of life. I am so happy I found her website!!!

Heading Home

So, Johnny got a job! He was actually offered two jobs, and is going to have to choose. It doesn't matter to me which one he chooses because they are both in BOSTON!!!! Woo Hoo!!! I could not be more proud of my Ferris! And I love knowing where we will be what we will do etc!! No we just need to find a place to live, schools for the kids, and find out where I'll be working! After the last year and a half- no problemo!!!!

Get Over Yourself

Ok, so a friend from high school posted as her facebook status the other day that she wished FB had a 'get over yourself' button! I 'liked' it along with everyone else we know because the truth is nobody is perfect. And the harder you try to appear perfect, it only makes the rest of us wonder what you are trying so hard to hide.

So at the risk of getting the goy button pushed on me- there is something I need to say. My life is far from perfect- I'm a thousand miles from my family, my former hotness has gone down the tubes, there are toys wherever you look in my house and I may never catch up on laundry. But you know what, y'all? I'M HAPPY! I'm so happy. Right now in this moment. I love my God, my husband, my children and my life to the absolute depths of my soul. Being a Mom has given me more joy than I ever thought possible and this extended vacation that my family has been on for the last year and a half has made us stronger, closer, better. So click away- because life is so, so good and I just needed to say it out loud!
