No longer an insecurity

A while back when I did the 30 day challenge, I had to tell what my biggest insecurity was. I picked my skin, which used to have a mind of its own. Dry in one place, acne in another, and I would get really bad underground pimples sometimes.
A few months ago, a new manager started working at my Starbucks. He used to work for Lush, which I always associated with weird smelling stores and bath bombs.
One day during my lunch break, I went across the street to the nearest pharmacy and bought some face moisturizer. When I came back, my manager went on this huge rant about the moisturizer I just bought and what it's really doing to my skin. He started quizzing me on my skin type and two days later I had a bag full of samples from Lush.
I noticed right away how amazing the moisturizer was, it left my skin feeling just the right amount of moisturized, and the cleanser was heavenly. I went in to Lush as soon as the samples ran out to buy full sized versions. While I was in the store, a sales associate recommended a toner to me as well. This was where I started seeing a real big difference! I was at about 2 weeks into the new skin regimen and I was already seeing a huge improvement on the amount of acne, and my skin was no longer dry, ever! Once the toner started to really kick in a week later, I couldn't stop smiling! I actually could not believe it! My skin is the best it's been since before I started wearing makeup!
Right now I have 2 pimples, which to me is freaking incredible. Today I spent the entire day wearing no foundation, and it felt incredible. I love my freckles, but I always had to cover it up along with the acne.

I think the second best part is that the products I have are completely vegan friendly, and SO natural!

What I use:
Cleanser : Angels on Bare Skin
Toner : Breath of Fresh Air
Moisturizer : Imperialis

I'm about to try out their hair care as well, so I'll let you guys know how that goes!

Movie Star

It might be because I just went to see the new movie Bridesmaids with some girlfriends, but lately I can't help but feel like I'm in a movie. The beginning of a movie though, where the main character is single, with the best girlfriends just going about her average life. Nothing special is happening to her yet, but the audience knows that something good is coming.

I know something special is coming. I don't know what it is, but my movie will have a happy ending.

VEG VEG VEG

Today I had the ultimate veg day! It started with an awesome TRX session, followed by a quick shower, then a perfect trip to VEGFEST 2011! An event where people don't look at you funny when you say you are vegan, and all of the goodies and treats are vegan friendly. Man, momma bought the family soo many cupcakes!!
I finished off the day by making a big pot of quinoa (keen-wah) for my dinner tonight, and leftovers for the rest of the week.
Perfect perfect perfect!!
