A New Skincare Regimen

Hi! It’s been a few weeks and I’ve done pretty well with my diet and exercise. I pulled an ab muscle last week during my workout, so I’ve been resting it. It’s time to get started again though. I didn’t realize how much I use my lower abs until I pulled it. Talk about pain when I least expected it! Anyhow, I pretty much have a handle on what I need to do as far as eating and exercising is concerned and I have had a lot more energy throughout the day. So I’m excited about that. So what’s next for me? Skincare. Just this week, I picked up a bar of black soap and have been using that daily. I can’t really say I’ve done much research on it and other options yet, but I know I’ve heard good things about it, so we’ll see. I will probably experiment with other cleansers too, once I sit down and take a look at what’s out there. I’ve also switched to using a blend of oils as a skin moisturizer instead of my trusted Aveeno lotion. The blend I’ve been using is bought already prepared, but I plan to explore making my own. It’s amazing how much money you can save by creating your own products at home. Anyhow, I am somewhat of a moisture freak, so I will definitely only use what I deem is excellent. So far the oil I’ve used has been great. I do need something different for my hands though, since I wash them a lot at work and probably won’t be carrying a bottle of oil around in my purse. Also, my face is not included in this skincare regimen. That will be the next search.

I’ll let you know how the soap and oils work as the weeks go on and what else I may find. I’ll also be exploring the Raw Foods phenomenon more deeply in the next few weeks, so stay tuned for that experience. Have a great week and thanks for sharing my journey!
