I started school this last Tuesday, so if you are wondering why my blog posts have fell behind it's because I have been (gulp) doing homework! Why has it taken me this long to do this? I look back on the last 9 years since being in school and cannot think of a single, solitary reason why I didn't get my degree. Well, I guess the reason would be that I figured I would do it before I turned 30 and that I had plenty of time, I needed to have fun and live my life instead. I don't believe in regret and shoulda-woulda-couldas, so I will not look back on my life hoping things turned out differently. It does make me sad that I will be 30 and still be working towards my degree, but I am also glad that I am 30 and not 40 working on my degree. Being a student this time around is a little bit different. I have noticed that I am not so much of a procrastinator anymore. I understand the importance of staying on top of my assignmnets, as my motivator this time is to graduate with honors as opposed to just doing the bare minimum. I hope to get as much as I can out of all my classes instead of just getting through it to get a passing grade. I also can look at school work and put it ahead of other things, such as going out with my friends. I have done enough going out with my friends in my life to put something as important as this aside. It's a much better balance in my life now. I do look forward to having this goal completed. I think people get scared sometimes when something has taken a long time to complete, especially school. As time goes on and on, the goal gets bigger and loftier and people do not know how to even begin. I am ready to have this checked off my list in two years so I can move on to the next goal I have. (Small plug, if anyone would like to go back to school, UOP is the best option for adults with jobs and kids, as they work with your schedule. If you are interested, let me know!)
Since turning 34 this year, I've been really trying to make sure I am taking care of my skin. I have been using Cover Girl Liquid Powder for years, but it always seemed to break my neck out. And full disclosure, my face cleaning routine consisted of using Avery's baby wipes (which actually do remove eye makeup surprisingly well). So, needless to say, my skin didn't always look its best. So, I received some gift cards for my birthday and I decided to go ahead and spring for some better products. First thing I did was get something designed to clean my face. I ordered the Olay ProX Microdermabrasion System. This system came with the battery-operated scrubber with both a brush and foam pad, plus every day face wash and microdermabrasion wash to be used twice a week. I have really loved using this system. The beauty is that you can really use any face wash you'd like. I will probably buy a pore-reducing wash after the tube they sent me is empty. This syst...
