Bunnies, Bikinis & Beauty

So, today is Easter, and I had an awesome day.  It started off with eating cake batter, a chocolate bunny, and Peeps. I then continued to eat pretty much up until this blog post. 

Right now I'm staring in disbelief at my sunburn (yes, SUNburn -- we had sun here in Alaska...umm, I mean Brooklyn).  When I opened the back door to let The Bud back in the house at noon, I saw how beautiful the weather was and ran upstairs to change into shorts and a tank top.  By the time I battled the garage door and got the beach chair out, I was sweating profusely and decided to change into a bikini.  I listened to music for twenty minutes before turning on my new audiobook and dying laughing in my backyard looking like a crazy person (just looking like one? haha).  Now I have this awesome glow. Woohoo for April actually feeling like April :)

Speaking of my awesome glow, I started using this new face wash about two weeks ago.  Remember when I told you that the professional makeup artist was completely and utterly disgusted by my apparently dry, horrible skin?  Well, even though I thought it was completely unnoticeable and irrelevant -- good news, it's gone!  Want to know my secret?  Being brutally attacked by a Russian facialist and losing a fucking hour from my day -- that's my secret lol.  After being attacked by the Russian woman who stabbed me repeatedly in the face with a needle-like knife torture device, I wasn't allowed to wear makeup for two days.  I think I scared my co-workers, family, and boyfriend, but, hey, those are the facial rules, and who am I to ignore them? After the 48-hour time lapse of ugliness, I began using my new products. Now, before I go to bed, I use a nighttime face wash, then scrub my poor skin with "toner" to remove all the makeup (which, by the way, is apparently buried beneath my pores because it literally takes like 5 cotton balls soaked with the stuff to get all of the concealer off my face), and then put on my old lady night cream.  When I wake up in the morning I clean my apparently-filthy-from-sleeping face with another face wash, and then proceed to put on more old lady daytime cream before applying my makeup.  

I would have said that the $162 worth of face crap was useless, but I really do see an improvement.  I guess you don't really realize how non-soft your face is until you feel it after weeks of properly washing it and moisturizing it and see how soft it is.  Anyway, me and my pretty, sunburned, soft face have to go. Happy Easter! Talk to you soon.
