I am noooo spring chicken, I am actually 44 year old engaged woman with a 9 year old son that will be 30 in December (he will be 10 but think he is grown). In the past 2 months I started this whole reinventing myself journey, since there are a lot of up and coming changes which I am actually very excited for and look forward to starting that new chapter with my Wasband (I am remarrying my second husband, I will save that blog for another day). However I am still working on healing my childhood traumas that cause my present day triggers. Any who, one day I was really going through it and when I finally took the time and looked at myself in the mirror, I realized how much I have neglected myself. How in the hell am I promoting self love and I am not even practicing what I teach?! I know right, the audacity! I know what end results I wanted but didn’t know how to start to get there. So I hopped my uneagered ass on my phone and begin to start watching this App I just downloaded call ” TikTok”! lol I told y’all I’m old! lol
I started to come across these individuals that was selling a French product call Typology! I did the quiz while doing a very bad French accent while reading through it and I was told by their site that (in my words) In order to get the skin of your dreams and this product in these pretty bottles you have to pay $200.00 and shipping was free! The free shipping part almost made me do some bald head girl stuff like use my rent money for this product with a child to take care of. So I contacted the Wasband and he is Irish like from Ireland Irish, he talks funny and everything. I understood every other word the told me when he said “You don’t need the French stuff”. I even threw in “but it’s vegan!” to a man that eats meat and potatoes (side eye) .
I went on my way to see, like really see what this stuff I really really wanted but I still have single mom money. I came across and essential oil I use to use on called Art Naturals Cold Press Rose Hip Oil and it was expensive and it did was it was intended to do and even have to this day every one I work with in the office uses this oil at night as a apart of their skin care regiment for my friends that are still having babies and dealing with melasma (the mask of pregnancy). You will think we went through enough after bring in a whole human being into the world!
When I clicked on there other products I came across the ArtNaturals Anti Aging Set but the bottles was being sold individually for $12.99 so I paid $38.97 plus tax which is better then paying $200.00 and I am glad I did, because baby this product has exceeded my skin care goals expectations talk about a complete transformation from looking dull, gray and tired to twerking (I can’t twerk to save my life). So with the face serums I started a new skin care regiment and also learn alot about the other environments we don’t think of that we should also protect our skins from.
Here is the things I use as my daily AM and PM skin care regiment.
1: Evridwear Exfoliating Glove for both the men and women, Dual Texture Bath Body Scrub Gloves Dead Skin Cell Remover.
The Evridwear Exfoliating Glove. You can also use an exfoliating pad. I like to use the Glove on my face and body (no I don’t use the same glove on my face that I use on my body) because I want to make sure I got everywhere my fingers and hands can reach. Your skin being the largest organ on your body and sheds dead skin daily. I use the gloves to prevent dead skin build up so my skin can keep its renewed glow ( yes I glow now). https://amzn.to/48uYsFB
2: CeraVe Foaming Facial Cleanser Daily Face Wash for Oily Skin with Hyaluronic Acid, Ceramides and Niacinamide “Fragrance Free Paraben Free”
I originally purchase the CerVe face wash for my son in dry skin when I started to teach him and hygiene and skin care routines as well, I figured its better to teach early then later however the CerVe Dry Skin cleanser is more like a cream which makes since to me because it is suppose to hydrate. He also uses his with his little green exfoliate glove in the morning and at night along with the AM and PM moisturizers.

3: ArtNaturals Anti Aging Set with Vitamin C Retinol and Hyaluronic Acid Serum for Anti Wrinkle and Dark Circle Remover
ArtNaturals Anti Aging Serum SET! At this current moment/time as the production of this article it has a Deal for $12.34 but don’t know how long the Deal is going to last but when you put them into you cart or save for later or if you have a Echo Dot, Alexa will let you know of the items in your cart and save for later list goes on sale or if the price as been reduced. The Vitamin C you use in the morning and the Retinol you use at night. These are the game changers to help me reach my skin care goals to the point I am so comfortable with my skin I barely use make up. I do use a CC Cream with a SPF 15 from Mary Kay if I do anything with makeup but nothing heavy. I just love the natural look of my skin now. https://amzn.to/3LyvECm
4: CeraVe AM Facial Moisturizing Lotion SPF 30 and CerVe PM Facial Moisturizing Lotion Night Cream with Hyaluronic Acid and Niacinamide Ultra-Lightweight both are Oil Free.
CeraVe AM Facial Moisturizing Lotion SPF 30.

CerVe PM Facial Moisturizing Lotion Night Cream with Hyaluronic Acid and Niacinamide Ultra-Lightweight help you stay hydrated but also not heavy so while you sleep you won’t have that extra heat. https://amzn.to/3rohEEk
These are my NEW skin care routines I started after my 44th Birthday, just two months ago. I went in at first not to expect any changes because I was late to the game of skin care and I am so glad I did. I was coming out of my heaviest moments in depression and I read that practicing self care help to have more good days then bad days. It has help in some ways that I care about how my skin looks. To this day I am working through the process of getting my teeth fixed because of anorexia disorder and pregnancy took a toll on my body, teeth and over all health. I had my son when I was 33 years old, my son was only conceived that year because I had a good year of controlling my eating disorder which allow me to be fertile to receive my blessing. Again on another blog. I too am a spiritual being having a human experience. With all that has happened in my life the healing process is everything!
Thank you for reading, stay bless message me if you have a question for ANYTHING! It doesn’t even have to pertain to my blog post. I understand that people feel alone and just need to be heard.
Namaste
