Sunday, Lazy Sunday

I am not working out today. I am pretty sore from yesterday's hike and need to rest. I know its going to rain today and I am totally ok with doing nothing.

Today I am going to spend some time on my skin. I can feel some dry spots as I run my fingers over my cheeks. And, it just looks tired. I need a boost! My treatment of choice is Bliss Triple Oxygen Energizing Mask. The product makes big promises: "brightens, lightens, and tightens the skin with the most active powerful form of Vitamin C available." Sounds pretty good. I pump out a generous amount of the smooth pink serum, and apply it to my whole (damp) face avoiding the eye area. It quickly turns into a foam, which tickles my face as bubbles form. I leave it on for 5 minutes per the directions and wait for some magic to happen. I tend to be a skeptic anyway, and as I was rinsing my face I was wondering if this 5 minute treatment could really make a difference. I dried my face and continued with toner and moisturizer. Then I examined my face closely in the magnified mirror and was pretty pleased with the results. My face appeared tight, bright and shiny (not in an oily way, more like a clean and shiny way). I even had my husband look me over and the words he used were "bright" and "clean". Since today is Sunday I may go the whole day without make up. Give my skin a rest for the day and let it breathe.

I have tomorrow off and am ecstatic about my three-day weekend. Happy relaxation day to you all!
