My Current Skincare Routine

I've never been the person with acne. I've had a little party of zits or a big pimple, but not full blown acne. So when I would have a blemish, I was embarrassed. I'm sure it sounds a little superficial, but having a giant monster on your forehead or cheek is not cute. Especially now that I like to make YouTube videos, clear skin is very important to me. My skin has this tendency to adapt to products I use and then they stop working. As a result of that, I tend to try out a good amount of skincare products. I'm always updating my skincare routine. But as of now, watch the video below to see what products are currently keeping my skin clear and pimple free!

Tutorial: Midnight Shimmer

I love using various shades of gray. It's interesting to me because I'm not a huge fan of the color in fashion, but I love it in makeup! For this look is was inspired by a full moon at midnight. The bright white moon, the fade of colors to the night, and the shimmering stars of course! To see how I achieved such a look, check out the video below!

Weight Loss Wednesday: Week 4 Update

I gained 2.8 pounds. This is getting stupid. Not the weight loss journey, but the fact that Every other week is bad for me. First week good. Second week bad. Third week good. Fourth week bad. I'm sure this type of up-and-down can't be that good for me, right? I'll be surprised if I've lost any inches... let's check it out!

Well let me break my week down for you. Thursday was Briam's birthday. He wanted Chinese food for dinner. I had pork lo mein, pork fried rice, and an egg roll. Friday was Briam's birthday dinner with my parents. He wanted Cuban food. I had Lechon Asado and Papa Relllenas. Both fried. Oh, and flan. Saturday night his parents wanted to BBQ for him. So we had BBQ chicken wings, yellow rice, and red beans. Sunday I had carbonara tortellini. Twice. Monday night I had 2 orders of sushi. Oh and somewhere in there was some Hamburger Helper. And last night I had Orange Chicken and some ice cream. Like, what in God's name did I do to myself? I ate. I ate everything. 

Weight Goals:

Starting Weight: 244.6 pounds

Goal Weight: 130 pounds

Current Weight: 240.0 pounds (-4.6 pounds)

Pounds to Lose: 110.0 pounds

Measurements:

Left Forearm: 10.5 inches

Right Forearm: 11inches (-.25)

Left Bicep: 15.5 inches

Right Bicep: 16 inches

Chest: 41.5 inches

Waist: 38.5 inches (-.50)

Hips: 49.5 inches (-.50)

Left Thigh: 28 inches (-.50)

Right Thigh: 28.25 inches (-.75)

Left Calf: 15.25 inches

Right Calf: 15.25 inches

Total Inches Lost This Week: 2.5 inches

Total Inches Lost: 12.5 inches

It never ceases to amaze me how I can gain weight and then lose inches at the same time. I'm quite happy that my limbs are starting to even out. It was always weird having my right side be much bigger than my left.

As I say every week, maybe I'll get some exercise in... 

My Top 5: Chapsticks

One thing that annoys more than almost anything is dry, chapped lips. I can't stand it. I don't like it on myself, I don't like it on Briam, and I don't like it on other people. For some reason, it really freaks me out. Like who wants peeling, ashy lips that we constantly lick even though we know that only dries them out more? No one. That's why I'm a lover of chapstick. I even got Briam hooked on it. Which is funny because I have a "Top 5" of chapsticks because I constantly lose and find them all the time. He has one. He keeps it in his pocket. He doesn't lose it. He uses it until it's gone and buys another. How is it possible that he never loses it???

Weight Loss Wednesday: Week 3 Update

Week 3? What happened to week 2? Well I'll tell you what happened to week 2. Week 2 got busy and fell off the band wagon. Last Wednesday I worked 2 shifts, had school stuff that needed to be done, and had to take Briam to his doctor's appointment. Not that these are excuses, but that's why a video didn't go up, or a post. But the other truth to this is that week 2 had some hardships. I got very snacky and ate a ton of food. I ate hotdogs, pizza, cookies. A bunch of "shit" that I didn't need. So for the past week I've been trying very hard to keep my diet extremely healthy. So let's get to the results.
