Verse of The Day:

And if the Spirit of him who raised Jesus from the dead is living in you, he who raised Christ from the dead will also give life to your mortal bodies through his Spirit, who lives in you.



Something I've been really anxious to do since I joined Tik Tok is starting a live...I'm scared to do it because it means I have to talk on camera and I haven't spoken on camera since an incident that left me without one of my front teeth. I am having a horrible chain reaction from that day and my teeth are really in bad shape, this is why you never really see me speak online...it is something I'm very insecure and hurt by, I had a gorgeous smile and now I feel like it ruins my entire face. Not only that, its made eating very hard for me and not being able to enjoy my favorite foods has made me miserable. In spite of this, I still show my face and strive to be a positive presence online, losing my teeth has been a very hard thing to accept but it hasn't completely deterred me from being social. I only wish that one day I can get replacements so I can feel comfortable talking to people again.

Back in my Facebook days, I did live videos of me doing my skincare and makeup. I miss doing this and have considered coming back to doing so at some point. Today I'm going to share my morning and night time skin care regime along with a product and price list for everything!

  • Serum (this varys on which one I have available) Olay Super Serum day time (usually between 30.00-40.00), OR ROC Multi-Correxion Revive + Glow Vitamin C Serum (27.00)

  • Moisturizer (also dependent on which I have at the time) Neutrogena Hydro boost gel (my number one Summer moisturizer) (20.00 at Target), Queen Helenes Coco Butter for face and body (I usually get the largest container for about 28.00) or Drunk Elephant Protini Polypeptide Cream (this is my most high end go to and it varys between 29.00 and 69.00 depending on size)

Oh, Jazzy! I'm scared to do lives too. I am sorry about your tooth. I guess because I am old I don't do too much, although I know I should. I clean my face with micellular water and cotton pads before washing it. Then I put on sunscreen. Usually I don't use makeup. I use a moisturizer before going to bed. Ideas for older skin? i'd be interested.

Thank you my dear, I always tell people that when it comes to skin care, it's 90% of what you consume and water is a girls best friend. (I should take my own advice! ha!), there are fruits and vegetables that I recommend to everyone, no matter your age: mango, blue berries and oranges are very helpful for healthy, glowing skin. :)
