No inspiration!

I have been feeling so uninspired to blog. 

I have still been reading all my favorite bloggers and I feel so inadequate! 

The truth of the matter is I am not happy about the direction my blog has taken.  I guess when you start a blog it takes a while to get a feel for your own style and what you want your blog to be about and what part of you you want to share and have represented on your blog.

My intent in starting a blog was to better document my life. 

As I have said before I have a bad memory (and I'm not even that old)! 

I can't remember events very well and have a really bad sense of time.  I'll think it was just the other day I did something or went somewhere and it really happened a couple years ago!

Blogging is a great digital diary as we all know. 

But when I started blogging I was trying to find my "style" and was only talking about beauty or fashion topics.  Honestly after a few months of that I was bored!  I felt like I had nothing to talk about that wasn't already being said on the blogs I read!

I haven't been doing a lot of shopping.  I have plenty of makeup to last me years and I've been gaining a little weight and clothes shopping has NOT been fun.  So not a lot of things to post about!

I am still going to post things about fashion and beauty when I feel like it but I am going to switch things up and make this blog a little more meaty and more of a "lifestyle" blog.  It may be boring-I am going to warn you right now!  But it may be interesting!  You'll just have to stick around to find out!

Thanks for reading.  What keeps you inspired?  Please share!

Update on my Clarisonic Mia!!!

Hi girls!! I just wanted to update you on my recent purchase of the Clarisonic Mia. 

So for a long time I didn't really want the Clarisonic.  I remember a long time ago Laura of Lollipop26 You Tube fame had mentioned she felt it was widely over hyped and thought a battery powered toothbrush would do the exact same thing. 

But lately some of my favorite YouTube guru's (in particular Michele1218 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4DpTxtDAwYI ) have been talking about it again so I decided I HAD to have it!  Well...I returned it. 

That's right...I am (almost) the only girl on the planet that didn't like it!  When I posted that I purchased it Cari at http://sisterssincere.blogspot.com/ mentioned she didn't have a good experience with it either!  

Honestly I just didn't think it was THAT great!  And recently (I wish I'd seen these BEFORE I purchased) I watched GinaBinaWina99's review on her YouTube Channel (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5KWOsF39pj8) but more importantly KathySpear's (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q5ZUR_hs3eI) review on YouTube.  These are comparison videos comparing the Clarisonic vs. The Olay Pro X but there is also some interesting information in both the videos. 

My biggest issue was that honestly it made no difference in the way my skin felt or looked and for the money you pay I wanted to see and feel results!  Now I know I only had it a few weeks so maybe I didn't give it enough of a chance but I almost immediately started breaking out.  And Kathy Spear's video talks about this and why it may happen.  My skin went from being clear to breaking out!

I am in my mid 30's and Kathy Spears video talks about how this kind of manuel exfoliation is not the best thing for more mature skin. If you want to hear an excellent explanation from a skin care expert (really, Kathy is a professional aesthetician) go watch her video!  It just didn't work for me but I know a lot of girls love it!

XOXO
