There are so many moisturizers out there on the market today it can really confuse a girl not to mention make a huge dent in the ol' wallet. Hundreds upon hundreds of dollars are spent for just one product claiming to instantly get rid of this or that, lighten this, make that smaller............yea okay and I'm a 6 foot Brazilian model babe. (Hey it could happen.......).
All you need is some knowledge about essential oils and you'll be well on your way to softening your skin and wrinkles and brightening your skin.
Rose Hip Seed Oil is wonderful for a moisturizer and will instantly hydrate and make your skin soft as a baby's bottom. Seriously no bullshit here, just fact. What's even more appealing about this oil is that it's extremely inexpensive and will last you a while. I bought a 1 oz. bottle for under $5. I use mine for an under eye moisturizer both day and night and it works wonders and dissolves easily into the skin. For the more mature woman or someone that has extremely dry skin you can apply it all over the face. No need to mix it with another carrier oil. You could, however, add myrrh or frankincense essential oil to it as both these essential oils are excellent moisturizers.
You can also use organic coconut oil all over your face. The coconut oil will help brighten the skin and because it has antibacterial and antiviral properties those that are even acne prone can use this as a moisturizer. I buy mine at my local health food store. You can add some tea tree essential oil to the coconut oil if you are acne prone as tea tree is great for acne. Organic coconut oil will run you up to about $15 depending on what brand you choose.

Bah Humbug!!
Is it just me or am I the only one that loathes the holidays? Yea , yea I get the whole sharing, giving, family crap but really is that what goes on during Christmas? It's just become this hugely commercialized day where you have to out do everyone's presents by buying bigger and better ones. Then there's the extra time you have to put in to spend with your spouse's family, which half the time you can barely stand during the year. Gift exchanges that you get roped into that just suck, I mean there's nothing more that I hate during the holidays than those damn gift exchanges. What's the point in buying a gift for someone you don't even know, one they probably won't even like and don't need, it's just a pain in the ass. I mean it's hard for me to buy for someone I do know much less someone I don't and don't really care to get to know.
I even loathe putting up a tree, know why? Because it's one more thing I've got to take down and put away and vacuum up after.
I can't even stand how people put a bunch of junk in their yard during the holidays, like wood cut outs of ridiculous reindeer and santa which half the time don't even look remotely like reindeer. What's even worse, is when it's like 6 months after Christmas and these assholes still have their shit up.
I have to deal needlessly with the over abundance of traffic which equals more dip shits on the roads acting like idiots. Making illegal U-turns, darting in and out of traffic, never using a signal light all in the name of gift giving and getting. It's like go home, turn on the computer and order grandma's crap off the net already!
Then there's the Christmas parties where you have to blow more money to buy a new dress and shoes, get your nails done and hair fixed yadda yadda yadda. Why do people even bother to go to these things? Ah yes, to sit back and watch who will end up making a drunk ass out of themselves so we can make fun of them Monday at the office. Good times, gooood times. Really? Unless you're getting free liquor from your company Christmas party it's really not worth it to even go. The last company hoopla I went to we got two drink tickets and that was it. Luckily I was able to flirt with the guy they hired to serve the drinks and got a couple extra.
All in all people have ruined what Christmas is about with their pretentious bullshit and look at me I'm awesome because I brought the biggest gift to the party.
More time and money is wasted on the ideals of Christmas and not enough time and money is spent on what really matters. The birthday of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ and the spirit of the giving of our time and love to those that really need it. Helping and giving to those that are less fortunate. You should try it one year and get your kids involved too, like serving at your local homeless shelter or maybe having you and your kids gather up clothes and/or toys they no longer use and donating them to a battered women and children's shelter. These are the kinds of things that are Christmas to me how about you?

Who in the Hell is Kim Kardashian Dating Now???
Holy shit can we keep up with this chick? First off, don't get me wrong, I think she's a hottie myself (no homo) but in the last several months or so she's proving to be a serial dater. She's ruining it for Keeping Up With The Kardashian's hit reality show. I mean by the time the next season starts it will already feel like reruns to us because we already know what's going on with her crazy ass life.
Okay so first there was the dude from the Dallas Cowboys, who, in my opinion, looked like a vampire, I mean was I the only one that noticed his fangs? Then the whole Kanye West rumor.......or was it? Then Hale Berry's ex, Gabriel Audry, which when caught together at a B ball game she as well as her mother Kris, insisted they were not dating that they were just "friends", well can't friends sleep together and go out? Sure they can until a few days later they are in the headlines as "breaking up" wha, wha, wait a cotton pickin' minute weren't they just like friends 24 hours ago? Then the article I read said that they were dating for a week and things were moving "too fast" because they both were coming off a break up. Although other sources say she felt that his age (34) was older than she was looking for AND she felt he was using her for her fame. Okay, okay so good Kim I'm glad that you finally figured out jumping from cock to cock isn't really a good look for you ......ooooooh hell no wait a minute what's this I see? She's dating a B ball player now??? Kris Humphries from the NJ Nets, who in my opinion looks just like Taylor Lautner. She says he's normal and fun. Wow, really Kim, really?

You Know You're Getting Old When............
1. Your ass can no longer remember to stay up
2. The skin on your arms looks like crepe paper, (when the F did that happen? Probably when the estrogen in your body started to say buh-bye)
3. Music, any music that is playing is TOO LOUD
4. You don't even have patience for the time it takes to nuke a hot pocket
5. You think Chivalry and love is all crap.
6. When seeing a young couple "in love" makes you want to vomit
7. You start calling people in their mid 20's "kids"
8. When you decide yea, let's go out for a drink and you look around and realize you're old enough to be everyone's mother.
9. When you have no idea what song is playing on the radio.
10. When you have no idea how to even work the radio.
