Sounds good right? I have used regular toothbrushes most of my life with one inexpensive foray into a battery operated one from Target. I know for a fact I don't brush long enough.<br />
I've been told my gums need more attention. So does an ultrasonic toothbrush really be any different?<br />
<br />
For me, the regular clean option button is perfect as you start and every 30 seconds it pauses so you can switch to the next area of your teeth. That's a good two minute cleaning! My list making brain in the morning has learned to anticipate the pause. And yes, I've noticed a difference in the feel and look of my teeth! (Funny side note; turn off your toothbrush before taking out of your mouth! Otherwise your bathroom mirror and top you're wearing will be splattered 😂)<br />
<br />
The "white" option button reminds me of the cleaning tool high speed rotation used by my hygeniest. Not an uncomfortable feeling and I've done this once a week so far as I'm cautious about protecting my enamel. When paired with a whitening toothpaste it was a difference I was pleased with.<br />
<br />
The "massage" option button is a gentle gum/tooth area stimulation. Very soothing to me.<br />
<br />
The "gum care" option is a gentle motion cleaning of the gum line, with timed pulse bursts. Since my gums are often tender and infrequently bleed, I aim to use this regularly and have an impact on my gums health. I tolerated this very well!<br />
<br />
The last option button is sensitive and is a very thorough but gentle cleaning of my teeth. When I have flare ups of hot/cold sensitivity, this option is the one to go for!<br />
<br />
I have to say this easy to hold and use, not heavy, can be used in the shower, ultrasonic electric toothbrush has been a great replacement for my regular toothbrush. Fast, easy charge and ability to change the replaceable brush head keeps it sanitary.<br />
<br />

Having become more aware of my collection of makeup and skincare, I have been focusing on using products. The ladies that I am doing this project with in #Geeksandbeauties have given me plenty of food for thought in how I "hoard" and hold on to items that need to be used before they go bad!!! The declutter and consequent donating and tossing out, have been therapeutic and necessary. I am sick that products went to waste because they went bad. However, this last month has been great in the use up of samples and full size products, as well as tossing things that do NOT work for me.<br />
<br />
The above pictures show many face, body and perfume finished. Got through a lip treatment (yay me:) as well as sample foils. I was pleasantly surprised at the habit of doing my skincare everyday, so that I could use up things that I wanted to know if they were worth the money in the future. What I mean by habit is, that some days if I am not wearing makeup and forget (or got lazy) to wash my face; using the products helped me to do the basic skincare everyday!<br />
<br />
It is satisfying to see some great progress and get into the great habits that this collaboration has helped me with.<br />
<br />
Check out the ladies below that are doing this with me!!!<br />
<br />
Thank you for your time and hope ya'll have a great week! Sherry<br />

<br />
I am a part of the Geeks and Beauties group on Facebook and there a lot of panners. They have shown me how to use up what I have and shop my stash. They also have done makeup inventories. Now ladies, I have NEVER done an inventory and was pretty scared to look at actually what I have.<br />
But I did it AFTER I decluttered a LOT. I feel that putting the numbers out there that I will be more accountable in using up and not buying more makeup. So here it goes ya'll.<br />
<br />
No judging allowed :).<br />
<br />
Foundation........Before declutter 57 After 44<br />
Eyeshadow palettes before 80 after 78<br />
Eyeshadow singles before 30 after 30<br />
Powders/finishers before 19 after 14<br />
Highlighters before20 after 17<br />
Blush before 40 after 32<br />
Bronzer before23 after 15<br />
Eye primers before 9 after 7<br />
Mascara before 33 after 21<br />
Concealers before 22 after 19<br />
Setting sprays before 10 after 8<br />
Eyeliners before 30 after 28<br />
Eyeshadow crayons before 10 after 10<br />
Liquid liners before 9 after 9<br />
Eyebrows before 11 after 11<br />
Face primers before 22 after 14<br />
Lipstick to include gloss, stains, tints, plumpers, collectible, treatments, scrubs, lipliners, palettes, minis, liquid lipstick, lipstick tubes<br />
Before 329 (I know, I know) after 276<br />
<br />
Now that I am aware of my numbers and inventory, I will continue to use what I have and have fun with them!! I have not purchased any new makeup (except refills of skincare and things sent to me for review). Now let me tell you that it wasn't easy decluttering products. The majority were stinky, out of date and colors that do NOT suit me. There was a feeling of freedom and also an air of anticipation to use the cool products in my life.<br />
<br />
Have you inventoried your makeup? Are you scared to know just how much you have? Do you have a lot of products that you have never touched? Do it, if you are able. It feels good to pull out items that I fell in love with and also get that creative juice flowing again. So, I am going to NOT buy products or collect more that don't get love. It's about addiction and the need to have and the FOMO (which is bs in my opinion because there are duplicates upon duplicates that you haven't touched!) Tell me in the comments your thoughs!<br />
<br />
Blessings, Sherry<br />

Let's take a trip through my trash and see if there's any gems! I'm not a project panner, however my Geeks and Beauties friends are and I've started being aware of my collection and consumption. Did quite well!<br />

The Nivea in shower body lotion is a lazy way to moisturize my skin every day. The hubs loves it too! Ahava mineral hand cream in Cactus and pink pepper is a favorite of mine. Not greasy, no overpowering scent.Brompton & Langley Orange Bergamot hand cream (a Tuesday morning find) is softly scented and smoothing. Not that exciting. </div>

Garnier the radiance renewal cleansing gelee is excellent for when I have breakouts. Cleans without stripping my skin. A little goes a long way and this bottle lasted 8 months. Garnier micellar cleansing water waterproof. Yuck ya'll. Stung my eyes and I can't get over that fragrance. Philosophy microdelivery exfoliating wash is awesome! Finely ground, gentle and although pricey, lasted about 9 months.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Coop raw sauce essence with 100% Acer maple water is divine! Moisturizing, helps other products sink into skin. Expensive but worth every penny! (Found mine at Marshalls)</div>

Laneige bright renew emulsion. Ok, nothing special and not worth the price, to me. May Coop raw sauce essence with 100% Acer maple water. Love this hydrating essence that is a beautiful catalyst for skincare to follow. Expensive but worth every penny. (Found mine at Marshalls!) Lumene bright now But. C BB serum. Brightens, sinks in wonderfully, love to wear before makeup. Sulwhasoo first care activating serum. Preps skin for other products but is drying and tight on my face, too expensive for what it is. Glad it was a sample! </div>

Now solutions Hyaluronic acid creme, love it love it! Perfect for dry mature faces and dry weather. Not greasy or heavy at all. Dermalogica nightly lip treatment. Basic treatment, not any difference between face creams applied to the area. Too expensive for what it is. Origins Ginzing energy boosting moisturizer. Smells fabulous, gel that sinks in great. Perfect for my summer skin. Mario Badescu aloe, herbs and rosewater facial spray. Holy grail! Inexpensive, effective, and so cooling on my face.</div>

Loccitane Vervaine shower gel. My absolute favorite summer shower gel! Fresh, clean scent and soothing to my skin. Bath and Body Works fragrance mist in Beautiful Day. Very pretty summer scent, a bit strong initially but wears well. Clearly Natural Essence hot flash relief spray with peppermint. Simple and effective. I make my own now😁. </div>

I was very pleased to have finished two of the three Bath and Body Works roller balls! The White Citrus is not really a favorite and was harder to wear. I did mix all three at one time on different parts of the body and they were a fabulous mix. I am going to use the White Citrus in my oil diffuser sticks in my bathroom to finish.<br />

My Garnier Fall Fight strand saver spray, I have used every single day. It doesn't take much and I have DEFINITELY noticed less hair on my pillow, in the shower drain and even just throughout the day, where I usually find hair on my shirts! This product will be kept and used until the last drop!<br />

The Pixi Glow O2 oxygen mask is fun to use and I used it once a week amidst my other skincare. However, too be completely honest, I see no difference in the brightness or moisturizing of my face. And the price of this product is just not worth the money in my opinion. I may pass this along to a younger family member that may enjoy trying this product.<br />

The Ahava Softening Butter Salt Scrub, hmmm. Ahava products are expensive and most I have tried are worth the money. This scrub has medium grit, which I don't feel exfoliates me well at all. But it's the oil slick that it leaves behind I cannot handle. Even if I do the scrub prior to my body wash, shave etc., the greasy feel it leaves behind is uncomfortable and does NOT rinse off. It smells great, feels great initially and my feet love this scrub and that is the only place I will use it. Unsure as if I will move this along because it really does help my feet.<br />

Because of some serious defcon 5 migraines this last month, I did not wear any makeup other than the lippie. If I did go out, that bit of lip color helped me to look alive lol. I like both of these products and will continue to use them!<br />

This Philosophy no reason to hide instant skin tone perfecting moisturizer with SPF 20 was the only base I would put on if I needed a quick skin evening product. As it got lower in the tube the more it became thick and a bit off. I'm tossing this product but liked it when I used it.<br />
<br />
<br />
The Dior eyeshadow palette that I featured as one of the products to use, wasn't touched once. I love the colors and will be keeping to use as my migraine health has improved and I am wearing more makeup again.<br />
<br />

This tag was started by Haffina (her channel is below).The Geeks and Beauties group that I am a member of are doing the tag #loveitorloseit for decluttering. The simple rules are to pick 5-10 items of any type (clothing, accessories, home, beauty etc) use them for a month starting today. The end date with the update will show whether the products you used are keepers (love its) or donate and/or trash (lose its).<br />
<br />
This is not your standard declutter in the beauty world; yet it definitely helps to use and remove items from your home! I have chosen 8 products and will give you a brief description of why I chose them!<br />
<br />
The Dior Eye Reviver palette is a cool toned beauty. In my experience, Dior shadows are not very pigmented yet I am going to use this and see what looks I can get with it.<br />
<br />
Left to right back row:<br />
<br />
Organx Morracan/Argan dry oil. Perfect for summer as it isn't greasy and great to use after the shower.<br />
<br />
Garnier Fructis Fall Fight Strand Saver. I'm losing hair down the drain and in my brush a LOT. I bought this and forgot about it after using twice. I want to be consistent with use and see if it works.<br />
<br />
Pixi Glow O2 oxygen mask. I recieved this as a gift and haven't even tried it yet, so it's a great product for this tag!<br />
<br />
Philosophy No Reason to Hide instant skin tone perfecting moisturizer with SPF 20 (whew). I've had this for a couple of years and want to finish using. The pump is great and the product comes out gray but adjusts to my skin. Easy peasy base for a hot summer day.<br />
<br />
Left to right front row:<br />
<br />
Soap and Glory Sexy Mother Pucker lipstick on Pomme Girl. Very pretty color for summer and although it says it's matte, it doesn't feel matte to me.<br />
<br />
The Bath and Body Works perfume trio I'm counting as one. These are great summer scents that I love to mix and match together. Check my mini review of these on my Instagram page!<br />
<br />
Wet N Wild eyeshadow single in Cheeky. I will probably use this as blush more than eyeshadow.<br />
<br />
Ahava Softening Butter Salt Scrub. Great for all over in the shower but I'm going to focus on feet, hands, elbows the most.<br />
<br />
Here is the list of ladies doing this tag. Hope you go to each of them and see their picks and subscribe to their channels!<br />

<br />
Superior Capsular Shoulder Reconstruction and Bicep Tenotomy<br />
<br />
<br />
That's the fancy name of my surgery that I received July 2, 2018. It all started with a fall on crutches January 18, 2017 at my home and progressed to chronic pain and debility with my right arm. Although I researched and watched videos of the surgery, nothing can quite prepare you for the actuality of daily life after the surgery!<br />
<br />
Let's began with the nerve block that they put into your NECK to numb you for over 24 hours during and after surgery. If I had known I could ask that they do it after I was already under, I would have. That was not an auspicious beginning to the procedure. And the aftermath of the block is that you have an entire side of your body numbed for quite awhile and when it starts to "wake up" it hurts like hell ya'll. Like snow cold fingers times 100 coming back to life!<br />
<br />
Of course the surgery can be done laparoscopically and may be 3 insertion sites in your shoulder. Nope I came out with 8 holes and a plethora of stitches. Ok, I can deal. Until, when you are coming to in the PACU, that they place that sling of death, that you MUST wear at all times unless showering. There is no instruction manual on how to wear the thing and you are too groggy to remember any instructions whatsoever. YouTube videos were my educational research and now I can safely say, I'm a pro at this thing. (Well sort of).<br />
<br />
Let's move on to the activities of daily living, the most basic of self care; that you now must do one handed AND with the non-dominant hand. Brushing my teeth left handed was awkward but quickly learned. Toilet duties were AWFUL. Washing my hair in the shower was miserable, not counting that I had to style said hair after the shower. I had to get an electric razor for my legs as ya'll it's hotter than hades here in Texas and I am not about to walk out with stubbly legs (well didn't care the first week).<br />
<br />
One handed makeup was so not working and I will try again later, because I can't be bothered at the moment. Throw on a lippie and out the door. If I attempted mascara with my left hand I would probably have to have eye surgery to repair the self injury *sigh. Clothing you ask?? I am unable to wear a bra, because I can't get the dang thing on; so I'm wearing big loose t-shirts that cover and wear with the sling. Such a lovely sight I am. You have to bend over, hang your bad arm down, and slowly pull the arm hole up and the head hole over and then slowly put your other arm in and swoop it on and stand straight. Sounds easy? Ha! And the toilet duties? Ever tried to pull down or pull up your panties one handed? The side you are attempting to bring up will always roll and you have to wiggle around to get it all together. My nightdresses always FEEL like they are down but alas, look in the mirror ladies because that picture of the dress caught in the panties look? EVERY. STINKING. TIME.<br />
<br />
I'm here to tell you, that I have lost 5.5 pounds from not being able to eat with my right hand! So this is a PLUS lol. Watching the hubby do the laundry is TORTUOUS, seeing him cook dinner and leaving the kitchen stacked with dishes is driving my OCD bonkers. But at least he's trying, bless his heart. Having someone to tie my tennis shoes so I can walk with my neighbor to continue this losing weight thing, makes me feel like a kindergartner!<br />
<br />
I've been sleeping on the couch because it supports me best, and have a comfy spot to read, do daily paperwork etc. The hubby has threatened to move the couch in the bedroom because he can't sleep well without me (his obnoxious snoring says otherwise :).<br />
<br />
There is only one other thing that is probably the WORST problem I have, (besides constipation from the narcs), my hair. Specifically, it's past my shoulders and I would love to throw it up in a clip to let air to my neck. There is NO throwing of any hair into a clip and trying to do it one handed well, let's just say I am possibly going to get an emergency cut today. There might be a market for those of us who are rendered armless temporarily or permanently, that will help you get your hair up if you don't have a ready helper! Any suggestions ya'll? Because again, my hubby tried, bless his heart.<br />
<br />
Hope you enjoyed this light hearted whine about my shoulder surgery! Tomorrow is first post-op visit with possible stitch removal and that does NOT sound good at all *sigh.<br />
<br />
Love ya, Bye<br />

There's something about lips that look like you just ate a berry popsicle! Fresh, bright and a little sheer. I reached into my stain drawer this morning because I was feeling the summer berry look and decided to pull out the ones that have been staples and become favorites! Keep reading and I will break them down for you.<br />

MUA Lip stain (doesn't look like CVS carries these stains anymore)<br />
<br />
Rose, Coral and Wine. These are pretty sheer but pigmented enough to leave a pretty stain that look like you didn't even try that hard! Portable and simple.<br />

ELF Aqua Beauty Radiant Gel Lip Stain $1.29 on ELF website<br />

Bliss Long Glossed serum infused stain in Love $24 Kohl's and Amazon<br />
LUSH Glossy Stain by Style Essentials found at Marshall's<br />

The MAC is a thicker gel formula with impactful pigmentation ya'll! Lasts for frickin ever! The Bliss is also thicker with a pigment punch, but wears down a bit quicker. LUSH can be found at Marshall's, TJ Maxx and Five Below and for their inexpensive price, these stains actually hold their own against the more expensive ones!<br />

As I was starting this post, I couldn't help but sing the "Boys of Summer" that was popular in the 80's! My title took me on a winding memory journey. Ever had that happen when a certain song comes on? On to the fragrances that are rocking my summer world.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Pacifica Tunisian Jasmine Lime perfume $17.50 rollerball<br />
<br />
<ul class="a-unordered-list a-vertical a-spacing-none" style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #949494; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; margin: 0px 0px 0px 18px; padding: 0px;">

I did some searching because I can't find the regular bottle for sell anywhere! However, I found the rollerball on Amazon. I am not an overly fruity/flowery scent lover. This has just the right amount of spicy undertone to carry this through and although it doesn't have super long lasting power, it's perfect for refresh sprays!</span></li>

Just reading the scent notes is exciting; however, when you get a whiff of this, it's pure magic! I literally got sprayed with this in Dillards one Christmas and that was all it took to buy a bottle. It takes a little spray and the scent lasts a long time. This bottle has been going over a year.</div>

This is a citrus aromatic fragrance for both men and women. Top note is lime.Middle notes are green:tropical fruit, fig and sugarcane. Base note is tonka bean. Browsing in Neiman Marcus and the first thing that grabbed me was the beautiful bottle. Then I sprayed some on the tester card and it was love at first smell! This category of fragrance has 4 or 5 other concoctions that will suit many different tastes.</div>

IT Cosmetics CC+ Illumination SPF50<br />
<br />
I want light, easy pretty bases to wear when the weather is roasting. Add some awful humidity and everything tends to melt right off! These three are light, glowy, contain SPF and tend to stick around through the day. Just the right amount of coverage (medium for me) and can be combined with powder coverage as well.<br />

La Roche-Posay Daily Anti-aging primer SPF50<br />
La Roche-Posay Mineral Ultra Light Sunscreen Fluid<br />
<br />
Who doesn't love a multi-tasking primer?? Sets my face AND protects with SPF50. It feels smooth, silicone type and helps with my sweat. The Mineral sunscreen has a universal tint, is waterproof and matte. I actually love to wear this on its own as it gives pretty decent coverage. This is my go to on the lake fishing!<br />

Lancome waterproof Long Lasting Undereye concealer<br />
IT Cosmetics CC+ eye SPF50<br />
<br />
Both of these concealers have several things in common: thick, full coverage and a little goes a loooonnngggg way! I only need the tiniest bit to obtain great coverage and protection at the same time. They also last extraordinarily well. If I'm out and about then I wear these, if I'm on the beach or lake I tend to reach for lighter, thinner concealers.<br />

Coola has some fabulous Tinted Mineral Liplux SPF30, the beautiful metal case at the top is Firecracker. Beccas Beach Tint water resistant cheek colors are fun and are in Guava and Watermelon. Cargo cosmetics rocks the summer face with their water resistant blush in Bali. Their Swimmables eyeliners last, I can say that with authority!! These are all easy to carry with you and super simple to reapply as needed.<br />

<br />
Last but not least, the two setting sprays that have been with me for years, Urban Decay All Nighter and Chill are the favorites. Chill became an addiction when the menopausal hot flashes made me crazy red and sweaty and makeup started to move ugh. All Nighter is iconic and works for the indoor days.Best way to also knock that powdery look out with a spray!<br />
<br />
So there you have it, some of the makeup essentials that keep my face from sliding in the Texas heat. What are some of your favorites? Do tell!!<br />

<br />
<br />
New Years inevitably start the resolutions/goals and "gottas". The year starts and I have so many huge goals and things I want to change. That ever present weight loss goal and the exercise more goal. Yep, every year I have a renewed sense of hope that this will be the year I have spectacular results. And then a month in, the defeat and guilt and shame set in and I start beating myself up. It's not a great feeling, yet I continue to do the exact same thing!<br />
<br />
<u>DETAIL THE GOAL</u><br />
Instead of a sweeping statement, make the goal "bite sized". By that I mean be detailed in your goal that makes it easier to define and accomplish. For instance, "Workout more". Great goal but leads to failure because it's not defined. Here's how I would put this: Walk a mile three days a week. Go to Yoga class once a week. This goal is direct and concise making the goal not as overwhelming in its generality.<br />
<br />
<u>PLAN</u><br />
I've learned over the years some hard truths. Namely, without a plan to execute that goal, the goal is dead in the water! It's so easy to write down the goals, hang them on the mirror to see every morning and then not DO anything different. That's where the detailed plan comes in that gives me the tools to accomplish that goal and to take baby steps. Make your plan as detailed or broad as you like; however, make them attainable. The detail the goal paragraph starts that idea and you can add the specific work you need to do in your plan to execute the goal. Make them enjoyable!<br />
<br />
<u>MARK YOUR CALENDAR</u><br />
Write it down in your everyday calendar so that it's a part of your daily and weekly routine. Plan ahead and it will make it easier to do and you will feel a sense of accomplishment on a smaller scale, such as weekly!<br />
<br />
<u>REFUSE TO BEAT YOURSELF UP</u><br />
Any habit worth breaking needs a habit worth doing! So you want to lose that stubborn weight, you have a plan, you've scheduled the ideas and are doing them daily/weekly. Then you have an off day or week, maybe an illness, family crisis or just plain exhaustion. This is where giving yourself loving support is most necessary. There's nobody harder on ourselves than ourselves!! Remember you are human and no one is perfect; gentle self care is necessary to get through a rough patch without throwing in the towel. Plan for self care and do it. It's not the end, it's a rest stop.<br />
<br />
<u>HAVING A SUPPORT GROUP</u><br />
Having an accountability partner or group is an excellent way to achieve the goals you have set and shared with someone that supports you. We all hit roadblocks and need encouragement and a helping hand or ear when things get rough. It's good for you to know you aren't alone and are able to open up and share your feelings.USE the support group even when it's hard to admit you had the super buffet twice that week and fell off the weight loss momentum! It's ok, another new day starts and you will be able to start a new 24 hours!<br />
<br />
<u>NO BEATING YOURSELF UP ALLOWED</u><br />
Oh yes, easier said than done! It has been proven through countless studies that the way you talk to yourself predetermines a lot of outcomes. Sometimes, that self talk is so automatic we don't think about it. Pay attention to how you talk, practice self encouragement. I've caught myself just reciting crap I have ingrained by habit and I am learning to stop the words and listen to myself. This one is a lot of practice makes perfect (well better!)<br />
<br />
The anxiety and pressure of setting New Year resolutions/goals will be minimized by a positive, detailed goal, a plan of action, support and keeping your words and thoughts on the positive and GIVE YOURSELF A BREAK!!<br />
<br />
Thank you so much for stopping by, may you have a joyous and productive 2018!<br />
Blessings, Sherry<br />

Neutrogena healthy skin anti-aging perfector SPF 20<br />
Shiseido Urban environment tinted UV protector SPF 43<br />
Philosophy retinol treatment lotion SPF 30<br />
PERRICONE MD face finishing moisturizing tint SPF 30<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Sunscreen is a necessity for anti-aging and prevention of skincare. The added bonus is a tinted SPF. I love a good skincare tint for under makeup or on its own. Skincare is important to me as I'm 51, dry skin menopausal.<br />
<br />
Another thing is several family members have skin cancer and I don't want that! Ladies get your skin checked and don't tan. Educate your young ones to wear sunscreen no matter what!<br />
<br />
There are plenty fake tan sprays and products that give you a tan. They are safe and easy to use. Hispanics, African Americans and men burn too. Educate all.<br />
<br />
Leather skin is not in I tell ya! Whats your thoughts? Do tell!<br />

*Product sent for review<br />
@smiley360<br />
<br />
<br />
We all have some bladder leaks when laughing, sneezimg, running. Then you add genetics, pregnancy, child birth and menopause and the bladder urgency and frequency can make life a bit stressful! Not to mention embarrassing. So I'm always on the lookout for products that are designed to uniquely help. After being sent this product, I read up on the ingredient list and usage. I then talked with my doctor to make sure my daily medication was okay to use with this supplement. I was given the green light!<br />
<br />
I started taking it as directed, one pill three times a day for the first two weeks. Then one capsule twice a day thereafter. My bladder issues are frequency especially at night, urgency during the day and bladder leaks. To be sure a unpleasant consequence of my aging body. Let me tell you though, after the second week, I had considerable reduction in the urgency and frequency and my sleep patterns were better, as well as getting to the bathroom on time. I will take anything supplementary and do lifestyle changes to help and this one ticked all the boxes!<br />
<br />
The product is readily available at most drugstore ad supermarket chains and the cost is wonderfully inexpensive. This will definitely be a staple in my daily medication and supplement use. If you have any of these symptoms whether large or small; get yourself a bottle and give it a try! It may very well tick all the boxes for you as well!<br />
<br />
I'm loving that we women and men can be more open today about health and wellness issues. The conversation is easier than generations before.<br />
Thanks for your time reading this post and if you've had experience with this or other lifestyle help, please do tell!<br />
<br />

We all have products that we regret purchasing and don't know what to do with. I've come up with several ideas! Multitasking is the key. For example, there's an eye cream that drives me crazy, so I used it as an elbow and feet moisturizer. It worked excellent! So I went through my forgotten and sample stash , making an added benefit and use.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Some moisturizers worked as a lip balm, some as neck and decollatage. Oils worked as cuticle softener and for the ends of my hair (just a little ya'll)! Witch hazel wipes make a great toner. The Bobbi Brown eye cream was used on my feet! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I also use my multiple samples as they give me an idea as to whether I'll buy the full size. Plus they don't go to waste! Eyeshadow as highlighter and concealer as foundation. Let me tell you the list goes on. </div>

<br />
It's oddly satisfying to watch YouTube videos about a makeup stash/collection declutter. Cleaning out the old, unused, gone bad products and donating, selling or giving to family and friends.<br />
<br />
Some of these videos garner intense opposition. For instance, people get upset at the perceived waste or the extravagant collections; while others wish that half the stuff decluttered would magically come their way!<br />
<br />
Larger Youtubers are sent whole collections to test, try and review for ad voice as<br />
influencers . They may put duplicates or products that don't suit them in a giveaways to their subscribers.<br />
<br />
In a world of ads, commercials and influencers, the product may become entangled in a perceived and sometimes real paid for review but that's another rant/subject! Ultimately, it's about curbing the impulse to have all the latest and greatest; while using what we have and love in a meaningful way.<br />
<br />
Declutters are therefore necessary!<br />

Decluttering can be very hard. I'm speaking from personal experience because when I think of all the hard earned money I've spent!<br />
This last month, I did a huge makeover and declutter of my beauty room/office. I put on a declutter video from one of my favorite YouTube and got to work. All in all, I was happy with the results. I tossed expired, off smelling products and donated a huge bag of sanitized switched items and sold some languishing items. It felt a bit liberating and I felt lighter.<br />
<br />
The temporary pain of the clean out made me realize my rampant consumerism without the actual long term use of a product was showing!<br />
<br />
Nope, not going to stop buying or receiving makeup but I consciously make these decisions based upon each purchase. I feel a bit happier at using some of the things I forgot about in the "new" flush.<br />
<br />
Have you had a declutter? Do you love watching those videos? Do tell in the comments below.<br />

It is really easy to lose sight of your blog when life happens and your blog is more hobby than job. I ruptured my Achilles tendon and broke my arm all in one week, surgery followed and now physical therapy. Life happens and sometimes there are speed bumps that slow down your plans.<br />
<br />
I totally got hooked on putting together some quick, easy pictures for Instagram. It's enjoyable and definitely instant gratification. I didn't forget my little blog, just took a detour!! However now I am up and around and excited to put more into my blog. I have new skincare products to share, new palettes to review and some lifestyle tips to write about.<br />
<br />
So here is the, I'm back post . If you are still hanging in with me, join me on the new blog posts and definitely follow me on Instagram @gypsynurse66.<br />
<br />
Here's to some new and exciting happenings and thanks for those that have hung around and supported me!<br />

<a name='more'></a>My absence from my blog bothers me. I've had severe migraines since I was 5 years old. Although I'm fierce in preventing them, I still get regularly knocked for a loop. These last 4 months have been hell. But, my blog is fun and when I can opus it provides something else to focus on. If you've stuck with me, thank yo. Content coming up! Thanks ya'll!<br />

My husband is awesome, he indulges my blogging/beauty hauls and time spent with the blog. This ELF haul, he actually couldn't believe that I spent $49 for all these products LOL. I told him that this brand is inexpensive and has some great items. He told me that this is an early birthday present (it's in a week, so perfect timing). ELF has always been a favorite brand of mine and although there are some hit and misses, I have found a lot of hits lately. Stay tuned for the rundown!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
The 2 brushes that I got are the beautifully bare Stipple Brush and the Blending Brush. I really like the blending brush as it's full bodied and super soft. Now the one thing I am not really happy about is that both these brushes have seriously short handles. But I will work with them for sure!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
The Blush and Bronzing palettes are just frickin awesome. Pigmented, compact, easy for travel and gorgeous.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
The eyeshadow palettes: Mad for Matte, super neutral and although there are some that are super powdery and light on pigmentation, I feel like I can get some use out of these. The Tantalizing Taupe (clear front) is right up my alley and will definitely be used for everyday eyes. And ladies I am not mad that they give me instructions embossed on the shadows to tell me where to put them, I learn over and over :)! Last but certainly not least the new clay eyeshadows in Saturday Sunsets is beautiful. Pigmented, a little powdery and small which is great for traveling.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
The Mineral Infused Mascara will be a first for me as for the Liquid Eyeliner in Charcoal. I have used neither of these products and am looking forward to seeing what all these are about! The Eye Primer and Liner Sealer is another newbie to me. Definitely will have to research how to use the liner sealer!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
The Facial Massager intrigued me and anything to aid in my march against an aging face will be welcome!</div>

Nip & Fab Glycolic Fix Night Pads<br />
<br />
Glycolic acid, AHA's and lactic acids are known for their ability to exfoliate and move the dead skin off your skin to show smoother and "new" skin. These are in lots of different products and can be subtle to outright heavy duty. I for one, love heavy duty! Read on for my picks and uses.<br />
<br />
I have uneven texture, hyperpigmentation, and dry skin. The sun worshipping of my youth has caught up with me big time! After researching the acid family and finding that they were key to my skin, I incorporated them into my skincare regime asap. Several brands caught my eye and I went about purchasing them and testing them out. I didn't want any sissy products and these are the ones that I wanted.<br />
<br />
Some of these are downright expensive and others are wallet friendly. Keep reading for my thoughts on each brand/product!<br />
<br />
I am almost finished with my Peter Thomas Roth Un-wrinkle Peel pads and find that the 20% complex (the ingredient list only states retinol with no percentage) was a pretty hefty dose. This is the most expensive and can be found at Sephora and Ulta. I have used PTR products and trust this brand as the other cleansers are pretty jam packed with good ingredients. These pads are easy to use, say to use once a day am or pm your choice. I like using them at night while I sleep. They say to rinse off after 60 seconds. I don't do that and only spritz with a face spray to deactivate and leave it on overnight with no side effects. They do not sting when using unless I have a breakout. I have seen brighter skin, more even texture and the hyperpigmentation appears to be lessened.<br />
<br />
I was blessed to have won some Lumavera products and the Glycolic Night Cream was included. This is the next expensive product. I use this on alternating nights. The cream is thin, has a chemical smell and definitely stings for a bit after applying. It does not state the strength on the ingredient list but has some incredible ingredients to go along with this cream. Including "stem cell" and some great herb additives.<br />
<br />
Skin + Pharmacy can be found at CVS pharmacy. CVS has gotten game with their new skincare lines! This is another pad that doesn't give the percentage of acid but has some pretty incredible ingredients. Again it can be used at night and is gentler on my skin than the previous listed items. Again, (personal preference) I leave it on without rinsing off. It is in the $25 range but worth it in my opinion.<br />
<br />
Nip & Fab products I have been using for several years and trust their items because I have seen that they work! The light blue label product has the added benefit of hyaluronic acid, blue daisy and witch hazel and is quite mild IMO. I use this when my skin is a bit cranky, it works well!<br />
<br />
The other Glycolic Fix Night pads are a bit more heavy duty and when I run out of my PTR, these will be the ones I jump to next. It has salicylic acid and lactic acid in its ingredient list, both reat for breakouts and exfoliation. Both the Nip & Fab products can be found at Ulta and if you keep an eye out, they do buy one, get one half off often.<br />
<br />
Because I have a mature face, glycolics and acids are a staple in my routine. Be sure to wear a good sunscreen as acids tend to make you more susceptible to sunburn!!!<br />
<br />
Overall, acids work for my face and I don't think I will stop anytime soon as I see clearer, brighter, exfoliated skin. This is a great effect!<br />
<br />
On a side note, Nuance by Salma Hyack has a tub of these at CVS and they are quite affordable!<br />
<br />
Do you use acids in your daily routine? Have they worked for you? Do tell!<br />
<br />

I am a firm believer that the older I get that skincare is the absolute most necessary step in my routine, period. I use over the counter peel pads, retinol products and glycolic cleaners. These are 3 that are in my current routine. From expensive to drugstore!</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Glycolic acid is used to improve the skin's appearance and texture.</div>

Once applied, glycolic acid reacts with the upper layer of the <a class="mw-redirect" href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Epidermis_(skin)" title="Epidermis (skin)">epidermis</a>, weakening the binding properties of the lipids that hold the dead skin cells together.

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I first started using PTR when I purchased my Clarisonic Mia and it came with a small bottle and have since purchased the big bottle in a holiday kit. Love it! It lasts a long time because a little goes a long way and has very little fragrance and doesn't strip my face. It also has great skincare ingredients that add some great benefits. Available at Ulta and Sephora.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Mario Badescu Skin Care is well known and not as expensive as PTR. This little bottle has lasted me for over 6 months! Little fragrance, little goes a long way and doesn't strip my face. This products main ingredient is glycolic acid and because the packaging is basic the money for this product, I feel, goes into the product itself. Available at Ulta and Sephora.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Garnier has some great drugstore prices and although not entirely glycolic acid, has salicylic acid and other great skincare ingredients. This product has a great fragrance, and does strip my skin a bit. I am careful to moisturize really well. This product is great for acne prone and breakout skin. Can be found at your local pharmacies, Walmart and Ulta.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Because the older I get and the more hyperpigmentation and texture I notice, this is a must have for me. There are lots of glycolic toners in the market and night time treatments. I feel these last longer as with glycolic cleansers you wash a lot away!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Do you use any glycolic cleansers or toners? What is your favorite? Do tell!!!</div>

gloss, matte lipstick<br />
<br />
<br />
I have tried very few Ulta brand products. I rectified that situation on my last trip. Primarily because they had the cute purple makeup bag with products inside when you spent $21.50 of their beauty brand products.<br />
<br />
I purchased the Inner Rim Liner Trio (top middle) and the Brow Lift Duo in Blonde. One end has the highlight and the other a tinted brow gel. I then added the Micellar Water Makeup remover pads (they are not all that saturated, but I made them work). This got me to the gift with purchase!<br />
<br />
The gorgeous (ok I love purple:) zipper bag holds a palette, mascara, clear brow gel, setting powder, gloss, matte lipstick, sharpener, cute purple fingernail polish and a couple of brushes. All in all a travel friendly product for easy peasy use. I added a couple of trial size BB creams to round out the full face! All in all a great gift with purchase.<br />
<br />
There is something about gift with purchase that makes me want to buy products that, let's face it, I don't need LOL. But, hey I can always use them and if I don't I can pass them on. I am impressed though that the Ulta brand products are pretty good and stay up on trends and dupes.<br />
<br />
I have a feeling that I will use these products and love them. Are you a GWP junkie? Do tell!<br />
