Winter Blahs

Today has been a wonderful surprise-- above freezing!  Even though it wasn't sunny, it was still in the mid 30s, which felt like a balmy fall day.  How sad is that?  I walked Frank (my dog) twice around the neighborhood, feeling the slushy melting snow under my boots.  The lack of sun did not help motivate me, but I packed up some catalogs to pass out tomorrow when we walk.
One of the problems I have with winter is my dry skin.  I am not normally a person who slathers on the creams, body lotions, or hand salves.  But, this winter has done a number on my 34 year old skin.  I have upgraded my nightly ritual to the Anew reversalist night moisturizer and the Footworks Overnight Renewing Cream.  I put a thick layer on my feet and covered them with slipper socks.
Overnight Renewing Foot Cream is now on sale for $2.99 in my Avon online store.  It works wonders.  I personally use it, and after a few nights, you will want to wear your flip flops just to show those toes and feet off!

Breathe...relax

Well, beauty busters-- I snapped at my sister today. I don't know why. Oh, wait! Yes I do: Because I need food!!!! That's why!!
Resolution: Lose Weight.
This one sucks. I have been trying to eat more fruits, veggies, whole grains, less fat, etc, but today I feel like my body is going through junk food detox. I'm frantically looking around the office for something...anything...snickers, chocolate, french fries (not really, but you get the idea.) Its tough. I know I can do it, but its hard.
Last night, I went with a sister ice skating. It was my first time, and I had a lot of fun, but I was too tense. My body hurt from being all tensed up. Around 8:30, I started getting hungry. I hadn't ate yet because I had a late lunch, so I took a walk to Wendy's and got a small chili and walked back home. I know its not the best thing for me, but in terms of fast food, I thought chili was a good choice. If I tried to make something, I would have been still hungry and waiting at 9pm. Wendy's chili does have red meat, but it also has beans and veggies (I've seen them in there!), so I felt okay with that.
AB is making dinner tonight, so I can't wait to see and taste what he prepares. He is a really good cook, and he enjoys cooking...so you know there is a lotta love in it. I haven't seen him for a few days and I miss him. I might even bring some yarn to crochet with tonight, too. Before dinner, though, is Avon catalog delivery. I need to hit a few stores and chinese restaurants and drop off some books so I don't have to wake up so early on Saturday.

Winter Skin? The solution for you


I am a user of Anew. I love the Rejuvenate cleanser and moisturizer. But, on Sunday, I ran out of my cleanser. There were no others in my reserve supply (every good avon gal keeps a supply of extra products for her clients last minute needs!). Well, I did have a tube of Winter Solutions Fabuously Clean face cleanser. I had no other choice.

Guess What? Its great!! This cleanser (item 615-449) is very creamy, does not foam up as much as other cleansers, but makes me feel squeaky clean. Honestly, I don't care for the smell, but its only face soap. It isn't fruity or chemically smelling. It just smells like soap.

In the past few days, I have not noticed any differences in my skin. I still do follow with my moisturizer. (its super important to moisturize!!)

This item is on sale 3 for $10 (reg. price $6). Other Solutions products are also on sale for this price, you can mix or match!!

Other items on sale at my online Avon Store right now(found hunting through the outlet section):
  • Glazewear Lip Colors $1.79
  • Tahitian Holiday all over bronzer $1.50
  • Daring Curves Mascara $1.99
  • Anew Clinical Spider Vein Therapy $9.99
  • Skin So Soft Foaming Oil Body Wash $1.49
  • Wish of Love Eau de Toillette Spray $5.99
