I’m on a Self-Care campaign! Sporadically I will post a contributor to my self-care and mental health regimen. Join me on my campaign!

I’m trying my hardest to make healthier decisions. I wouldn’t say I’m dieting rather, being more conscientious of what goes into my body. My sweet tooth makes this extremely difficult. Not knowing my limit makes indulging every once in a while, problematic (sighs). Now, I’m trying to substitute candy with fruits. Oh, did I mention how much I LOVE soda. Who loves grape soda? Kay LOOVVESSS grape soda! I know, I know it’s bad for you (fix your face, I get it) but it’s a guilty pleasure. I’m trying to eat more fruits and veggies and cut down on carbs (bread). Some days are better than others.

Healthy eating really is a lifestyle change. It not only affects what I put in my body but what I put on it. I started to do a lot of facial at home with things in my refrigerator. I’m wearier of products I put on the face, afraid of gunk clogging up my pores. My pores have been problematic this past year, an issue I’m still combatting (large pores). I’m giving myself a year to get my skin where I would like it to be. Hopefully, by December 2017 it will be where I’d like it. I might chronical my progress, we’ll see. I’ll only do it if I can offer something different from what YouTube beauty guru’s offer. Otherwise, it won’t make much sense, just repetitive. Anyway crossing fingers it works out!
