Just In Case You Were Wondering

Falalalalalalalalalalala

For real though sorry about the 10 day unplanned hiatus from the blog.

I went to the doctor on Tuesday and since the first two sets of injections were a total fail we are back to the drawing board. He wants me to try epidurals instead and went over what type of surgery I would have if they did not. I was not expecting the surgery I would need to be so intense. Like 3-5inch incision intense!!!

It was a major downer and of course I went home and googled like a mad women to find other things I can be doing besides what I am already doing to avoid any and all possibility of surgery.

I have been trying to do lots of PT exercises at home and just de-stressing. That is one of the biggest things all the doctors have said to me is I need to find a way to not have a lot of stress in my life since it causes inflammation in your body and I have plenty to go around.  I am a worry wart and I have a teenager soooo I don’t know how this is gonna go down but I will give it the old college try. Who made up that term anyway??

In the mean time all prayers and positive vibes that this new procedure works are welcome.

Happy Friday. Have a fabulous weekend!!

 

Injection Day

The injections went well and I got three on each side lower on my back this time to see if that helps better.

So here I sit with my ice pack, my laptop and my coffee!

Oh and my nurse!

Praying these take this time!!!!

September Ipsy Glam Bag

This months theme is Face Fashion/Face the Future!

The bag is a nice golden color perfect for Fall!

The first item was a total fail for me.  It is a rosehip & hibiscus moisturizer by Bayberry Naturals .  I thought it was gonna smell amazing and it smelled awful so it never even made it on my body to know how moisturizing it is. Maybe I just got a bad one?? A full size retails for $17.95.

A full size Garnier Fructis Full & Plush Voluptuous Blow Out. This was okay. It did give volume and smelled very nice but it left my hair feeling a weird texture.  I like my hair to feel super soft so not sure this would be a product I would use every day. Full size retails for $5.99.

A Queen of the fill tinted brow gel by Elizabeth Mott. I think I would have loved this if I would have received the medium dark shade but I got light medium which is way too light for my dark eyebrows. A full size retails for $20.00.

I also received this NYX palette which was made exclusively for Ipsy subscribers.  These trio palettes normally run for around $6 but right now they are on sale for $3 on NYX’s Site. I have a couple of their trio palettes and they have good pigmentation and staying power with a primer.

Last but not least I received a mini matte lip crayon by tre’Stique in the shade Nantucket Nude. The full size comes with a balm on the other end which I think may have made this a better product. The liner was a bit too matte for me because I love some shine but I just layered a gloss over it and it worked fine. A full size retails for $28.00.  I doubt I would pay that for this product.

Happy Monday
