I don’t talk on here a lot about beauty products and regimes mostly because I typically don’t have any. That is until lately that is. You see, I’ve decided it’s time to start getting serious about my skin.
Over this past winter, I started using a moisturizer on my face consistently every night after my shower. I know, big whoop. But for me, it kinda was. I generally don’t use moisturizer regularly. However, I’ve decided to up my game a little bit. I am starting to use a proper facial cleanser for my face as well as moisturizer with sunblock in it in the mornings. I’m scarcely outside anymore, but I know that doing this will help my skin in the long-run. I’m thankful that I was never one of those women who tanned for a hobby. Even in high school when my friends were all doing it, I was sitting in the shade reading. Some of those women today look 10-15 years older than what they really are because (I think) of those golden brown tans that they worked on so diligently. I’m not naming any products at this point because I’m not sure how I like some of them still. I have really sensitive skin, but sometimes it takes a bit before reactions start.
There are a couple of other things I’m getting serious about other than just my skin care. Obviously, I’ve been knitting socks a fair amount lately. I just finished my second pair of Monkeys and am getting ready to cast-on my third. Here are the just finished ones in their bath.
There was 19 grams of yarn left, which seems to be about average for a pair of Monkey’s in Socks that Rock Lightweight for me.
I’m also getting serious about learning to sew more. I now have two sewing machines (the Necchi and an IKEA one) and it seems pretty silly to have them and not use them. I’ve found a few “easy for a beginner” patterns that I plan on trying out this weekend, I’ll let you know how it goes!
