Blackhead Remover

When I was younger I had acne problems. It really affected my self esteem and makes me feel for the young teens that have to deal with it. Thankfully, mine has cleared up...however, I still would like to find a good blackhead remover for my skin. That's the one issue I still have. I'm beginning to do a little research online to find something that would be good for my sensitive skin and will hopefully come up with a good product soon. If you have any suggestions, I'd love to hear them!

Holiday Weekend!

I can't tell you how happy I am that it's a holiday weekend. There has been so much going on with work and school that I could really use a few days off. I'm looking forward to relaxing and spending time with my family on Monday. It should be a good time. I even get to see my niece and nephews which will be great as well!

Updates to my home

I never thought I'd be the kind of person who would care so much about updating my home and making it look nice. The truth is though, once I bought a place and it was actually mine...I cared a whole lot more. Over the past couple of years I've done quite a bit to my home. It's looking good, but I will admit, there are some things that I could do outside to update it more too. I think some landscaping and even a house address plaques would look really nice. I do have some patio furniture and flowers already and that adds a lot.

What next?

It seems like every year water does some sort of damage to things I own. From the leaks in my spray nozzle to the holes in my garden hose. The cold Iowa winters sure do a number on my water equipment with all the freezing and thawing. So I am going to go out and buy a durable teflon hose that can with stand the elements of mother nature. Strong, long lasting and pretty much damage proof.

Holiday Photo Cards

The other day I was cleaning out one of the drawers in my living room and I came across some pictures. There were some regular pictures and some holiday photo cards that were sent to me over the years. Oh how it reminds me of how time has flown by, it seems like yesterday my family and I were all still living under the same roof. Now we are all grown up and have our houses and families, well I'm hoping to start one in the near future. Great times and good memories!

Bridesmaid Dresses

Some time in the near future I could be happily engaged on my way to getting married. Then I start to think about all the things that have to be done just to get married, the cake, wedding colors, tuxedos, bridesmaid dresses, food. Then it hits me that I have the most wonderful person in my life that will help with all these decisions. My future wife, I want this to be the most special and memorable day ever for her to start off on the right foot together.

Home Automation System

Now that I'm a homeowner I am focused more than ever on security and safety. I want to do what I can to make sure that my home is kept safe, which is why I've seriously considered an alarm system and have been searching home automation systems. This is so much more than just an alarm. This is actually a way to monitor light, climate, alarm, and more from almost anywhere. I'm into technology like this and so far, I find it to be the best option for what I'm looking for. I want peace of mind and I really think that's what something like this will help give me.

Not enough time...

Wow, where did this week go?! I have an inbox full of emails I still need to get through, housework to do, school work and so much more. It just seems there aren't enough hours in a day or days in a week. Do you ever feel like this? I'm hoping once School is out for the summer that I can really catch up on life again. Maybe even enjoy my summer! Let's hope so.

Dark Circles

I don't have a lot of problems with wrinkles, gray hair or other things that would otherwise make me look older...however, one thing I do struggle with is dark circles. I don't necessarily think this is old age as much as it is not getting enough sleep. The problem is, I have lots going on between school and work and don't get as much rest as I should. That's why I've been looking hard for dark circles under eyes treatment online. We'll see what I end up coming up with, and hopefully it works well!

Multivitamins

As I get older I realize how important it is to take care of myself. I have to admit, when I was younger, that wasn't really one of my top priorities. Now though, I love that I can get on the Internet and find ways to live a healthier life. Of course, exercise and eating right is one way...but there is also things like multivitamins which are important as well. I've really been able to learn more multivitamins in the past few months and am thankful for all the great resources I've come across.
