Being a mother is the most special job that I’ve been assigned. I have the pleasure of inserting my thoughts and values to my children Alex and Carson for 25 years. One day I said to my daughter, “I’m surprised you have survived my parenting.” We laugh and giggled about that statement because I have done a lot of out of the box parenting.
I have had to work many hours at the salon, make dinner, do homework (chemistry was really out of my scope of knowledge) and teach her other day to day activities so that she could be a self sufficient person that could contribute to society. I knew exactly how I wanted to raise her since she has been three years old. I happen to acknowledge this when she went with me to a Dale Carnegie Class in Mechanicsburg. The topic was How to Win Friends and Influence People. I have to let you know while I was teaching my topic, (because this was a very interactive class), my three year old blonde haired beauty was creatively drawing on the back wall with her colorful crayons. Who knew she would be so creative? This talent has served her well planning for her wedding. She created some signs for the pie bar she had and a beautifully decorated pane of glass that indicated which beverages would be available. She also created her own invitations and designed a website for her big day. I’m so very proud of her and the decisions she has made for herself.
I’m grateful that I stuck to my guns on our values and beliefs. She is the most amazing person that I know. She is kind, grateful and generous to others. She has turned out to be such a dynamic business person in marketing Mexican Resturants in Texas. She is a character. Her humor is more of a Jim Carey funny. You never know what she is going to do.
My son, whom has survived my parenting for eighteen years, is a blessing to me and others around him. He has been able to impact people without saying a word. You see, he was shaken at eleven weeks of age to stop crying. Unfortunately, he suffered brain damage to the point that he is now 100% dependent on me and the nurses to care for his needs daily. He lives at home. We flew Carson to Alex’s wedding so he could attend her big day.
My gift was given to me on Wednesday May 9th, 2012. I had been granted guardianship of my son which gives me the opportunity to protect him and make decisions on his behalf since he is considered and adult. So that day was a monumental day as a mother. I cried in happiness.
So what does mother’s day mean to you? I don’t know about you, but I’m glad I’ve had the privilege of being a mother to my two children. I hope you have a super mothers day!.
BiOxygene face cream from Guinot Paris located at Indulge, A Colour Salon 180 from Ordinary, York PA
Here it is!! Bioxygene face cream designed give radiance to dull lack luster over stressed skin.
I don’t know about you, but some days are not so radiant as they should be especially when I look in the mirror in the morning and say to myself “who are you?”If you don’t feel as young as you used to and you have the sallow, dull, tired look than maybe you should consider this new cream from Guinot. Why? This cream has three benefits:1. It adds oxygen to the skin on a cellular level – most skin that is truly asphyxiated (choking) due to lack of oxygen and the cells that are dehydrated, and have dead skin cells that have layered upon layer appear to be dull and lack radiance. 2. Protects your skin from pollution. I think this is a pretty bold statement considering what we actually do not see floating around in the air. This ingredient has an Anti-pollution filter effect which allows the skin to breathe. It feels soft to the touch and flexible not tight like other products we won’t mention. 3. Provides skin cells with long lasting moisture. This face cream allows the water levels to be sustained in order to keep balance in the skin. When we are under stress of the daily routines physically, emotionally and especially mentally, our skin will dehydrate because your body will take what it needs to survive. Other benefits of this new BiOxygene is that it has no coloring agents and 0 paraben (waxes) and it was not tested on animals. It does have natural active ingredients which will protect and provide radiance. when I tried this product tonight, I was pretty excited because I have to admit that I’ve been having some stressful moments and want to see how it feels on my skin. The results after application were interesting. I personally found the face cream light and airy. The light fragrance was clean not overpowering as some can be. The application used minimal amounts of product for my entire face and it felt smooth. My skin drank it in.the feeling is unique. I really like it. If you are a natural kind of gal than you would really like this on your skin because it’s so light in texture. Tests show that afer 1 month of treatments, the radiance of skin was increased by 2.6 points with a panel of 9 test subjects. Changes in moisture with the panel of 9 test subjects were increased by 44.6%. Pretty stunning results don’t you think? I know that I have had super dry, itchy skin in the past. The feeling of the tightness was daily to the point that I had used a night cream instead of a day cream to give me relief. Those of you that have dry skin no exactly what I”m talking about. Anybody with normal skin will enjoy the light feeling of this texture. You won’t have to worry about it being heavy on normal skin. Our Guinot Skin Care Professional recommends the Aromatic Facial Treatment or teh Hydradermie treatment that will lift the muscles underneath the skin to really give an advanced “facelift” appearance. Try the BiOxygene face cream as part of your daily regime. Let me know what you think. It only comes in one size which is 1.6 oz. Dab will you you!.
This was the deciding factor for me to have a second skin peel about 6-8 weeks apart. My daughter is getting married and I must look good for the photos because the last forever. I just had the second chemical peel done and it was as strong as the first one because I wanted to get rid of the wrinkles around my eyes and mouth. Wow, I didn’t feel the stinging as much as the first one and of course nothing happened as far as peeling the second day but the third day. Yowza! I was at work (I never recommend doing this during the work week if you work, save it for a Thursday or Friday and make it a Lifetime weekend and order in) and my staff looked at me and said you started peeling. I run to the rest room to check my skin around the eyes and mouth and sure enough I started to peel.
Chin, cheeks and neck were more sensitive this time. The rest of the forehead and nose and upper cheeks were peeled off in a day with no sensitivity.
As you can see in the photos of my cheek, eye area, and chin that its a bit rid. Of course I wasn’t a good listener to the professional skin care therapist and used another type of moisturizer. BE A GOOD LISTENER and use what she tells you to use. What happened was my skin was dry and tight like she said it would be and I needed to feel relief as I was peeling the dry skin off which was supposed to happen. Anyway, my skin felt like it was on fire so don’t do what I did. I endured that feeling the rest of the day and came home to rinse it with cool water. I applied what she told me to apply which is a Post Balm Lubricating Ointment that you can only get in our salon with the treatment. It felt like someone threw on cool water onto a flaming fire. Aah!!
It’s worth it! On day four of the second peel, my skin peel has been worth it and I will keep you posted on how amazing I will look by next week. Close ups taken with my phone..
