Skin - & Amazon Links & Random Thoughts

The rules I have for this blog is positivity, for me and for whomever is reading this.

I hope you see the light of my random thoughts!

I'm getting older and so is my skin, here are the ways that I am helping my skin keep up with gravity.

I just researched all of the benefits of blackseed oil, omg. I will add more later, I am just getting started on sharing my really nerdy insomnia research to this blog.

LINK TO BUY HERE

I started taking a tablespoon of this stuff daily and it really is helping with so many things.

I also started this blog so that I could refer back to my food recipes and in the past on things I wanted. It's fun to re-read and see my unmedicated ADHD in the past posts.

Here are the items for this post, I will polish up adding some more words.

Omg! This nipple butter is amazing, especially for super super crazy chapped lips.

BUY THIS ITEM HERE

THE DUAL MIX OF THESE ITEMS for the price, is amazing.

One thing many people never told me when I was younger was NO RENTINAL DURING THE DAY!!!!

I am relearning how to crop these pictures, so they are less screen shotty.

Ok, when used together my smokers' wrinkles on my lips go away! I also stopped smoking and am only vaping. My house mate and I get in many arguments about this being better or worse.

BUY BOTH OF THESE, they will not disappoint, especially with then used together, and remember retinal only at night or you will get more wrinkles.

BUY HERE

This is the really easy and cheap one:

this one isnt as glorious as the ones above for my 39 year old skin

BUY HERE*

I realized no one is going to buy me perfume so, I have to buy it myself.

BUY HERE

I will revise this later you make it look less ghetto.

I just need a place to share what has worked for me!!!

I had a summer cold from hell and it put me on the couch for 8 days. I was pissed it was during the busy sunny time of the summer. I just wanted to be at the beach. I needed chicken soup. I needed it to be easy and get me feeling better.

Here it goes:

-3 Tablespoons of butter

-2 Medium carrots

-1 large leek

quartered lengthwise, then chopped (soak in a bowl of water and strain to get the sand out)

-4 inch knob of ginger

-5 cloves of garlic peeled and plopped

-2 quarts of chicken broth

-2 cups of shredded cooked rotisserie chicken

-1 tube of polenta

-3 sprigs of thyme and basil

-salt & pepper to taste

Instructions

Melt the butter in a soup pot over medium heat, and add the carrot and celery. Add a big pinch of sea salt and cook over medium heat for 5 minutes to get the carrots softening.

Add the grated ginger, minced garlic, leeks, and green onion. Cook for another 3-5 minutes over medium heat until fragrant and soft.

Add the

broth and chicken, turn the heat to high, and bring to a simmer. Add the noodles and cook over medium/high heat until the noodles are cooked to your liking. Sea salt and pepper the soup to your taste.
