At the gym they have this light machine, I have used it twice. I think it is helping my skin. It is not a tanning booth, just bright light.
I got a manicure today and a clear gel polish...it looks so nice!
I was driving home and thought I could just stop by whole foods and have a beer, no one would know as I did not have any clients today.
It rained hard and flooded the area out of town where I was going to we rescheduled it for next week.
I could have just as easily gone to fat pats for a couple of beers too.
But instead I said...I am sticking to this diet and came home.
I will make up my new smoothie instead of snacking on cheese and nuts like usual.
Here is to self care!

I showed my scars to the nurses at the infusion center yesterday, and they were amazed at what a wonderful job Dr. Chen did stitching me up, especially considering how invasive the surgery I had was.

But we have a HUGE mirror in our bathroom, and the scars are really, really bothering me. I'm just loaded with scars in general. So, recently I started putting Mederma on the new ones every morning. I can't see any difference yet. It will take time, but hopefully they will at least fade, and I will feel better.

There is no hope for my other scars tho. Mederma has done all it can do for them.

No descriptions, but I have several scars from my s/s attempt, and some are very big. I would LOVE to have most of them tattooed over, but it would be extremely expensive. It is something I have thought about A LOT. If I won the lottery, getting the tattoo's would be one of the first things I would do.

Sorry you have the scars. I have some scars too. But mine are
from surgeries and they aren't too big. And more just will hurt
and be troublesome that way.

Which makes it a pain to have them.

I took a shower yesterday, thankfully I got it in before it rained
since I didn't know it was supposed to.
