#BlogLife1010 - A lil tip

I decided to do a lil experiment because my face is under attack from the elements, dryness, breaking out, dehydrated I guess, maybe it is just because of winter..

As you know I bought the L'Oreal cleansing milk which is too greasy and heavy to use as a stand alone moisturiser for my combination skin.

I was using it prior to washing my face and that isn't cutting it, my face is still a mess.

I think with milks you're supposed to wipe off the excess with a cotton pad.

I used to use those but it's an unnecessary added expense, with cotton sticking to your face and what's wrong with using your hands anyway?

I decided to see what would happened if I mixed it with the L'Oreal Revitalift cleanser onto the face brush as well as the milk, that is a lil better, so that's how I'll use it.

My skin is more smoother but it's still excessively dry. I have to top it up with the L'Oreal wrinkle expert moisturiser which is a quick absorber and lighter than the cheaper products I buy.

And the only reason for all the L'Oreal stuff is that they were on sale and I get bargains, nobody would sponsor me, as they typically only want positive reviews and I give both good and bad feedback.

At least with the confidential product testing, they welcome both viewpoints because they want to know what works and what doesn't from a majority of different people.

Ugh I had such a horrid night's sleep. I was wrecked but my brain wouldn't switch off so I was gaming and then I dunno if I fell asleep and then woke up but my fingers were painfully throbbing for ages.

I don't usually get that at night, just during the day but the modern day brick phones are not helpful, better to see a big screen but not good to use, if you're delicate and prone to pain.

I must have got some sleep though because I don't feel completely lifeless and after using the face brush, I feel wide awake.

I'll just do the UC stuff and then Looney Tunes will begin their new event at 1pm and I can relax and eat then.

Ugh and literally just as I was talking about not clogging up my email box, Yahoo just wrote and said they are reducing storage, if you exceed that, which it doesn't say how much I've used, you can't send new emails.

I've got loads of stuff saved, stories, ideas, notes, private information.

I hate my advisor so much! 

I was just thinking about the coldness and waiting ages to run the hot tap until you get warm water, if I use the cold it affects me pain wise.

And now looking at my hands I can see they have swollen up, which means they are extra sensitive to usage but I can't stop being active with them so hopefully they will get down to a normal size soon.

I don't really know what provoked them, except using the phone, I've been holding it instead of laying it down too much I guess..

Anyway either with the heating on, the blankie on, I'm still cold, it's not been working well today actually.

I definitely could not survive without a blankie, even a crappy one.

Everytime I get up from it, I'm back to being frozen again.

I read something interesting on one of the pain relief videos, that this person was affected throughout their whole body..

And I thought..... Huh..... Fascinating because I was told the discomfort is only targeted in certain areas, so why you're complaining about other parts it's not feasible, therefore you must be exaggerating....

On and on, Doctors told me, how I should feel, not what I was actually dealing with.

And I've always noticed my pain travels throughout my body not just where "experts" say it should be contained.

It was nice to be validated because the GP/Hospital/Specialists all made me feel like a nuisance liar that was crazy and making things up for attention.

They couldn't be bothered to listen or treat me, so making me feel low was what I put up with for decades.

Diagnosing and dealing with the symptoms myself is so much better.

I may not have studied medicine but I know all about pain relief and human behaviour!

And when you get to a state where you can barely walk or use your hands.....

Something is very very wrong, especially when it begins from late teens/early twenties where you're supposed to be young and healthy, not struggling with movements!!
