So I just realized that I have done absolutely nothing that I endeavored to do in starting this project. Okay, that's not being quite fair to myself. I have done a couple of things that I wanted to do, but keeping up with this blog isn't one of them. I had such great ambitions, but I think I'm realizing (11 months into a 12 month project) that this might've been a little bit more than I could chew.
I was just so inspired by blogs like Julie/Julia Project, A New Dress a Day, and others where people just take their interests and keep a blog. First of all, I love blogs (confession: I'm pretty sure I have 5 now...although to be fair to myself 3 of them are in collaboration with others). Secondly, I'm sure my narcissitic side thought maybe I could develop a following. Which is ultra lame since you have to AT LEAST write stuff on a blog for people to follow it. Oh well, maybe my next blog will churn out better results. :-)
I haven't decided yet if I'm going to set this "dream" aside until a different point in my life or if I'm going to try again (and try better) to do this over the next year. Or perhaps I will just scrap the idea and start something a little more feasible for my season of life and, let's face it, my personality.
A one-year beauty blog?! What was I thinking?

Month 3: Deep Down Clean
You know those Neutrogena commercials that have some perfectly-complected Disney Channel princess telling you how "deep down clean" the facewash works when you know the girl has never had a pimple in her life and she has a whole team of people working on her to keep it that way? I hate those commercials. And I hate Neutrogena. And I hate how many times I've tried Neutrogena hoping that THIS time it will be like the commercials.
Well I've been doing the oil cleansing method for my facewash () and like it, but I tried something out that I'm pretty sure I love.
Normally you would massage the oil mixture into your face, cover with a warm wet washcloth and leave for 1 minute, then wipe entire face with the cloth. Well I was jumping in the shower anyway, so I decided to try to utilize the steam from the shower. AmAzing.
Here's what I did:
1. Rub castor oil on my face, especially on nose and chin (where my pores seem to be as big as moon craters)
2. Shower as normal, leaving my hair for last so I didn't get soap on my face accidentally
3. After I did everything else I wiped my face with a wet washcloth
4. While in the shower I massaged Olive Oil into my skin, then wiped again with the washcloth so it wasn't too greasy.
I got out of the shower and my skin felt fresh, clean, smooth, and extremely (dare I say it?) supple. It hasn't cured all of my pore woes. After all, I've only done it once, but I totally plan to do it again tonight. I think I'm going to try the Olive Oil part on the rest of my body to.
Steam: it does a body good!
