Argan Oil

Argan oil! I am in love with this stuff.
The Body Shop Wild Argan Oil smells amazing and is good for hair and body. I have the solid and it makes a great cuticle oil. The label says not to use on the face but I may have already done that... I might grab a few items the next time I’m near a Body Shop because I really just want to smell like this all the time. 
The Josie Maran Argan Oil Light is a liquid and has no smell and can be used all over, including the face. It’s super effective at getting rid of flakes and dry patches. It also plumps wrinkles and improves skin elasticity. The “Light” version is different from normal Argan Oil, it sinks into skin faster and dries with no extra shine, but from what I can tell it is missing some of the skin repairing properties of regular Argan Oil. I like to use the liquid on my brows and lashes because it can help them grow and my eyebrows need all the help they can get. You can either add a few drops to your moisturizer or use it first like a serum. I add 2 drops to both my AM lotion with SPF and my night cream.
While I love both of these products the Josie Maran Argan Oil is incredibly expensive. I got a sample in an Ipsy bag and there’s no way replacing it would fit into my budget. While there’s no dupe for the Light Argan Oil there are TONS of other regular Argan Oils out there and most provide the same benefits as the luxury brand for about an $80 savings.

Sunshine Vox Box

I got my Sunshine VoxBox a few weeks ago and it had a lot of great stuff in it! Vaseline Intensive Care Aloe Spray Sinful Colors nail polish in Ocean Side Infusium 23 Leave in Treatment with Avocado and Olive Oil Dickinson's Witch Hazel Cleaning Cloths (and some coupons) A coupon for a free bag of Bark Thins, I got the Blueberry Quinoa variety Blue Diamond Sriracha Almonds Vaseline Intensive Care Aloe Soothe Spray: The Vaseline Intensive Care Aloe Soothe spray lotion spray smells great, it's light, quick, easy to apply, and absorbs quickly without leaving any greasy residue. The smell is kind of strong but it fades quickly. Unfortunately it's not heavy enough for my super dry skin, even with the summer humidity. This would be great for people who want light moisture without getting it on their hands or leaving a greasy feeling. Sinful Colors Nail Polish in Ocean Side: I love Sinful Colors nail polish. It comes in a huge variety of ...

There was an incident...

Yesterday was shot day. Three pens, as expected, no big deal. Except one of my pens misfired. The needle didn't even touch the skin. I pressed down, counted to ten, pulled it away, and the Humira started spraying. I put my hand over the end to catch to fluid so that it didn't spray all over the carpet. According to the Humira rep with AbbVie this is a normal mechanical failure. I explained the incident, gave them some info from the package, and as soon as they confirm with my doctor a new pen will be on the way. I have extras in the fridge, so no lapse in dosing. Still, injecting is anxiety inducing enough without equipment failure. The other problem: I noticed two lumps in my right arm pit on Thursday morning. Around 9 AM it was the size of a ping pong ball. I sat in Sus' house all day while she cleaned, unable to help her because the building pain was just too much and movement would only make it worse. By dinner time it was roughly the size of a tennis ball, and more...

Humira, Life at 120MG

I took two pens on Thursday (6/29/17) and another one today (6/30/17) and I am EXHAUSTED. No idea if it's helping yet, but the shots seem to make me hungry. Reminder: I am on Humira for Crohn's Disease, Hidradenitis Suppurativa, psoriasis, and polymyalgia rheumatica.
