No Longer A Problem For Me…

A few weeks ago I bought a new face masque to try and I’m so in love with it! I haven’t used it a lot, but I have noticed a difference on my face. I used to get pimples occasionally, but since I started using the masque I haven’t really noticed any. I guess since the masque is formulated for acne and problem skin it really works great on my skin and occasional pimples. I’m glad I’ve finally found something that works after all these years. And at less than $5 a tube, I really can’t complain.

I hope it works well for people who really do have acne and problem skin. My cousin is like that and nothing seems to work for him. His acne is really bad. I know it’s a source of embarrassment for him since he’s only 17. That has to be hard. Maybe I should recommend that to him. There are so many things on the market for acne though. Just today I saw something about pronexin. That was my first time even hearing about that product. Who knows what else it out there that might work for him.

Skeptical And Afraid…

My mom and I have so much in common that it’s kind of spooky. We like most of the same things and have many of the same characteristics. I don’t think I could deny her even if I wanted to! Another thing we have in common is our dislike of hospitals and doctor’s offices. I’ve been really sick for a while and every day she tries to get me to go to the doctor and I just won’t do it. Sometimes I feel as if I’m going to collapse right there and I’ll argue reasons why I don’t need to go. She’s the same way.

I’m not sure what her real reasons are for not wanting to go, but I wouldn’t be surprised if they aren’t similar to mine. Besides my general fears and jadedness towards doctors, I’m also concerned about the cost of hospital stays since I don’t have insurance. I’ve looked into insurance quotes a little and I’m not sure it’s something that I can afford right now, unfortunately.

Holding Things Down…

I just found out today that my mom is going to have to be out of work for a while. I feel conflicted about it. In a way I’m happy because she’s sick a lot and she could definitely use the break, but I would be lying if I said I wasn’t a little worried about the financial aspect of things. That will be less income around here. I’m not too concerned because we’ve been through a lot worse. Plus I know that things always work out for the best if you have faith. I’m sure we’ll have to cut back on a few things and make some sacrifices but that’s cool. Life is about sacrifices!

It’s funny because a few months ago we were trying to figure out how to include life insurance in our budget and now we’re going to have to worry about things that are immediately important. Hopefully she’ll get to rest for a while and I can pick up some more work to make up the difference. That’s what family is for!

Hoping To Move…

I was talking to my cousin the other day about possibly moving to the state that she lives in. It would be so exciting to move somewhere else. The cost of living where she lives in Pennsylvania is so much cheaper than it is where I live at in New Jersey. She has so much more space than I do and pays a lot less money per month as well. I’m not even sure why I’m still here! Hopefully if I work some extra hours and save up enough of money I can afford to move there next year at the latest. I’d love to move there this year if I can!

The only thing really stopping me from moving is not having enough money saved. I like to have a plan B. I don’t want to move to a new place and have nothing to fall back on. Even if I do have family there. I also want to make sure the houses are nice. Thy don’t have to have Kohler toilets in the bathroom, but as long as they’re clean and spacious I’ll be happy!
