Well, hello December!
Eighteen days in, and I'm just starting to cop that it isn't really the beginning of the month anymore. It's the middle of the month. Borderline LATE.
So, how have I been doing with my challenges?
Oil Pulling
I have been so negligent in this! And it's doubly silly of me, as I have been having some serious tooth pain this month. Coconut oil would help! I know it would! And still... I have oil pulled twice this month. Maybe three times.
Tomorrow teeth! I'm coming for you!
Ditch Bad Beauty Habits
Washing My Face in the Shower
This one was pretty easy to quit. I simply took the face wash out of my shower. Ta da! An esthetician told me that the water temperature we use for showers is way too hot for our faces, and it causes a lot of redness in our complexions. Since redness is a big problem for me, I decided to follow her advice. After a few weeks of washing my face after my shower, I am noticing a more even complexion. However, even though there is less redness in my cheeks, I am breaking out a bit more. My assumption is that this is due to stress rather than beauty habits.
Ditch The Towel Turban
Wrapping your wet hair up in a towel leads to breakage. A great alternative is to use an old t-shirt to soak up extra moisture. It's less damaging to hair than a towel, and doesn't cause breakage, leading to those unsightly little wisps around your forehead.
Yep. I know all that is true.... but the towel is so much more convenient! The t-shirt method requires a loose drape around your shoulders, which slips and falls, and my soaking wet hair drips on my shoulders... shudder. It's unpleasant giving up the towel. But in the weeks since I have, my hair has been smoother and shinier.
Stop Using Q-Tips
Ooops. I forgot about this one. I'll start tomorrow :)
