Hey ladies - it’s Jeanasina here with another riveting episode of Body Beautiful Wednesday! So here’s the deal… I am always investigating things and products and recently I was exploring the Yogi Tea website and I discovered that they have come out with a NEW tea called Skin DeTox Herbal Tea! Yogi teas in general cover a monumental selection of flavors and malady solutions to help you but this is the first time I have seen one of their tea that is supposed to help your skin! Are you excited? Well I am here to give you some of the facts I learned and I am hoping you’ll take these facts and with some help, find the tea for yourselves and see if it might just clear up any skin issues you lament about! That’s right people, it’s tea bag story time! Ok, so first, I have a tea bag story of my own for you.
When I was in high school I was a ‘dud’ big time. I was a total loner and my family was poor and I took the bus back and forth to my Catholic high school every day and pretty much kept to myself. Well one day on the city bus to school, a woman sat beside me and she gave me a pamphlet which was about “Jehovah Witnesses”. I smiled at the woman and tucked the pamphlet in the pocket of my uniform and went to school. I had ONE friend in high school who was also a loner so we got along and we both had the same whacked out sense of humor. Well that day,I was in my algebra class and I absolutely hated math. I remembered the little pamphlet in my pocket and took it out.
Baby Love here! A few weeks back I wrote a blog about my personal struggles with my weight loss. I'm so very appreciative of all of the comments and stories that you shared.
I don't need to tell all of you that being overweight can do a number on your self esteem. I also probably don't need to tell you that along with being overweight come a whole slew of health problems. My blood pressure used to be in the range of 105/70. I know this is low, but as I see the pounds creep on, I also see my blood pressure slowly rising to the highest it has ever been. We've established that even before I had my babies my boobs were large, but now they are slowing moving to GIGANTIC. I have back pain that I never had before, and I'm finding my old attractive boobs aren't so attractive anymore. On my vacation in Florida, my husband's cousin asked me if I was pregnant. I was humiliated, and hurt, and just wanted to die! I never in my life would have imagined that I would be overweight, and now with 20 extra lbs. here I am. In all honesty though, the worst part about all of this is that my children are 3 and 1, and I don't have any pictures of us together. I will never get this time back with them, and I can't get past how fat my face looks in pictures. Is being overweight the worst thing in the world? No, of course not, but for some reason it just happens to be the worst thing in the world for me. I'm taking a moment to introduce you to "The Biggest Loser" Megsmakeup.com style.
How many times have you heard that beauty comes from within? Was it usually coming from your mother's mouth after you just complained to her about your acne/weight/bad luck with guys? The timing when that phrase comes up is always kind of fishy, right? I mean, if beauty really came from within, how come your mom never tells you so on the days you look your best? How come you've never heard "oh my gosh, you look fabulous today! It must really be coming from within!"? You know the answer. It's because "beauty comes from within" is code for "don't worry that you look like crap, maybe someone will be able to see beyond that".
Here at megsmakeup.com we say that beauty comes from within bottles, jars, compacts and tubes. Recently - and even though we love remaining highly cynical when it comes to the "beauty comes from within" motto - we have come to realize that sometimes beauty acytually does come from within. And I'm not talking about seeing your ugly friends as pretty ones just because you love them. I'm talking about seeing your hair shine more after you start taking vitamin E, or noticing a difference on how much your skin shines when you put some lemon in the water you drink every day.
