Skincare & Father's Day

As I'm sitting here this morning on the couch, drinking my chocolate Shakeology, it's cloudy outside - which is gorgeous - and I'm frustrated. Frustrated with my skin - and I wonder - if you have acne, what do you use to clear it up? Of course I want to use something like Rodan and Fields but c'mon, $171 for an entire regimen? We can't afford that right now, so give me some advice for something I can get at the drugstore - and not Target because we don't have those up in Canada (a true travesty, I know - and there's no sarcasm in that, I truly am heartbroken. I left many things behind in California, not least of which is Target).

On the plus side, I have a new *domain*! Marvelouscara.ca! I'm so excited and I'm still trying to link everything up as I just purchased it yesterday, and it takes a few days for everything to settle - so please let me know if it's all working in Bloglovin' and everything. But I know you're all as excited as I am!

Find a Penny: A Giveaway

Hello everyone! I have another giveaway for you!
The last giveaway was won by none other than my friend Aubrie. Congratulations, Aubrie!

This time, with Find a Penny Paper Co. , I'll be giving away a set of personalized stationery! I received mine just yesterday and let me tell you, it is GORGEOUS. You choose the color of envelopes you'd like and the color of ink you'd like for your name (which is written in calligraphy, I might add). I chose turquoise envelopes and pink ink. In my video below I accidentally said you receive ten pieces of each, but you actually receive twelve. Oops! Anyway, good luck!

Sorry about the stupid buzzing... I have a pretty old Macbook.

A Plan.

As I prepare for my Shakeology to get here (I purchased it on Monday, get your butt here already!), my motivation for things have changed a bit. I'm eager to lose weight, to have more energy to become more fit, to work hard and become the woman I really want to become. I read somewhere that we were given three things in this life: a body, a mind, and a lifetime. And how we use of the first two impacts the length and happiness of the third. Well, I'm tired of not being in control of my body and allowing my cravings and such to control me.


I also read somewhere that a goal without a plan is just a wish, so, I need a plan. Besides the Shakeology, what else have I got? More walking, that's for sure. More fruit and veggies, I've been off sugar now for two and a half weeks!, so I'm on the right path! I want to focus on other things that make me happy as well! So, what are those things? My hubby of course, reading dystopian fiction, reading my scriptures, talking about the gospel, going out for sushi or pizza or wings, (not healthy - but a yummy cheat day!), oh - I'll have one cheat day a week which allows one treat.
