1. I plan on posting a lot more lately. One thing I want to do is a Friday Five every week. You are currently reading the first Friday Five! Along with posts every Friday, I want to get back in the hang of blogging starting with posts on Tuesdays. Eventually I hope to post at least a few times a week, but I'm going to ease my way back since I was gone for so long. I think that this is a great way to start. So, be expecting that!
2. Honey + Pimple. Let me explain. Earlier this week I had the worst pimple on my chin. It was literally the worst pimple I have ever had. Red, shinny, oily, painful, no way to cover up, and I was desperate for it to go away. That's when I decided to try a beauty trick I had heard of a while ago but never tried.
I grabbed a band aid and the bottle of honey from the fridge. One dab of honey on the band aid, band aid on face, time to go to bed. When I woke in the morning, I peeled the band aid off my face (ouch!), and the horrible pimple was half the size that it was the night before. I was very happy that this trick helped so much. I did it again that night, and the pimple that would have lasted days and days was pretty much gone.
If you ever have a really bad pimple, I would definitely recommend this honey trick to get rid of it faster. I also saw a lemon juice/honey paste that is supposed to help get rid of acne and prevent scarring. You would have equal parts honey and lemon juice mixed, apply to face for 15-20 minutes, then rinse off with cool water. Repeat 2x a week. Something to try.
3. This past weekend, I decided to try something different with my photography. I made the decision to stage and take photos of quilts my grandma makes. This helps her sell quilts with her business and gives me more exposure as a photographer. Pretty good deal, I thought.
So, more about these quilts my grandmother makes.
My grandma, Marie, loves to make quilts. She decided to start a business, Rosewood Quilts, in hopes to sell these quilts, so she could make a profit from something she loves doing. She makes many quilts with different themes, sizes, heaviness (summer vs. winter), even some with hand embroidery. Her quilts make great gifts for Christmas, birthdays, graduations, etc. There are different options to choose from pre-made quilts wise or even collaborate for a custom-made quilt. Check out examples on Facebook by searching Rosewood Quilts-MI. You can contact Marie at RosewoodQuiltsMI@gmail.com if you're interested.
4. My friend, Cierra, has been so great. We are talking and hanging out again after drifting apart a bit this past year. It is so great to talk to her any time I want whether it's about music, guys, whatever. She is a great friend, and I'm going to miss her once she leaves for boot camp at the beginning of October. Who am I supposed to tweet about Austin from The Tide or when uploading a video? Answer me that. But congrats to her for doing bigger and better things.
5. Speaking of Cierra and uploading videos, WE STARTED A NEW CHANNEL ON YOUTUBE! We mostly started the channel as a way to stay in touch while headed in different directions in life. She is going to be traveling a bunch in the Navy, and I am going to be working on my photography. We just don't know how often we will get to see each other. Seems like a pretty good solution to us.
We started our channel about a week ago, and have both uploaded one video to the channel. I upload on Mondays, and Cierra uploads on Thursdays. Click here to check them out (we are still working on the look of our channel). This past week's theme was the TMI Tag where we answer questions that no one really wants/needs to know about us. How fun!
With all of that said, thanks for reading! I'll be back Tuesday.
