UPDATE

  • Posted on September 27, 2010 at 7:28 pm

This past Friday while moving a heavy dresser I hurt my back. I was immobile in bed up until today. I could not take the pain any longer and went to the doctors for an x-ray. It turned out that I sprained my lumbar, and ripped a tendon. I should be back to normal in 3-4 weeks the doctor said. I have no idea how I am suppose to run a household being immobile that long. I am thankful that my two oldest daughters are willing to help out in this area. I am also grateful that I could give them some time off from school to be able to help run the household. 

It is times like these that really make me realise what a gift from the Lord walking really is. To be able to walk without help, and jump out of bed to answer the phone or door, will forever have new meaning to me.

 UPDATE: Thank you to all my dear friends who have lifted me in prayer. I feel your prayers and have been able to get up and walk around the house today.Thank you so much for anyone who has been praying for me.

REVIEW: AVON Planet Spa Palm Desert Rose Clay Facial Cleanser

Beauty Review of:

 
 
 

Planet Spa Palm Desert Rose Clay Facial Cleanser

Planet Spa Palm Desert Rose Clay Facial Cleanser

I got a great deal on some Avon products the other day, this being one of them. I am usually picky about what I put on my face.

This stuff is Amazing. It smells like a rose! It has a creamy clay texture, which comes in a tube. What’s more-IT WORKS!
The difference with this cleanser and every other face cleanser on the market is, this cleanser leaves your face with that  real squeaky clean feeling, but it also feels very moisturizing. I have used it 5x so far. I have never used a cleanser that made my face so squeaky. This may, or may not be a good thing for people with dry skin. For me, I still have teenage skin! Ugh! You’d think I would have been over that by now. It really sinks down to your pores and removes all the sebum, oils, etc. Strips it all away. After you dry your face, it feel so amazingly soft, yet moisturizing, in a not oily way.  I am assuming this feeling is the Rose, and Moroccan oil in it.

On the back of the tube:
PLANET SPA Palm Desert Rose Clay Facial Cleanser is like finding a sanctuary for the mind, body and soul with Palm Desert Rose. These rejuvenating products – infused with soothing Rose Otto Oil – tone, nourish and hydrate your skin. Emerge from a relaxing at-home spa experience with a sense of harmony, balance and total well-being. Tightens and visibly reduces the size of pores.

For those of you wanting to do a quick and easy fast, this is the detox for you. It really gives your digestive system a chance to relax too.

Citrus Detox

What You Will Need For The Two Days:

48 oz. 100% grapefruit juice
32 oz. 100% orange juice
16 oz.  lemon juice
160 oz. distilled water
 1 gal. jug for mixing

What To Do:

Mix together for each gallon:

24 oz.  grapefruit juice,
16 oz.  orange juice,
8 oz.  lemon juice
80 oz. distilled water


This is very good, and very doable. Drink 8 oz. every hour, under the whole gallon is gone. Remember No food. If you find yourself hungry, nibble on some grapes, a pear or  apple. Nothing starchy like bananas though. Keep it clean.
