Grass, Funerals and Faces.

So today is the FIRST day we have spotted grass on our lawn. we planted it and watered it , but not enough, so after like 2 or 3 weeks, we started watering it A LOT. and i think its been like one week, we , and when i say we, i mean me, spotted grass. i was the first to spot grass. dan was pretty excited, i think this makes his summer. anyways, so thats always good. now we might have a backyard afterall!
so we are heading to Utah this thursday, first think in the morning, to see grandma Ruby's funeral. She died friday. But it was a good thing, she was ready, and think of all the fun she's having now. She's finished her time on Earth. wow. that would be a wierd, and amazing feeling. to realize you are finished with your Earthly experience.
so school is going well. i have given one facial , to Tamra , another new student. and i have gotten 2. We use Dermalogica products. very top of the line. my face feels GREAT after one of those treatments. i have a test tomarrow, but i dont think it will be too bad. its kinda wierd, everybody in my class cares about school a lot! i forget that once you hit college and people are paying for it, they try hard. being in grade school i was lucky if i had one or two in the class were really cared about school. but its really interesting stuff we learn about the skin. like did you know that chap sticks actually dry your lips out? i know some of you knew this, and you dont use it for that reason, but i checked on my chapstick, which is Natural Ice, and it even says it "TEMPORARILY protects lips". and you should always check your lotions, most of them are comedogenic, which means they cause things like blackheads, whiteheads and breakouts, because they are like a bar of soap, they have waxes or articial things making their shelf life longer. you can use essential oils, like sesame seed oil for lotion and it wont clog your pores. and face soaps like clean and clear, actually cause breakouts. they are like a bar of soap. and you should always use a toner, because when you wash your face, its sometimes feels really dry after, and your skin tells itself to make more sebum (oil, that causes breakouts if too much is there), and then you put on a moisterizer because your skin is dry, and then you have too much moisture and you break out, or get blackheads and the like. anyways interesting stuff huh? and after only one week! oh, and if you do have breakout, dont scrub your face hard, if you scrub hard, you only increase blood flow and make it really red and puffy. VERY soft scrubbing, so as not to increase blood flow.
Well, im gona go! as soon as i find my camera i will take some pictures of maggie and the kids and maaret to post!
