Wednesday Wishes

Dandelion wish

It’s Wednesday and I find myself in not the bestest mood. I’m grouchy, I have too much to do and not enough time to do it in. I want to bitch and moan, but bitching and moaning never proves to be all that productive for me. Instead, I’d like to take a moment to do what has become a weekly practice for me, Wednesday Wishes.

I’m a strong believer that the Universe is abundant and that you can manifest what you want into your life. It all starts with identifying what it is you want. Once you name it, you can start the process of having it manifest into your life. I don’t judge my wishes either. Some of them are absurdly banal and consist of nothing more than a little retail therapy, whereas others are of a heftier more meaningful nature.

Now, I don’t do this wishing things into existence thing just for myself. I do it for you too. I do it weekly on this blog because I’m hoping you will join me. I’m hoping you will make some wishes for yourself.

Here’s what I’m wishing for this week:

1. My skin needs help. I’ve got acne, psoriasis, and eczema all doing a number on me. I know it is my body screaming that something is not right, that change needs to happen. Universe, please help me find the change and balance that I need to get my skin right.

2. I’m notoriously cheap with myself. I have very sensitive skin and should treat it with care and use the best products that I can afford, but instead I always try to cut cost and end up using a lot of things that I know are not good for me. Last night as my skin was screaming at me, “I’m a mess because you aren’t taking proper care of me, you aren’t taking proper care of you,” I finally ordered bareMinerals foundation.

I’ve heard such good things about it and have always wanted to try it, but I am way too cheap with myself. Anyway…Universe, I’m hoping that the $27 I paid on this stuff ends up being money well spent. The teenage-acne-with-the-breasts-of-a-43-year-old-who-has-nursed-two-children-for-a-total-of-5-years look is not working for me.

That’s all for me this week.

What are you wishing for this week? Don’t be shy tell me in the comments, por please!

    I think hormones can play into that skin stuff too. And drink lots of water to flush out your system. I went through a period where I kept getting acne too and I think it was hormonal. The aging crap does a number on us women!
    I’m just wishing for some clarity on some decisions to be made. Nothing too major though. Have a great rest of the week!

    I think most mothers have a tendency to under appreciate themselves, I know I did. But as my mother told me ‘you have to take care of you, if you are going to take care of them.’ I have heard Bare Minerals is really good. I hope it helps. As Dawn said hormones play a big part and so can allergies, especially when it comes to the psoriasis, and eczema. I wish you clear skin soon.
    As for my wish for myself it is to figure out which direction is the right direction.

    Claudya, Hugs! You are probably stressed with all the tension – our skin picks up on this very quickly. I’ve had rashes appear and disappear as if by magic. Take a few minutes to relax. Glad you treated yourself to the foundation! ♥ And may ALL your wishes come true. You should make this into a regular bloghop you know, like our SIMC!

      Vidya, originally I had wanted to turn it into a blog hop, but I was worried no one would be interested. Sigh…I myself forget to practice what I preach.
