I was Curious...: March 2011

I’m really enjoying a program called Dressing Your Truth!

It teaches you how to become your own beauty expert.

Before "Dressing Your Truth" After "Dressing Your Truth"

The Dressing Your Truth online program teaches you what styles and colors are best for you—from clothing and jewelry to hair and makeup. The Dressing Your Truth online course comes with a color card with your colors and a style guide on the back so you know what types of clothes, jewelry and accessories look amazing on you. It makes shopping a great experience instead of a frustrating one.

I am so glad I know I'm a Soft and Subtle Type 2 and what looks best on me! In the process, I have also learned so much about myself and others. Everything about beauty becomes easy and FUN with this program!

Watch a short video about Dressing Your Truth below

Here is a quick overview of each Type:

Type 1: The bright, animated person who has a gift for new ideas and possibilities. The Type 1 expression is naturally upward, light, and upbeat.

Type 2: The soft and calming person who has a gift for gathering details and making plans. The natural movement of Type 2 is fluid and flowing.

Type 3: The swift and dynamic person who has a gift for moving into action quickly to create practical results. The natural movement of Type 3 is active and reactive.

Type 4: The structured and exact person who has a gift for looking at the world through a critical eye and perfecting it. The natural movement of a Type 4 person is constant and precise.

One of My Favorite Books! "It's Just My Nature!"

"It's Just My Nature," by Carol Tuttle has been invaluable to me as a wife and mother. I love this book because it's helped me create better relationships with my family.

By understanding myself and those around me I can appreciate our strengths and weaknesses instead of harshly judging them.

I am now able to honor and encourage my loved one's innate talents and gifts--instead of pushing them to become who I think they should be.

"It's Just My Nature," uses Energy Profiling --- a new and unique profiling system that extends far beyond personality profiling.

Energy Profiling brings a new level of accuracy by analyzing body language, physical features, thought and feeling processes, gifts, and talents, in addition to personality behaviors.

There are FOUR different Energy Types.

Type 1: The bright, animated person who has a gift for new ideas and possibilities. The Type 1 expression is naturally upward, light, and upbeat.

Type 2: The soft and calming person who has a gift for gathering details and making plans. The natural movement of Type 2 is fluid and flowing.

Type 3: The swift and dynamic person who has a gift for moving into action quickly to create practical results. The natural movement of Type 3 is active and reactive.

Type 4: The structured and exact person who has a gift for looking at the world through a critical eye and perfecting it. The natural movement of a Type 4 person is constant and precise.

I'm a Type 2--fluid, flowing, calming and finding out details are my main concern.

My daughter is a Type 1--upward, light, random, upbeat and full of ideas.

My husband and son are Type 4s-- constant, still, precise, exact, and structured. They have a natural gift to step back and see the bigger picture and how to perfect it.

Type 3 people are dynamic. They "Do" things. They are the ones that push themselves and others toward action to get results.

This information can be applied in so many ways...relationships, careers, clothes, decorating, etc. It's also a TON of fun to learn!

The Acne Cure

I wanted to let anyone who suffers with acne know about a book called, The Acne Cure: The Nonprescription Plan That Shows Dramatic Results in as Little as 24 Hours. Following the plan has given me great results. There are a few different products you will need:

2% Salicylic Face Wash (kills surface bacteria)
10% Glycolic Acid (promotes cell turnover)
10% Benzoyl Peroxide (kills bacteria in pores)
A face moisturizer you like (oil-free)
Ice cubes (helps get the benzoil peroxide into the cells to kill the bacteria)
Ice pack (optional)

*Start slow with one step at a time over the course of a week

DIRECTIONS: In the morning and at night I use a 2% Salicylic wash like one of these.

Clean and Clear Advantage 3-in-1 Foaming Acne Wash

Put a small amount of wash in your palm and mix in water until it foams up, then put it on your face. Leave it on your face for about a minute or more, so it can kill the surface bacteria (if it's too drying, just put it on and wash it back off immediately). You can put in on in the shower, then wash your hair, then wash it off your face:

MORNING: I follow the face wash with 10% Glycolic Acid and moisturizer. I've found the best prices for 10% Glycolic Acid at Ulta or Amazon for Alpha Hydrox Oil-Free Formula.

NIGHT: At night I do the face wash again and follow the face wash by rubbing an ice cube everywhere on my face until it is VERY cold, then I put the 10% benzoyl peroxide treatment in my palm and mix a little cold water with it (from the ice cube) and put it all over my face (watch out for your eyebrows and shirt it will bleach them). I like this one: 10% Benzoyl Peroxide Acne Treatment Gel

Then I put an ice pack on my face and rest for about 10 minutes. Most of the time I don't do this--I'm just too tired--but it still works and my acne is TONS better in the morning.

One of the surprising things in the book is using ice to get the benzoyl peroxide into the pores and help get rid of the inflammation and blemishes. It really works! There are great reviews that go into the details on Amazon.

PS: The GLYCOLIC acid treatment also gets rid of fine lines! It is awesome stuff!

PSS: When you first start this program GO SLOW so your skin gets used to the products. Only do the NIGHT routine at first, then after a week add in the morning program. If your face gets too dry or reacts then go back to once a day.
