Weekend Adventuring

 This Sunday's good things include everything from this past weekend. This weekend was a really good one. It's been raining since Friday, but I have no complaints because it feels so fresh and clean and Spring is officially here, which means that there are only 13 days until we go home to California and I can't wait. It's been a long year. There have been many tears, many sleepless nights, many worries and contemplations and reminiscing. There have also been many joys, many hugs and many laughs. One of the biggest blessings has been the man who has stayed by my side through it all and who inspires me to live life to the fullest and supports me and loves me, even when times get tough.

We decided to take advantage of the dreary weather and go exploring this weekend. On Friday after classes, we took a walk along the beach, which is about 10 minutes from our campus. We walked, talked, took pictures and enjoyed some quiet time together, taking advantage of not having cell service. Breaks like that are so necessary.

Current Spring Skincare

Wait, I'm alive? Yes, yes I am. I've been trying to think of a really spectacular way of coming back to blogging, but I couldn't come up with much except a bunch of beauty/skincare-themed updates, so we're just going to get into it. Excuses for not posting since December? Tons. Any of them worth delving into? Not really. 

My skin is *knock on wood* finally starting to be in the best condition it's ever been in, and hopefully by summer, I'll be even more confident with it. I'm struggling less with breakouts and more with hyper pigmentation and dryness, both the effects of the scars I'm working on healing; I've been focusing on the overall brightness and dewey-ness of my skin. A little more vitamin D exposure will help, but in the meantime, I've corralled a few products that I've worked into my skincare regimen that I'm really liking. 

It takes a lot of courage for me to post something unedited and barefaced and not feel self-conscious about it, so this is kind of a big deal 👏🏼
