Do Something

I pulled this graphic from the Blog of Impossible Things (one of my favorites!)

This message resonates with me especially on days when my journey or path isn’t clear. I’m finding that my biggest obstacle in life is me, and being too much in my head. I can talk myself out of anything.

I recognize the feeling as discomfort. The same feeling I have when I resist the urge to eat more. It’s the same one that tells me not to act, not to participate, and not to make goals and dreams a reality. It can be small from putting off doing the dishes until tomorrow, or not flossing before bed, to not balancing my income and budget. It’s the slight twinge that pulls me back.

And so often I  have to stop thinking and just do. Getting out of my head is the best medicine for me. Sometimes I’m so afraid that acting without thought will be the mistake, but inaction is often even worse.

How are you getting out of your head today?

Many people don’t realize that panic attacks happen very frequently to a lot of people so if you are a person who gets these awful attacks don’t be ashamed because you’re not the only one.

Control Your Breathing

Dermatologist Recommended Skin Care



If you’re like me, when you look for something like skin care, a recommendation by a professional makes a big difference, right? But what if that recommendation is not all it’s cracked up to be?

In other words, what if “Dermatologist Recommended” doesn’t really mean that a skin care product is effective, or even safe for your skin?

Sadly, that’s the case with some products.

These dermatologist recommended skin care creams and other products probably are recommended by some doctor, somewhere, but they are full of chemicals that are not helpful to your skin and may be harmful not only to your skin but to your overall health-chemicals like acrylamides, parabens and alchohol. Many of these products contain carcinogens and neurotoxins.

Is this really something you want to put on your skin?

No, probably not. So how do these products get to be dermatologist recommended skin care?

There are two reasons.

First, there is always a doctor who will recommend something in exchange for the name recognition or the money involved. That’s just a sad truth.

Second, you have to understand that chemicals are a part of the world of medicine. Dermatologists use chemicals all the time; they’re called medicine. They may not really be thinking in terms of how these chemicals affect your skin long-term, because they’re focusing on fixing the immediate problem.

But your focus is on healthy skin, and for that you need a natural solution.

Fortunately, you can find natural dermatologist recommended skin care products. The key is to look for natural ingredients that target the issues you’re hoping to correct.

What To Look for in Skin Care Products

One important ingredient to look for is natural Vitamin E. Active manuka honey and avocado oil, as well as babassu, will help your skin stay well-hydrated and resist signs of aging. Because these ingredients are all-natural and completely organic, you could eat them! You can apply them to broken skin to promote healing, so you can imagine that they will help keep your skin young-looking and healthy.

Naturally, you don’t even have to know that these ingredients are part of a dermatologist approved skin care regime to know that they are great for your skin. But what do they do?

Avocado oil stimulates the production of collagen while reducing age spots, while babassu prevents dry skin and creates a layer of protection to lock in moisture and keep out dirt and pollutants. Manuka honey is an antibacterial that stimulates the production of collagen and elastin, and helps soothe serious skin conditions. Vitamin E is a powerful antioxidant that helps reduce blemishes, age spots and wrinkles. So you can see that these ingredients are very important in any natural dermatologist recommended skin care product.

So what’s the bottom line? Always go natural and always know the ingredients in any product you choose. Dermatologist recommended skin care may have it’s place but you need to educate yourself as well.
