My Not So Normal Life and A Few Other Things.

What products have you been using for the month of September ?   What products do you regret buying?  What are your must haves?  These have got to be my most used products. I have reached for (products listed in the order I use them as well linked below ) - Day & Night Time Skincare routine - I still use my Dermalogica Products. I am happy with my results and how my skin feels.  I simply can't say how happy I am with this brand I have loved everything I tried so far .  *If you want a more in depth review about the products I use you can read about it here  http://bbloggerfightinlupus.blogspot.com/2016/03/my-skin-care-routine.html -Moisturizer  is my Dermalogica- Dynamic skin recovery SPF50. I love that this also has a Broad Spectrum sunscreen in it . It is very firming and moisturizing. **I always add a bit more SPF because of my Lupus.  The sun hurts me more so I never go a day without this, even if I am just laying in be...

I am no longer able to sleep without medication . Eating Food Sucks i have sores inside my mouth and on my gums which make eating hard. I try to drink water and eat something so that I can take my Medications  (which now is up to 8 pills ) After I take my medication I am sick to my stomach  sometimes I lay back down till i  feel a bit bet...

But I would have to have a front porch first, living in a town home takes that away .  Fall is just right around the corner and I couldn't be more excited. This is the one season that I can actually be outside more.  The weather is almost perfect for me and I don't have to worry about the hot summer sun blasting down and making me sick or getting a butterfly rash .  It's not cold enough to freeze me to death.  That is my burden with this Lupus Disease.  It's just a no win with me. I am either too hot and sick  or too cold and stiff  to where my body will shut down .   I enjoy watching the leaves change colors, the fashion that is boots,hoodies, Sweaters. But most of all...
