Skin Changes That Come with Motherhood

Wednesday, February 24, 2016

I have been close friends with Claire since we were in elementary school. She's one of those people who I've always looked up to and who has just the nicest, purest heart. She's guest posting for me today about a topic that we can ALL relate to: OUR SKIN! Whew I know mine has changed in different ways with each pregnancy and I appreciate knowing I'm not alone! (Since she does  mention our teenage friendship I couldn't resist the opportunity to post this little gem of us! ha!) ***** Congratulations! You're pregnant! You are officially on the way to becoming a mother.  People will start to notice that special glow, which may or may not be, sweat glistening from your brow after spending the morning hugging the toilet. Don't get me wrong: I loved being pregnant. I had morning sickness well into my second trimester, but I still loved it. This is me at 38 weeks pregnant with my little boy, Wright. He was born just before Christmas weighin...

25 Years Old = Wrinkles :(

Tuesday, March 30, 2010

When editing the pictures from the wedding I noticed something that made me sad. Yup, I have my first wrinkles :( They are at the corners of my eyes when I smile. Is that called crow's feet?!? Whatever they are called, they suck big time!!! It's just proof that I'm getting older and I don't like it!!! I'm now on a mission to prevent future wrinkles and make my current ones less noticeable! On top of wanting to prevent wrinkles I also want to prevent sun damage. My dad has had skin cancer removed multiple times and I don't want that to be me! I also have noticed that I get spots of darker pigmentation. I went to a dermatologist recently about this (after Kye was born it seriously looked like a I had a MUSTACHE b/c the skin was so dark right there!) and she told me that I have dark skin that gets darker when it's hot. I've always loved my skin color and love that I tan SUPER easy but she said the downside of that is these dark spots will keep coming up...
