Farmgirl Dirty

When your working on a farm, theres about nothing you can do to stay clean! Between the cows, chickens and hay you can get all kinds of dirty.  Don't get me wrong...sometimes dirty is good but, not when it comes to your face. So heres a little on my cleansing routine and my holy grail skin care device.

The Clarisonic Mia 2 and current skin care products. 

I tend to be on the drier side of things when it comes to my skin. I know that the main fix would be to drink lots of water but lets be honest....who loves to drink boring water all day? Anyways, with the dirt and the allergens, I can't afford to not wash my face. I needed to find something that was gentle enough for my skin but got the job done!

So here it is!

The Clarisonic Mia 2. I have done so much research on this little guy right here! It took me a while but Jaclyn Hill, a beauty guru on Youtube finally sold me on it. It cleans deep down into the pores of your skin with a light exfoliation. Through the variety  options, I chose the Mia 2 because it had two speed settings and was a more comfortable fit in hand.  You can choose from multiple different designs and colors.   

The Mia 2 has a power button and a speed button on the front face. Once you turn it on you can change the speed to your liking. It was interesting that it had a timed cycle to it, because I always wondered if maybe I was washing to much of a sensitive area on my face and didnt want to make it worse. It has a slight vibration to alarm you that it's now time to move on to the next area. (20 sec.-nose and chin, 20 sec. -forehead and 10 for each cheek) There are different brush heads and devices to choose from. 

Brush heads vary with different devices.
Left to right: Acne, Deep pore, Delicate, Sensitive, Normal and Body. 

As I started using it regularly I noticed some great improvements!

First: My skin felt like a baby's bottom! A soft and smooth one that is. The texture improved from rough and bumpy to smooth and soft. 

Second: I felt as though it was cleansing deeper into my pores. I noticed it helped reduce breakouts ( with the help of my purity cleanser) and un-evenness. 

Third- I was achieving more of a flawless look when I applied my liquid foundation.

Farm girl+beauty= what?

Now, don't get me wrong theres still a lot of learning for me left to do but, iv'e always been a little bit of a farm girl. I grew up on smaller farms as a little girl and now I'm currently working on one. There was just always something about having a one of a kind friendship with a farm that you couldn't find anywhere else.

I was a cutie wasn't I? (Embarrassed face)

Showing swine as a youngster. 

When I was younger I showed horses and swine. Theres nothing wrong with having a few furry friends, right? Eventually I quit show but I never stopped loving, raising and caring for these guys. Now, as an eighteen year old I still ride horses and take care of pigs but I'm a bit more of a "beauty queen."

Now, I tend to sometimes get myself in trouble because I love trying new things...products! Im like a child who is experiencing chocolate cake for the first time when I hear about a new foundation or moisturizing lotion. Even if the cows and chickens are the only ones to see my fancy new lipstick color and my choice in the wrong foundation color...i'm happy.  So what better to do than to share my thoughts and opinions about these things with YOU!

So here it is...my first blog/post. You'll get to know more about me, a little about my life and the products your wondering about!
