Day 01 – 30 Day Blog Challenge
The day isn’t through, but I figured that I could talk about yesterday and a bit of today. The past 24-hours have been a bit of roller coaster. Most of which was spent at Barnes & Nobles. And I should say right now that bookstores are my haven, my sanctuary from life. My stays at the bookstore usually involves me glancing through the new titles, flipping through the mangas, and then attacking the Sci-Fi and Fantasy section with greed. Amazingly, that wasn’t what happened. I applied for a few jobs via online and then read a resource book on blogging. Educational, but most of which didn’t really apply to me much. I also had a whole different little adventure of my own with applying for jobs and setting up interviews… which has inspired me to start blogging about job hunting.
A photo of yourself and a description of how your day was.
Overall? My 24-hours have been productive to some ends.
I’m sure many of you have noticed that I have been an absolute bum about updating this blog regularly so here’s something to try and motivate me to post on a daily basis. The 30 Day Blog Challenge was posted up on Katy’s blog and I figured, why not? If it will get me to be more active and keep me blogging then it must be for my own good. Not to mention that I really don’t want this blog fail ^^;;
But what does the challenge entail? Well… here’s the list:
Day 1 – A photo of yourself and a description of how your day was.
Day 2 – A photo of something you ate today.
Day 3 – Your idea of the perfect first date.
Day 4 – Your favorite photograph of your best friend.
Day 5 – A photo of yourself two years ago.
Day 6 – A photo of an animal you’d love to keep as a pet.
Day 7 – Your dream wedding.

Last time I wrote about the differences on facial lotions so I have now moved on to body moisturizer. Yes, the key word is moisturizer. Why? Because I found out there are in fact SEVERAL types: lotion, cream, and butter. And yes, I realize that two of those sound like as if they are edible, but I must advise against digesting any moisturizers, no matter what they’re called.
Being the ignorant woman that I am, I researched on the beautiful internet to find what the differences are and why there needs to be so many different types of body moisturizers.
- Body lotion, what I believed to be the only kind of lotion outside of facial lotion, is a light and non-greasy moisturizer. It has an oil and water combination which allows for the skin to hydrate and soften.
- Body cream is very much the same as body lotion, including the oil and water base. The only difference is that it has a heavier consistency which makes it more suitable for dry skin.
- Body butter is best for extremely dry skin since it is stronger (and heavier) than the other two moisturizers. It also creates a protective layer over the skin to prevent the loss of moisture. And since the natural ingredients are vitamin rich, body butter provides over beneficial properties.
So what’s the plan? Since I have dry skin I should stick to cream, but I might switch it up on hot days. But once the temperature starts to drop… well, I might need to start investing in some body butter.
