Clearasil’s Perfectawash

*I was in no way compensated for this post, I decided to write it on my own.*

So I’ve been using Proactiv for about, I don’t know, 5 years now and I’ve finally decided that it costs way too much! And I haven’t always kept up with it and used it twice a day like you are supposed to do. When I did, I found that it really worked and my skin cleared up. But because I haven’t been using it twice a day, everyday, I kept getting more shipped to me even when I didn’t need more. I got the shipping interval set to the highest you could make it so I think I was getting a new shipment every 20 weeks. Well even that wasn’t long enough so I just said forget about it and cancelled my membership.

Just recently I have been seeing commercials for this…

It is called Perfectawash and is made by Clearasil. I find it interesting that I’m actually going to use this because I had used Clearasil products before and then they didn’t work so that is why I tried Proactiv. But, I’m willing to give this a try and see how well it works.

Here is what it looks like outside of the box

Here it is with the face wash in place and ready to go.

And here it is in my bathroom, I got rid of the remaining Proactiv I had so I could make room for Perfectawash!

  So here is the before picture. I’m not sure why it isn’t showing up that well, but there is a bunch of acne on my chin. I also have some on my cheeks and there’s a bigger one on my forehead at the moment.  

Here is a close-up of my chin so you see the acne I’m talking about.

 

Not pretty, I know! That’s exactly why I want to get rid of this acne!!!! I mean come on, I’m 22!!! I thought acne was a high school problem!!

So anyway, I’m going to start using the Perfectawash tonight before going to bed and will continue using it in the morning and at night everyday. Then I will take pictures weekly to track my progress. My goal is for this acne to be gone before my wedding, which is in 435 days!!! If it isn’t gone within even half that time, then I don’t know what else I can do for my skin!

Geocaching!!!

So…like I said I would do in my last post, me, my fiancé, and my friend decided to walk down to the park since it was so nice out. And we also decided to go geocaching!! A few of my friends have gotten into it recently but I haven’t had the chance to go with them, so tonight was my first time geocaching. My fiancé has a Droid so we used a GPS app on there to find the geocaches. (Check out www.geocaching.com to learn about Geocaching and what it is if you’ve never heard of it). At first, we were just using the maps app on his phone and it wasn’t very accurate. We tried to go to the place it was telling us the first one was, but it wasn’t there. So then we used the clues that we got from the site and we found it!!!

Me with my first geocache find!! 

We saw that there was another one in the area so we decided to try and find that one. This time, my fiancé downloaded a GPS app. This app worked a lot better than just the maps app. It got us really close to the geocache which my fiancé actually ended up finding.

Here he is with his first geocache find!

He was trying to do the whole “flashlight under your chin” thing, but you can’t really tell because the flash lit it up.

So there ya go, our first geocaching adventure!!! When I got on the site to log our 2 finds, I found there there are 1 or 2 more in the area we were in tonight. So we will have to go back sometime to find the other two!! If you haven’t tried geocaching yet, you need to!! It is so much fun and addicting!!! I can’t wait to go on my next adventure!!

Another thing I’m loving….

So since I wrote my What I'm Loving Wednesday post this morning, I didn’t get to add another thing I love since I hadn’t gone outside yet.

I am LOVING how nice it is outside!!!! It definitely feels like Spring outside right now! One of my friends (and previous co-worker) is coming over soon to check out my new house and catch up for a bit. Then after that I’m going to make dinner and I think me and my fiancé are going to eat outside tonight!! After that, hopefully it’s still nice out, I would love to take a walk to the park which is pretty much in our backyard!!! I’ll be sure to take pictures if we end up doing that. If you live somewhere where the weather is really nice outside, then get outside and enjoy it!!

What I'm Loving Wednesday!

It's been a loooooong time since I've done a "What I'm Loving Wednesday" post, but starting today, I'm going to do one each week!! (Linking up here)

I'm LOVING that I only have 2 more classes and then it's time for Spring Break!! Yeah, I'm still excited even though I'm not going anywhere. I'm just going to be working and catching up on some school work. Oh well, at least it's a break from going to classes!

I'm LOVING my 2 kitties!!! They are my babies!! And I'm so glad that Milo is finally getting along with Mia! (Side note: Milo just attacked Mia. It seemed like it was definitely more than just playing. And, I got scratched pretty good on my foot as I was pulling him away from her)

I'm LOVING the new hand lotion from Layers by Scentsy!! The consultants were given a tube of it at Spring Sprint and I still have mine from February 2nd!! I use it all the time and need to get more!!!

I'm LOVING that there are 437 days until my wedding!!! Sure that seems like it's a loooooong time away, but it will be here before I know it!!

Here is the very first picture of us back in April of 2009!

So what are you loving this Wednesday?? Leave me a comment! Have a great day!!!
