If you could turn back the hands of time, and have softer smoother skin.
If you could actually heal your own skin like magick. What would it be worth to you? What would you be willing to pay.
What other indulgences that you currently pay for, would you be willing to give up?
Those are the questions that I have asked myself. I am not 'well off'. I am no a celebrity. I don't have money to throw away.
I sacrifice TV subscriptions. *lol* I know. It doesnt actually sound like much. But I do love movies and tv series. I sacrifice:
HBO Max, Paramount+, Peacock, Amazon Prime, a land-line phone, purchasing less digital graphics online than normal, hair salon.
These are the things I have said good-bye to, to feel better about how my skin looks. And my hair does NOT look bad with not going to the salon. I'll go get it trimmed soon. But I do not go every six weeks anymore.
I am still faithful to my daily intake of Liquid Collagen by Spoiled Child. I have been trying to purchase at least 1 new product per month to try out different hair products, skin products. I can't stand the taste of the Max Multivitamin Liquid.
This month I am trying out the hair growth spray. When your already a member you don't pay full price. I don't pay $59.00 It has Rosemary in it, which is known to increase hair growth. Smells very very nice too!!
I know how hard it is to trust the ads and videos that are thrown at us constantly. Everything is expensive in the world right now. And maybe that won't ever change. But I do feel good that I am doing something positive and healthy for myself with the Spoiled Child products.
I'm not one to buy something or say its great just because a celebrity or many celebrities use it. Or 'say' they are using it. I try for myself and see results for myself.

Love it!! Love the results and how I feel.
I stopped taking the vitamin one. I just can not handle that tropical flavor.
I'm exercising. Not huge full on work out. But I do some marches and calf lifts each day.
My hair looks totally awesome. And hasn't even been colored or cut in a number of months lol I'm wearing it down more often. Trying to get away from that 'bun' addiction I've fallen into over the years. It's been down for 2 weeks now. :D yay me.
I have very recently started hormones too, for menopause.
Progesterone (sp??) at night, and I am doing the patch for
the Estrogen. Only 1 week in on the patch. So am hoping to see a
good improvement in mood and many things; and move up to the
next dosage at my 1 month check in with my doctor.
Maybe it hasn't been long enough...
Maybe its a medication that I have in my system, that makes this product clash with my system?... But I really can't commit to taking something and paying money out when I can't stand the taste of it lol

Go There
I don't like things like fruit punch or 'tropical twist' as this one is called.
I can't speak to the results yet really.
I am forcing myself to drink it every morning, 1st thing.
1 TBSP
But, i do not look forward to it. And I do take it first so I get to wash
that flavor away with the dreamy mango collagen :D * big smiles * lol
I'm not even for sure how long I should hang with it to see improvements.
I haven't really read up on this product either or watched any of the videos. I should probably go do that. Just been so super busy at work. Then come home and work on scrap kits, and checking in with family...
ok. ok. Off I go to go learn more about this super duper vitamin shenanigans

Today he celebrates his 42nd birthday.
Cancer free. One less kidney. but hey... what can ya do. I am so thankful he is well and almost finished with his 18 months of post-op infusions. The infusions have been every 6 weeks, for 18 months to help give his antibodies a jump start and to help kill any residual cancer cells that may have been lurking outside of the kidney...
wow! 42. 42 years ago at 11:00 at night I just wanted to go to sleep. Nope. Killer pain down my legs. Lost my mucus plug. Thought it would be a grand idea to move furniture (a heavy hide-a-bed in 1984 at 17 years old lol) So he came 2 days before my due date.
Nobody around. Home all alone. I just wanted to go to sleep lol
I started to try to walk to the hospital. Got to the end of the block. Ummm no, Thats not going to work out Julie. lol Ended up calling my grandma and grandpa. My grandpa Jennings was there when I was born. And now I needed him to help me into the hospital and would be there when my son is born. By the time I got to the hospital. He was here 45 minutes later. At 1:34 a.m.
He has endured A LOT. He has conquered a lot too. I am so so proud of my baby boy.
Born: July 21, 1984 1:34 a.m.
Forever sweet and always taking care of his mama.
meeee! *hee hee hee*

Fingers in my right hand just feel like they are shattered. Got a very very firm hand shake from a man today that really hurt. My right wrist and shoulders have been giving me a lot of pain lately. I don't ever need pain reliever in the evenings. It's really intense. So I took a couple of Tylenol.
Of course the products are cheap. lol And they do actually seem to work. So, its just a matter of looking at finances and deciding what to go without. I guess I don't actually have to have Starz all year round. I only use it for watching Outlander and Blood of my Blood. And Outlander is over with now. Maybe the earlier episodes can be watched somewhere else?..
