Happy belated 4th of July! Have I got updates for you all! So! Number one, I’m super late on 3M because…I was out doing stuff that people with two working feet do! Walking? Nope…but standing yes. I had the opportunity to make sure I still had my skills and I did makeup on Saturday! A friend of mine owns a cosmetic brand and I did her makeup for her 3-year brandiversary! She had this same event last year for the second year but I told her very specifically to not schedule it for 8/7/22 because I was the maid of honor in a wedding. Guess who scheduled their brandiversary on 8/7/22? That guy did. So, I had to redeem myself. We did a super fun bold and bright color that really fit the model for her brand and she was ecstatic! First time in months and it felt great! Until that night of course when my foot puffed and fluffed. That Sunday I recovered from all the activity and remembered when I went to lay down that I hadn’t scheduled my post. Sigh…But that’s okay! If you ever get tired of waiting for me, I highly encourage you to search through the contents of my blog as I have plenty of articles and updates to share. 😊 Last update I have is, I graduated myself from PT, so no more $160 a week! That makes me as happy as can be because it will allow me to hop back on the bandwagon to make sure my jaw doesn’t lock again and will allow me to progress with my goals. With that being said, lets grab a nice light snack to tie us over and a refreshing beverage because it’s been crazy hot, and we’ll get started!!!
Even though I pay a little extra in interest, I highly encourage scheduling activity to your debts weekly. I can tell you, it really helps me stay motivated.
Wait until next 3M when I show you my contributions and updates for this week! It was pretty stellar and I was able to knock off a little chunk for my future debts. This means I’ll pay things off sooner. 😊
In regards to my debt? The number keeps going down! I’m trying to do everything I can to keep up the momentum and so should you, but keep in mind, that Emergencies happen.
There’s one thing I want you all to know. I guess it’s a bit of a confession. All this debt I’m paying down, is all consumer debt. This means it shows up on my credit report. There is one debt that I put at an extremely low priority and that’s…medical debt. I’ve spent a crazy amount of money on taking care of myself. Once I become debt free, the plan was to pay everything down and get rid of it all. Probably a bit casually. I’m one of those weirdos that thinks I shouldn’t have to pay for preventative care or to remain healthy. I’ve saw how medical bills have ruined families and it just doesn’t feel right. I DO NOT encourage this. Please pay your debts down. I’m only one person and I have to put something as a priority. So I prioritized my consumer debts. I have it together…but I don’t have it together. There’s always room for improvement.
I do think the health care industry is shady as an FYI…
Pro-Makeup Artist/Licensed Esthetician Tip:
I actually had the opportunity to chat with someone about different skin care options for exfoliation. This person had gotten dermaplaning (using a special razor to remove your facial hair and shave off the top layer of skin) and loved it. She really wanted to go back and get a chemical peel and we had a conversation about microdermabrasion. As your friendly (virtual) neighborhood esthetician, pick a method that works. If you want to try all 3, go for it. For me, I have done a form of dermaplaning because I like to shave my face before applying makeup because it glides on smooth as butter. For me, microdermabrasion was the next best as an option since I have to have a specialty tool. We’re all getting older, it’s best to get a solid skin care routine together now to help prevent age from getting the upper hand.
