How I did it
It made me
Proud 
How I did it: I didn't think I'd be able to do it right away but you've got to start somewhere, right? I watched a Youtube video about how to do it properly then gave it a go against a wall. I fell a lot but since I was against a wall it didn't matter. Eventually I got it right and now I'm just working on doing my headstand with control and elegance and edging away from the wall.

How I did it: my hands were getting way too cold so I looked up a pattern online for crocheted mittens, bought yarn, borrowed a hook, and started. I've done a fair bit of crocheting before -- nothing too difficult, but a lot of practice. In my opinion, it's easier than knitting mittens. Read how I did it…

Really want to join Onelife Fitness but money is an issue, eek. Thinking of asking my parents for a membership as my birthday present.

Today I bought a new cleanser, a good moisturizer with sunscreen, a new scrub, and a retinol cream to start using once or twice a week.
my new routine (on a basic level) is to rinse my face and moisturize/sunscreen every morning, cleanse at night and put on either a moisturizer or retinol cream before bed. I’ll also scrub once a week.
I used my nice new products tonight and my skin feels clean, soft, & springy already. yay!
Now, the challenge is to stick with the routine…
