Wash my makeup off every night.

I have to admit I still suck at this. But lately, I’ve been better about it. I really have to remember to do this, but as long as I do, I’m ok about it.

I wonder why I can’t fall into habit with this because I always both brush my teeth and take my contacts out every night. (most of the time.) Maybe I’m lazy, but I’d like to not think that. :)

Either way it’s nice to wake up in the morning not looking like some awful half-Korean rendition of “The Scream” ...with highlighted hair. hah.

Damnit. I have to wash my damn face.

Since I have been staying in a lot, I can say I’ve been doing well with this by default because when I stay home, I generally don’t wear makeup!

But, on the nights I have been out, I have been HORRIBLE about this. My face-washing habits haven’t changed much at all and I’m terribly upset with myself! Arg!

So, my skin is looking better, but just because it’s been really un touched! If I don’t get on this now at 24, I’ll start seeing the repercussions on my face in a few years. And I can’t have that.

I am washing my face tonight.

I have been going out waaaay too much which means I have been getting waaaay too wasted whih means I have been passing the fuck out as soon as I get home.

I’m lucky to get my bra off.

I need to not suck at this!

Today I was good about it, even though I forgot to use my kick-ass tomato toner and now I’m in bed and too lazy to get up again.

Baby steps, right?

I’ve been so good about this I had to blog about it. Wow my life is exciting. :l

Why is this simple concept so hard to pull off? Every since I was young my mother had trained me, groomed me to be dilligent about this task or else you could get gasp! wrinkles!? The HORROR!

You’d think after 24 years of being alive and at least half those years wearing or experimenting with makeup you’d think this would become routine by now. But alas, not yet.

I need to get a hang of this, so I figure recording all scrub sessions for a month or so will help really train it into my system. Then, if I ever have a daughter, I can harp the same habits to her, but perhaps without having to smear the 43 creams on my face that my mom always had to while harping at me. I guess it kind of worked. I’m on it mom.
