One Month Check-in & My Humble Apology

Well, to be honest, I have had a hard time getting going on my Votre Vu challenge. I started out strong on the first few days - made sure to use everything that I had received twice daily. I wasn't sure if I was noticing any improvements, but I kept at it none-the-less.

At the end of the first week I received unrelated but very good news. I was offered a new job with a company that I was very interested in working at. I decided to take the position and made preparations to start about a week and a half later. Then panic set in.

Not only was I going to have to work on my beauty routine for my face, but now I was going to have to work on my unruly hair every day (thick and curly) AND I was going to have to get my work wardrobe in order. I had spent the last 7 years getting ready for work by doing the following: get up, brush teeth, splash water on my face, brush back hair into a ponytail if I just showered or just pull it up if I had showered the night before, throw on jeans and a shirt, run out the door.

Now I was going to work at a place that has business casual and I had to get my act in gear to make sure I looked civilized (the days of working a a dot com were over!).

So, between mentally detoxifying myself from the last two and a half years with the last employer, getting up much earlier to get to this new job, attempting to revamp myself visually, and getting familiar with a new company and my new job, I have been exhausted and haven't had enough stamina to keep up with my posts here. I hope to do better from now on.

I can say one thing about the products that I'm using. I have been consistently using the eye cream and the face wash and I do notice a difference. I'm getting less breakouts and the awful bags under my eyes are really different (in a good way). More on that to come.
