That’s right. My face hurts. As I had posted before, I was looking to find a new facial cleanser and moisturizer. Well, I found it all right and it gave me the worst adverse reaction EVER. Saturday my face started hurting and I could tell it was really drying out. I went that morning and had my eye brows waxed (which I’m sure irritated it even more) and within a few hours my face turned extremely red, burned as if I had just gotten the worst sunburn imaginable, and started literally flaking off. I tried putting lotion on and OMG it felt like my face was literally on fire. So I ended up going to CVS and the pharmacist gave me some ointment and told me to load up on Benadryl. So I spent the rest of the weekend practically comatose from the Benadryl and wishing I could just peel my face off. I’m hoping and praying that this all calms down so I can wear makeup next week!
As far as the beauty shop advice. While I was getting my brows done, we got on the conversation of me getting married. The 60-something year old woman doing my brows said “I’m just going to give you one piece of advice. Love him always. No matter what. Unless it’s abuse of course.” She went on to say “I wish I would have learned that lesson before it was too late. Instead I let pride get in the way and didn’t realize it before I lost my husband.” I automatically thought she meant her husband had passed, but that wasn’t the case. Her husband had left and divorced her and she said it was all because she let her pride get in the way. Just the words ‘Love him always’ has stuck with me the past few days and I think that’s the best advice I’ve been given when it comes to marriage. I’ve had everyone under the sun trying to tell me what they think and give me there advice – which is sometimes “Don’t do it!”. But this…I think it’s advice I will hold on to.
