Dubs, my sorority sister has not changed a bit. Her face is still the same as we were in college. She could still pass for a college student even if she has the OB-gyn title under her belt. She also has an eight-year old daughter that she raised all by herself while finishing her residency and specialization.
After our long day and night out, we went to her place to rest. Before we called it night we talk on some beauty products. I learned from her that he only uses sun block and cheek blushers on her face. She does not wear any make up or even loose powder. She keeps her face shine free by using the oil blot film. She is not comfortable putting gunks on her face as they give her horrible breakouts.
She asked me about the undereye cream that she saw I was using. I told her that I am no longer conscious about the brands of the beauty products. As long as it works for me meaning it does not give me breakouts, I will stick to that product like the eye creams that work for me for over a year now.

As soon as I arrived at home, I just popped some pills, washed up and went straight to bed. After five hours of disturbed sleep (my nieces kept on running around the house screaming), I got up and was disappointed to see that I have breakouts. Now I have to deal with these unsightly pop ups with Acneticin which really works for me.

After my PM shift tomorrow, I will be off for four days. I have requested for these as I plan to get a hair treatment. A form of R and R for myself. To top it off, I am thinking of getting myself a full body massage at my favourite spa center. While I applaud the masseuse there in relaxing my tense muscles, I find it uncomfortable with the smell of the massage room. I think it needs some spa filters to lose the not-so relaxing smell of the supposedly relaxing room.

I do not know if it due to lack of sleep or over thinking some things but I am having serious breakouts. I do not want to blame my face creams because I have been using these for over a year already and the reason I stuck to it is because it does not give me any allergic reactions including zits from popping out of my face. On second thought, I have this tendency to develop immunity to the face creams that I have been using for quite a long time. This immunity means that its intended effect will be reversed. So I guess it’s high time for me to scout for some organic face cream that will work for me for the next couple of years.

Since I cannot have my hair rebounded as yet, I have decided to go for a hair cut to sort of manage my mane. I had a quick trim at my favorite salon and the stylist there kept on talking me into having a good treatment for my ill-looking tress. I just kind of shook the topic off like a dandruff of my shoulders by telling him that I have no budget for it yet and I will be back as soon as I collected money already.

Getting my hair grow back is one of the signs that I am on remission. The problem about it though is that they seem to grow in uncontrolled manner which is hard to manage. The way to tame the little hair is by using the maximum hold hairspray but I am scared that this will cause hair loss or itchy scalp problem. Right now I am in to some sort of hair loss preventions so as not experience the problem I used to have with my tress.

The hospital shifts are already known to be crazy and I could day that my mind somehow has adapted to this craziness. I have to right to complain because this is what I prayed for and many would kill for this job. The only consolation I get from enduring the long and tiring shifts is the words of gratitude from the patients and their relatives. They could not believe that they are actually in a public hospital because they are getting good service. Delighting them is actually not an issue to me the only problem I have is getting rid of blackheads that seem to enjoy staying on my face. Am I really that hospitable?

I was really pleased by the turn out of my shift. Although it was pretty toxic, I managed to rise above the occasion. One of the toughest parts of my duty was starting an IV line to a patient who’s due for coronary angiogram. Being in the pit for almost three months already, the staff nurses are expecting me to manage simple IV insertion tasks considering that I am a certified IV therapy nurse. In single attempt, I was able to get through the vein successfully. As I emerged from the patients room, the bedside nurse told me that the IV line of my other patient has gotten out of the vein. He tried repositioning and pushing saline but there was resistance. I also tried that same but it was a failure. I had no choice I had to reinsert. It was a success.
I noticed though that my eyes were getting dry then making me uncomfortable during the IV insertions. I guess the best eye cream could help my eyes relax. I need them to be in best shape at all times.

I have had 4 straight PM shifts last week and yesterday was the break to those crazy shifts and now, I am back on PM shift. It’s really hard to adjust on sleep pattern. I just woke up and I still feel sleepy. I am thankful that there’s no pimple breakout as yet but I think I will be needing an age spot cream to prevent those crow’s feet from showing up this very early.

I have crazy work schedule and at times I get confused on which face cream should I put on my face after washing up. I have different creams for day and night so if I came from a night shift and I will sleep during the day, I usually ask myself which cream should I use. A simple question but I think it’s very substantial.
