I want to start today’s post by saying how surprised I am at the number of families who celebrated Thanksgiving yesterday here in Guatemala. Although not a national holiday, seeing them celebrate it, gathering with their families and sharing photos of their turkeys on social media, certainly made me feel as if I were back in the U.S.- increasing that ‘Thanksgiving spirit’ even more for me. So, thank you!
This year I have so much to be thankful for. Although things haven’t always been perfect- we certainly had our own fair share of adversities to deal with- for most of it, we have been truly blessed. And most importantly, we feel privileged to have a roof over our heads, food on our table, family and friends we can rely on, very good health and, of course, to have each other.
Ok, I've got to admit it, this post is going to be a short one and really just purely for self-indulgence.
With so many events, photoshoots, not enough sleep and high doses of stress (it’s that time of year!), it’s not surprising that in these past couple of months, after being heavily exposed to huge amounts of makeup, my skin became unusually stubborn and prone to breakouts.
Even after thoroughly cleansing my face two to three times per day, following a rigorous beauty routine and maintaining a healthy diet, nothing seemed to be working or helping it improve. My skin felt oilier than usual and the unwelcome breakouts continued to make its appearance about once per week.
I love Thanksgiving. There’s something about gathering with your loved ones around a dinning table, sharing a delicious and comforting meal and being thankful for all of life’s blessings that make this holiday one I look forward to every year.
