Spots And Scratches

Well, that day is finally here. My six year old son officially has the dreaded chicken pox. They seem to be clustering around his mouth, mostly, though they are all over his body. He's doused in calamine lotion, which i've avoided putting on his face as it dries the skin out. I think it's a necessary evil to have it on his body, even if it scars. The skin there is more robust, so even if he has immediate scars, they shouldn't follow him into adulthood, especially as they'd get smaller with time. For example, I once dropped melted plastic on to my knuckle, and it melted a large patch of my skin. That's now just a little pinprick scar. Oh, sidenote.. (i do that a lot), I also once had two triangle cuts on the back of my hand which took up most of the skin there. I now have two small triangle scars. They're pretty funky (:

But, that aside.. i've finally slept! I still feel tired, but my eyes don't feel like they're rolling back. I really need to figure out this whole sleep thing, lol. Why is it that sleeping is such a simple thing when you're a kid, but not so much when you're an adult? I would love to get a solid five or six hours a night, never mind the recommended 7-8. I guess i'm just too busy!

Medical things out the way, i've decided not to start my trial of the benefit products yet. With Damien as he is, I don't think that i'd be able to focus on it as much as i should do. One thing I will say, though, is that the Porefessional cream came with an additional tester thing, which was like the kind you get in magazines - I tried it on my own skin and it looked great, but the real surprise was when I tried it on my housemate's face. She would claim her pores on her face are her number one most hated feature, and as soon as I put it on her, the pores were almost invisible. In that kind of wow, what a difference! way. I can safely say that, with the right foundation on top of the Porefessional cream, you wouldn't even be able to tell she had issues with her pores.

Needless to say, i'm definitely going to be buying two bottles of Porefessional by Benefit. Four thumbs up from my housemate and I.

As soon as Damien's feeling a bit better, i'll get to reviewing the other products and will do a whole blog feature on them.

Peace out, strangelings.
