Motivational Monday! ~ 12/30/13

Hey everyone!

I had a wonderful Christmas last week and hope you all did as well! If you celebrate something else, I hope that rocked, as well!

Time for this week's dose of motivation. This is the last one for 2013, folks, so let's make it count!

Ring in the new year right - be safe, enjoy the company of others, and get off to a good start!!

Happy New Year! <3

Thought this was a good one since I've been getting fit for the last half of 2013 and it's very symbolic of what humans should be for one another!

Remember to have a positive day! :)

Hugs,
Lauren

Motivational Monday! (x2) ~ 12/23/13

Hey guys!

Sorry [once again] for not posting last week...I honestly think the day just got away from me and I hate the thought of posting "Motivational Monday" on a Tuesday, so that's why I wait until the week after to make up for it.

Anyways, here you go! Enjoy and have a magical week and Merry Christmas!!! xoxo

This quote is everything! So much truth behind it.

Merry Christmas one and all and remember...this quote is what the holiday season is all about!

Remember to have a positive day! :)

Hugs,

Before & After Photos: Dr. Max Powers Scar Gel

Hey guys!

I recently posted a video reviewing the Dr. Max Powers Scar Serum. I'll link that below so you can hear my thoughts on the product overall.

I had mentioned during the video that I would post the before and after pictures on my blog or Instagram and I figured this was an easier way to put everything in one place and be more detailed.

Without further ado, enjoy!

Picture 1: Soon after I cut my arm.
Picture 2: Before picture. About 1 year after I got the cut, before starting the scar gel. *Note - lighting is off and it looks like there's not much of a scar, but this is misleading. It's longer and darker than in the after photo.
Picture 3: After picture. As I stated in the video, the scar has not completely subsided, but it has become shorter in overall length and a lot lighter and less noticeable.

Picture 1: Before picture. This was after the curling iron burn mark healed and before any treatment.
Picture 2: After picture. Just like the cut on my arm, this isn't completely gone because of how bad it was. However, it's smaller overall and fading continuously.

I also mentioned in the video review how I used this scar gel on a couple acne scars. The reason I don't have before and after pictures for those is because they completely disappeared - yay!

Don't forget to check out the video review! :)

Remember to have a positive day! :)

Hugs,
Lauren

Motivational Monday! (x2) ~ 12/9/13

Hey everyone!

So sorry for not posting your weekly dose of Motivational Monday last week! I honestly forgot and can't remember why...I must have been super busy! I recently picked up three different babysitting jobs and will possibly [hopefully] be getting a job at a local daycare soon, too! So all that mixed with holiday maddness and the end of the semester makes for a pretty crazy me! ;)

But you know I always make up for it when I miss a week, so enjoy your double dose, once again! <3

Anyways, hope everyone is getting their week off to a terrific start! xoxo

People have told me this countless times, yet I really have to start believing it more!

'Nuff said! Go full force for what you know you love to do, no matter what others say! <3

Remember to have a positive day! :)

Hugs,
Lauren
