i've been getting quite a few emails about the posh beauty regimen that i treat myself to every day. yup, every single day (sometimes twice, like tonight). i'll share the glamour. gotta give to receive, right? for starters. i'll let you know who my skinspirations are: 
the beautiful ethiopian stunner liya kebede, the ever-glowing kate hudson & obviously the world famous $1200-per-bottle-moisturizer connoisseur j.lo.
project pure radiance in full effect. number one rule of thumb/weakness/impulse purchase: buy anything containing the word glow. mmm, glow; now that's the four-letter word that i live to hear. (haha)
it was so funny at church today. i got up and told a story about my family and the cancer and the way god is speaking to me and inspiring me to do so much positivity. i was like, "when people ask me these days about my glow i don't have to respond with the brand of moisturizer that i'm using, it's god. i'm just so happy and enlightened right now that he's making me shine." i got a standing ovation for that too. it's the truth though. it really is. god is love. god is glow.
so brina and i went walking today for an hour. i was thinking of a brisk jog/walk combo but my body let me know that a powerwalk was more up my alley. cool. i'm so sore right now. i think that my fingers are actually the only things tonight that are alright (otherwise this blog would so have to wait). even my brain is sore. hopefully i'll be getting some results soon to keep me going because i know that it's a great thing.
woohoo, focus. beauty regimen. emails. inquirers. okay, okay, gotcha. i'm back on point. and this is totally for the ladies and the metrosexuals that totally feel me on this. everybody can't handle it. so . . . for those who can't, i'm sure that i'll be writing another funny short story soon. peace. love ya, babe.
ok so the morning shower (or early afternoon if it's the weekend) is my absolute favorite place to be. and i really love my closet so that statement really means a lot. it's that important. know that the list changes when i'm aiight about something and not totally in love. plus everyone should customize the following for what works for them. that's the benefit of having your signature scent. be your own genre.
my current (but alternating) daily glam squad consists of:
neutrogena deep clean face wash
neutrogena rainbath (aquamarine, delish!)
aveda soothing aqua therapy
skintimate skintherapy moisturizing shave gel -or-
keihl's simply mahvelous legs shave cream & the aftershave (if i'm buying close to payday)
my pet, quattro (love that razor)
dove cream oil body wash (pouf daddy, the biggest yum!!) johnson's original baby powder
jergens original scent lotion (the almond & cherry one, loves it)
beauticontrol brown sugar lotion (either that or michael kors)
palmer's coconut oil
vaseline (mixed with nivea creme)
kiehl's cucumber herbal alcohol free toner
pond's dry skin cream (this one is subject to change . . . i'm always hunting for a fab moisturizer)
not bad. just go with neutrogena, keihl's or anything that has glow on the bottle and we should be good.

I'm just thinking, man she must really be slippery when she's done with all that.
Had no idea you did all this, but you do have beautiful skin! I am so proud of you for going on a one hour walk - keep walking!!!

Oh my gosh-how the hell do u have time for all that?!
Ahhhh, Mercy! Loved your church story. That is so inspirational. And you always glow. Do you use all of this everyday (beauty regimen)? I, too, love buying beauty stuff and looking for words like "glow". I like nice soaps. One more question: Do you shave your legs everyday? Tell me more about that razer/razor. I bought an expensive one but prob only used it once. I'll see what the name is and let you know. Lately, I've just been using the cheap razers/razors that come ten in a pack for a dollar. Use and throw away. I got a pretty pedicure today and have to shave before I wear a skirt to work. I have this cream for my legs. Girl, and walmart doesn't sell it anymore. Its by simply basic and its a shea butter. They make something similar but not the same so I'm trying to savor what i have left as long as i can. It makes my legs shine perfectly and glow glow glow. Sometimes I'll add some Mac liquid bronzer....and that will get the attention I sometimes like. :-)
