Michael and the Olive Oil Experiment

Tuesday we did Michael. That includes:
3 rounds
800m run
50 back extensions
50 situps

When we did this in April, my time was 27:16...Tuesday was 31:48. I haven't been running at all in the past couple of months, so that was my biggest downfall. But, I did finally find my inhaler for the 3rd round and I ran pretty much the entire way. I need to run more and stop skipping out on it just because I hate it. :(

So, one of my fave blogs, the Budget Fashionista, also has another blog called the Budget Ecoist. Yesterday, they talked about using olive oil to wash your face with. If you are oily and acne-prone, use castor oil. So, I am going to try this. If it works out well, that's a heck of a lot cheaper than all the money I spend on Philosophy! I used it last night and this morning...so far, so good. My face doesn't feel greasy at all, but I didn't have to use any moisturizer either! And my skin feels very soft today. They said that Mediterranean women use this technique all the time...and they are famous for having gorgeous complexions! Hopefully this doesn't cause me to break out. It would be so budget-friendly if it works! Keeping my fingers crossed...
