#WipeForWater with Neutrogena

Living in the Central Valley, in the middle of drought-stricken California, I think about water almost every day. What if there will be no water for farmers? What if there will be no water for us? My town already implemented a strict watering schedule and it seems like there will be a strict showering schedule as well. Oh boy.

Enter Neutrogena Naturals Purifying Makeup Remover Cleansing Towels. I usually wash my face at night with a cleanser and if I'm lazy, I simply use wipes. But those that I'm using right now leave my face feeling yucky and I always have to rinse my face afterwards. So much for being lazy. And wasting water, of course. 

I decided to participate in the #WipeForWater challenge and pledged not to use water after wiping with Neutrogena Naturals Purifying Makeup Remover Cleansing Towels for three days to make a difference. I figured if they already used a substantial amount of water to make these wipes, the least I can do is not to use MORE water. 

I was pleasantly surprised that it got all the makeup out and it smelled heavenly. My face felt fresh and clean. I didn't feel the need to wash my face with water as I usually do when I wipe with a different product. The Neutrogena Naturals Purifying Makeup Remover Cleansing Towels are definitely my favorite makeup remover product right now and I am continue using them without washing my face every night. 

Thank you @Neutrogena and @Influenster for letting me participate in the #WipeForWater #contest. I received the complimentary pack of wipes to test and review.

It's wedding time!

On Sunday we went to a wedding of our friends Megan and Darryl. It was at San Ramon Country Club and the day could not be more perfect. The ceremony started shortly after 4 and the light was simply gorgeous! A winter sun was ready to set down and the whole wedding party was basking in its golden glory. 

I wore a dress I originally bought for my University graduation. It comes from a small European chain called Terranova - I don't think anyone ever heard about them past Central Europe. My shoes are a whole different story. I had them for more than a year and this was the first time I wore them! I must admit, I was excited to add a pair of real Christian Louboutins into my closet, even though the story how I got them is a little... interesting. I helped someone, a neighbor, with something seemingly big for her. It was not a big deal to me, but she decided to thank me by giving me her pair of shoes. We were wearing the same size (what a coincidence!) and she basically dropped them in my lap and said: Here you go. You said you like them and I want you to have them. Ummm, thanks? I took them, who wouldn't, and it was a while before I dared to wear them. (If you are reading this, thanks again!)

Congratulations Megan and Darryl again, I am super happy we could be a part of your big day!
