Photofacial, Repeats, and Shedding

Today I got a photofacial! My first. I was so nervous!! Would my face stay red for weeks after? Will I be one of the unlucky few that have a bad reaction? Would I look like leatherface at my wedding? Will it hurt? Well.......it was great!!! It didn't hurt at all! I'm not red at all! My skin is dry but that's to be expected. Why did I have it done? Well I have broken capillaries on my cheeks so I look like i'm blushing all the time. I go to great pains to cover them with makeup lol so the photofacial is the only laser treatment that fixes broken capillaries, and since it was on sale and I really wanted it done, why not! It also corrects sun damage and fine lines. So over the next 2 weeks I will slough off my old skin and my new skin will shine through! I should put here that it takes more than one treatment, up to 6, but I will keep getting them as long as they are on sale hehe. Maybe I did hope I would look in the mirror and find that my skin had miraculously morphed into Nicole Kidman's porcelein complexion after only one treatment :)

Last night I was reading my old posts. Usually when I post I don't read through them again, I just type my thoughts and post it. But I was so embarrassed to see how often I repeat myself!! Sorry y'all! You can def see what's always on my mind, that's for sure! But I will try to get better about not always repeating things I've said before.

Dakota is shedding. Badly! I'm positive it feels sooooooooooooo much better to him to get rid of his winter coat but heaven alive! there's hair everywhere, no matter how much I brush him. No exaggeration, I nearly fill up a walmart shopping sack each time I brush him (every few days). and my poor vacuum lol but he's worth it. He's my 3rd husky so this is not my first rodeo, but it does always amaze me how much fur comes out when they blow their coat. I really hate when people shave them in the summer, the fur that is left after they are finished shedding actually serves to keep them cooler and protect their skin from the sun. I will try to remember to take a picture the next time I brush him to post. If I collected all the fur he shed in one year I think it would be enough to knit blankets for all of Alaska!
