Out Shooting

I have way been slacking on writing on here. And today I have been trying to get caught up on different things, which one of them way cleaning off my SD card of my camera, when I remembered that a few weeks ago, we had gone out past Saratoga Springs, Utah, with some friends to go shooting.

It was actually really a lot of fun. I had forgotten how much fun I liked going out and target shooting. Even though I am not at all the best shot. When I turned 21, my boyfriend at the time gave me a gun. In his family, it was a family tradition that you received a gun as a present when you turned 21. He gave me a little Walther P22. I love it because he got a special hand grip so it isn't so hard for my little hands to grip it.

Sam was ecstatic to go out and shoot. He has been in awe of gun for quite some time now. He is a typical 6 year old boy. He loves Whips, Guns, Bugs, etc ...

We did take some time and went through ALL of the rules when handling real guns. He got it and realized that if he didn't follow the rules that we wouldn't allow him to shoot. Here is just a quick video of him shooting. I didn't take too much because he really liked my gun (not as much kick back), so I ended up helping him for quite a bit shoot my little gun.

It was a really great day out shooting. I wouldn't mind going out again. One thing nice about being out in Heber is that we can just walk up the hill behind our house and there is a little shooting range. We just get busy with other things going on and don't make the time to go target practicing.

New Facial Wash

I've been meaning to blog for sometime now. But I have felt like I have been running around the Wasatch Front & Back for the last 3 weeks, like a chicken with it's head cut off ... So I finally took a few moments to blog.

A ton of things have been happening the last 3 weeks since I was laid off from Mountain Reservations. But this post is not going to touch any of it at all ... This will be a fun girly post.

One nice thing about going down to Cruise and Travel Masters is that I get to see and talk to all my up to date friends more about new "products" that are out. One of my girlfriends, Debbie, is very into Herbal Remedies ... but not is a freaky hippie way. She was telling me that she started washing her face with Baking Soda & Apple Cider Vinegar. And that she had been having really great results with it. Then she said that she wanted me to try it for a few weeks and see if it solved any of my facial problems, because everyone knows I have horrible skin.

I looked at her like she was crazy and think I told her she was crazy (in a loving way) and then began to think about it ... what could it hurt? I have already tried EVERYTHING else out there for something that would clear up my skin.

So I went out and bought some Apple Cider Vinegar (the Organic non filtered kind ... specifically) and started washing my face with Baking Soda & Apple Cider Vinegar.

I am still using my face wash to get my make up off my face. Then, I put about a tablespoon of dry baking soda in my hand and add a little bit of water to it so it makes a paste. Then smear that all over my face and rince it off. Once that drys more, I then put a few drops of Apple Cider Vinegar on a cotton pad and run it over my face. After that has dried, I then put some lotion over it.

And amazingly enough, my face looks pretty good. It hasn't cleared up completely, but I'd chalk that up to being hormonal because of that time of the month and under major stress caused by jobs.

Maybe we'll see in a few weeks when the hormones have subsided how it is working.
