Does your face need a pick-me-up? READ ON

     Do you feel like this when you look at your skin in the mirror? (Heads up never use the magnifying side..it's a self esteem killer) if so, then read on.

     

LOL (best meme ever)

     As someone with serious skin issues, who goes from total patchy Senhorreic Dermatitis, to clear/ some acne/ greasy skin... It's hard to take care of my skin because I don't know how my skin will look when I wake up in the morning. I figured out my favorite group of fave masks. 

     I have always found face masks to be something relaxing, it means your taking time to yourself, and pampering and that is ALWAYS GOOD. I am going to make this post short and sweet. After a LONG day with makeup on and sweat and grossness (lol) I love to wear a mask after removing my makeup. So I immediately go for GLAMGLOW. 

GLAMGLOW is my favorite group of masks. I absolutely love them. There are many different masks to choose from based on what you need, but I choose from these three: 

This is the "YouthMud". It's a great treatment mask for firming, brightening, and getting rid of that excess moisture. It's PERFECT for combination skin. When  applied you wait 10 minutes or until

It's dry. It will get semi hard and flakey. And you wash it off to find it will start to exfoliate. It does feel tingly and burny BUT it will not burn your skin. I have severely sensitive skin and nothing happened to me but brighter more radient skin! Also. It WILL SERIOUSLY MAKE YOUR SKIN LOOK YOUNGER. Who wouldn't want this? Here is the link on Amazon. I find buying it on Amazon is much cheaper.

 This mask is PERFECT for combination skin as well. And more perfect for dry skin. When my skin was so dry that even aquaphor didn't work, I would slather this on, leave it for 20 minutes and my skin would DRINK it all in. If you have RAW skin it will burn like any mask. BUT will not hurt you. It's cooling, and seriously moisturizing. I also will put it on at night because you can use this as an overnight treatment as a thin layer. Once it's been on to wear my skin has already soaked it up I just rinse my skin and PAT DRY. NEVER WIPE YOUR FACE. (Ruins the tightness and can cause tears and wrinkles. Now you can do both of these masks together. I wouldn't if you have sensitive skin (I still do) But doing them together will give you a nice pampered night in for your face.

The third treatment I love is for when your having a severe breakout or your face is oily/ acne prone. Made with glycolic acid, lactic acid, and salicylic acid. You will find that the glycolic acid will restore damaged skin from scars, the salicylic acid minimizes pores which won't allow excess oil and dead skin to enter the pore. That is what creates acne in the first place. And the Lactic acid will tighten the collegen, help with uneven skin tone or the pigmentation, and seriously moisturize. This mask should be done before any follow up treatments. Also this mask should be done BEFORE the thirsty mud mask. Treat the acne THEN hydrate after.

Now, I am not a doctor I can only speak from experience. But always test these products on a small area before ANYTHING because you never know what your allergic to until your allergic to it. But if I didn't haven't a reaction then your probably won't lol. I love all of them. I will use the clearing treatment as a spot treatment before bed, And I will use the thirsty mud in the most dry places of my face as a spot treatment before bed. My favorite is using the YouthMud before a party, night out, or event. It tightens wrinkles and I mean you will seriously be able to SEE the difference. It's amazing. And it also will even out your skin tone making your makeup products go on smoother. It's all worth the money. 

     There are tons of other products that GlamGlow makes, so either check out their website, look up reviews on YouTube, or go right to Amazon and just trial and error! :) I hope you enjoyed this blog post!

Fathers Day 2016: Why my dad is my hero.

Today is Father's Day. The day we celebrate fathers everywhere. Good ones. Weird ones. Even the bad ones that get thanks for their donation 😉. BUT...today I want to talk about my dad. His name is Anthony. He's most definitely your above average dad. Watches out for his family, does his nine to five, and does yard work and hard. If you walked passed him on the street you would think nothing of this man. If you are reading this blog post about him then you know my daddy, Anthony, is a stunning man. Tony Gatz, today is your day. I'm not one to brag...BUT I have never been more proud of my dad then I am at this point in my life. I'll probably say that a million times more after this. But first, seriously, how handsome is he! Round of applause! 

     

        👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

He may be a lot of things to a lot of people but first and foremost he is my dad. But many of you can say he is a father figure to a lot of you as well. With everything he has done, I think all of us can make a list of his accomplishments. And since it IS Father's Day, what kind of proud daughter would I be I didn't at least brag a little. ☺️😜. 

There is so much you don't know about this guy I call daddy. So let's start from the beginning...of the day! He wakes up at 3:22 AM to go to work. He's out of the house before its 3:30 AM and usually looks like this on the train. 

He goes to work everyday to support his entire family and then some. This is the face of a hard working man. A generous man. A man of God. And a father. He sits on this train for almost 2 hours and comes home after being on his feet all day about 12 hours later. If that's not hard work I don't know what is. There are definitely some perks of his job. For example, when you are on break and you walk into Regis!

Or into some strange barnyard animals?

                         (Sheep?)

                        A camel.

                          A goat.

   

    And even the possessed prank baby!

Aside from his job and many fun pictures he really is a hard working man. But even the hardest working man needs to relax. And I know personally watching someone who could never relax, FINALLY find peace in music and in God, is a beautiful thing. One of his passions he gets absolutely lost in is guitar. 

     If it's playing on a balcony in Jersey.

                        (Shirtless)

          Playing on a bench in Carolina,

                        (Shirtless)

Or literally being the best Naked Cowboy New York has ever seen.

                        (No words)

He is a man who can play guitar beautifully, and has a very beautiful singing voice. And I'm grateful he found peace and found a way to get lost in song. Not many people believe it's possible to learn such a skill when you get older (no offense) but you really can! You are never to old to learn something new!

My daddy, Anthony, is also known better as Tony Gatz, and working and guitar playing is nothing at all compared to why he does for his community. He's also passionate about helping people and life. Tony Gatz is a man who will go above and beyond to help anyone in need. He helps without judgement, he helps without question, and he helps without expecting anything in return. He is the definition of generous. In his quest to learn to love himself, he's learned that loving others and helping others is the goal of his life. He speaks to hundreds of people at a time,

Thousands of people at a time,

Or just loves those heart to hearts with those little special someone's.

     (These are just ridiculously cute. 🤗)

He has helped save lives by speaking to schools about addiction prevention, going on the road in the GatzMobile to personally spread awareness about drugs and alcohol to parents and children alike, and single handedly (with help of course) opening up our counties first opiate addiction recovery meetings. He is literally on a mission to save lives everyday. So from that 3:30 photo to when he finally gets to rest, my dad is helping people nonstop. It's this part of his life that astounds me the most. The sheer power of will, and the will of God that flows through him allows him to preach his own story, the stories he sees, and all while doing this saving lives and supporting his family in the process. I am just so very proud to be the daughter of Anthony Eack. But I'm still not done. 

     My dad is the best husband he can be to my beautiful mother Linda. They fell in love as teenagers, got married at 20 and 21, and are still married today. A relationship that continuously grows each day and learns each day as it should be. My father still looks at her with that glow in his eyes as if he first met her. They laugh and cry. But always come out on top. And they never cease to smile when their next to each other. And that's the truth. Just look at them. ❤️

They are just absolutely beautiful. I have amazing parents. 

Aside from playing guitar my dad is also a tattooist. This is a recent thing but he's always been very good at art. So when he took a swing at it we all knew he was epic at it. A total natural! Check it out!

Really good right? 👏🏻👏🏻👍🏼👍🏼😎🤘🏼🤘🏼

And finally, the entire reason for today's blog post. The person you all see as Anthony, Tone, Tony, Ant, or Tony Gatz...is the same person I will only call Daddy. He is my knight in shining aquaphor and armor, he has always come my rescue, he always there to talk to me, he has never yelled at me or been angry with me. He is the dad of all dads. He's been a dad to more than just me and my brother. And a lot of you reading this today can vouch for the. He is a lover of his family, friends, and has a loving heart like no other. What he has done with his life can't compare to the love he gives our family each and everyday by not only showing it, but by doing what he does on a daily basis. I'm not only proud to be his daughter, I'm honored that I get to say "yea that's my dad." And there no other father in the world that could ever replace him. He's an amazing person. 

He deserves a lot of this, all the time. 

But he will continue to do what his heart tells him to do. Love his family, love his friends, love the loveless. Help every soul in need he can. And be the absolute best father a girl could ask for. To today, Daddy, happy Father's Day. You deserve every award possible. I love you!

Forever, Lizzy Tish. 🤘🏼💚
