Day 17 check in

 Reporting in on the journey with the Isagenix Collagen Elixir at 17 days!

I’m 17 days into this Collagen Elixir trial, recovering from not much sleep, and hating that I didn’t smile at least a little bit in my first picture! I don’t like documenting my non-smiling self.  Smiles bring joy!

So Day 000 with no collagen elixir in my system. 

Zip, zero, nada.


And today. 


I know the backgrounds are different. I’m traveling. There’s not a lot I can do about that. I’m sorry. 

I still have dark bags, but I think the puffiness under my eye is lessening. The skin is soft and doesn’t feel dry anymore. That’s a BIG deal. The dark? Umm, heredity so a bit harder to eliminate. I’m not saying impossible, just to be clear!

The lines around my mouth are a little less chiseled. I’ll take it!

I much prefer smiling pictures. 

Much more personality!

I remember watching my dad and his smile lines and realizing that if I was going to have lines, I wanted more smiling lines than frown lines.

When we needed to wear masks, I was very happy that my eyes showed smiles.

Big blessing.

I also think every time I take a picture I’ll make sure I choose better colors, and boy am I seeing the difference! The blue sweatshirt in the first picture has great memories because I bought it in Boston, and I chose the one I liked the best, but it’s definitely a stay-at-home and be lazy shirt for me for now on!

That said, I value bringing back more elasticity into my skin. Fewer wrinkles.

I’ll take it.

So takeaways: 
1) I think I’m seeing improvement. 
2) Smile!
3) Wear colors that really enhance you.
4) Collagen Elixir 

Oh, yeah, I mentioned the softer skin. That’s all over, including my heels, because you don’t just put the elixir on the target areas. It’s a wonderful apple tasting drink that I enjoy!

Day 1 and 2 collagen elixir

 I received my Collagen Elixir yesterday and immediately drank my first bottle.


Tasty!

Here's Day 1 picture:


This morning, I drank a bottle as soon as I got up because it's just the right amount of sweet.  Not too much and not too little!

Day 2:


It's windy outside, and I took my puppy for a walk.  He's sacked out now.  Learning to walk with me instead of racing after leaves scuttling across the sidewalk taxed him (and me) pretty hard!  

Puppy:


He's 16 weeks old.  We've had him for 7 weeks now.

He and my son Steven have good times playing!
