would you rather

Many of you know that one of my favorite games to play is the "Would you rather?" game. I love thinking up fun questions and posing them to people. I think they are great to get some fun conversations going. Some of my favorite ones are:

-Would you rather give up all sweets, or have to eat a whole tomato at EVERY single meal, EVERY single day? (imagine sitting down to your favorite meal...got the picture?...now picture having to chow down at a huge tomato before starting)

-Would you rather have chronic B.O. or chronic bad breath?

-Would you rather give up bread or chocolate?

See? Aren't they fun!? My eye doctor gave me a great one yesterday (although I'm sure he didn't realize he was). In his own way he asked me, "Kelly, would you rather continue getting styes or start taking off your eye make up at night?" You might be confused. I mean, who doesn't take off their eye make up at night? That's gross, you think. Maybe it is, but I have been guilty of it since I first starting wearing make up. Want to be even more grossed out? I never wash my face. I've been really lucky in that I have never had skin problems. It might have been a bad thing, because I have used it as an excuse to take poor care of my skin. Well, no longer. Two styes in 3 months has changed my outlook on skin care completely. I now have skin cleanser and will purchase some eye wash and am determined to use them regularly!! Styes vs. a few minutes each night of cleansing? Where is the Clean and Clear???

Your skin looks terrific for the poor care you've given it. You'd never know. As you age, you need to take better care of your skin and body. Make sure you use a moisturizer and sunscreen on your face as well. You are such an amazingly disciplined person, this routine should come easy for you. Hang in there!

I'm "blogging" this morning while on vacation-- and had to "visit" your family via your pictures. What a great family- Cam is darling! Loved your "would you rather" question. I'm going to use it for my staff back-to-school ice breaker. Could be great fun! When we visited Israel many years ago, we were served tomatoes with every meal! That appears to be an Israelie custom for eating. Wonder what they would answer to your question!

I asked hubby your questions (i love would you rather and pose them frequently) and he says, "why do you and Kelly and Susan love to torture each other with these horrible dilemmas? Don't you have anything else to do?" to which I replied, "Would you rather talk about Oprah?"

Well, the not-taking-off-eye-makeup-at-night-thing, I'm afraid may be genetic. I don't either (blush, blush). But I DO clean my face daily! You're right--it's a small price to pay to prevent those painful styes, though.

I hate waking up in the morning if I don't take off my eye make-up...It will become a habit and After awhile u won't be able to go to sleep without taking it off.
I'm sure you are happy to have a reason for your problem. I think you should post a picture ; )

I don't wash my face either... Sometimes I break down and use face wipes. Maybe that's a good first step! : ) Styes are no fun. Try Loreal eye makeup remover. It's a good one!

Hi Kelly,
I've never responded to your blog before- you might not remember me, I'm a friend of Susan's from Biola and we taught at Fairgrove together, and my husband Chad played baseball with Chris at Biola...anyway I love to read Susan's blog and sometimes read her favorite blogger friends. Today I read yours. I wanted to tell you that I just started a new skin care buisness called Arbonne International and I LOVE it. I think you would be AMAZED to try it and see if it might help your eye problems. They are an ALL-natural botanically based skin care company that focuses not just on skin care but on health and wellness. Their motto is pure, safe, and benefitial. I'd LOVE to tell you more about it and give you a sample to try out. I love the health benefits and I think that you would too.
Blessings,
