Gestational Diabetes

One of the worst feelings while being pregnant is having something go wrong that is out of your control. After I failed the one hour glucose exam, and then having to do the three hour glucose exam (which was awful by the way), and failing it as well, I was diagnosed with gestational diabetes. It will most likely go away after the baby is born. It is just depressing, having to poke your finger 4 times a day (which makes me feel really light headed) and then having to hope your numbers are good after eating the correct number of carbs. Even when I eat the correct foods sometimes I still have a high blood sugar reading, it just makes me so stressed out and feeling blue. I don't know how other women deal with this but it has just been something that has been making me feel really sad for the last week. Having to think about what to eat is stressful when some things just don't sound appetizing anyways.

Supergoop CC Cream

I recently received my December Birchbox, and in it was a cc cream by the brand Supergoop. I think that I've previously tried possibly a sunscreen from this brand, nothing overly exciting as sunscreen either protects you or doesn't. I am pretty picky about face makeup, sometimes BB creams especially American BB creams or the ones from the drugstore, are just tinted moisturizers re packaged. I've had another cc cream from Birchbox the juice beauty one and was not impressed the coverage was horrible and it was not worthwhile trying to put it on my face. So when I received this months Birchbox I wasn't overly excited to see the cc cream in it, also it was a tiny sample size. I was pleasantly surprised, I used the cc cream and it had great coverage! It didn't take hardly any to blend on the the face and it covered redness really well basically just as well as a foundation, it didn't feel heavy or greasy and didn't have any type of unpleasant smell. I only had to use a small amount so I will probably get 3 or 4 uses out of the tiny sample bottle that I have. I really liked this cc cream, I haven't liked a product like this since the Dr Jart Waterfuse BB Cream that I first tried about 3 years ago, this cc cream had almost better coverage than that and I just used my fingers to apply. The only thing I will say is that it comes in only light-medium, and medium dark. The light-medium may be just a tad to medium for me but I can make it work. I will definitely be getting the full sized product!
