The Lumie Clear: What IS this?

Well, that's a really great question, and the very same one that I was faced with when looking for a way to put an end to all this acne nonsense on my face.
Light therapy, that brings two thoughts to mind one being 'that sounds a bit hippyish' and the other being 'that sounds a bit 'overly medical'

As far as I understand it is a mains powered, combined light therapy treatment for the skin with the red lights doing one thing (attacking the spots, killing bacteria) and the blue lights doing another (healing the skin) I may have got those in the wrong order...
Combined it creates a violet coloured light that yes IS harmful if you look directly into it, beyond just dazzling my eyes and hurting, it can cause serious long term damage so it is absolutely best that if any light can and is getting into your eyes to use the gorgeous goggles provided (they are horrific).

So, this is what you do:

• Press the one and only button on the side of the machine

• When the light illuminates decide if you want to target it at the whole face, or pick it up out of the stand and hold it against a particularly troublesome area (I prefer the second option)

• Wait for the light to automatically switch off after 15 minutes

• Repeat daily

I've been using this for a week now, of course video recording my progress to compile into a YouTube video at some point to let you guys know if it is worth it's £100+ price tag *gulp*

I have not noticed any difference at all, but it's not fair to judge this properly without giving it at least 4 weeks to work it's light magic.

The therapy of cleaning

A little while back I visited my sisters for her birthday!
It was fun, but she's pretty busy (and messy) and I caught sight of her office and I got a little itch to just give it a good tidy. But I didn't have time there and then
So....
I went to stay at my sisters again over Easter and this time I had enough time to clean it up properly and wanted to give my sister a real 'before and after'

I give you the before...

And after! ...

It was the best to have my sister be so shocked by the results, it didn't even take that long- maybe 35-40 mins and my 'itch' to neaten it up had finally been scratched.
It kind of makes me want to clean for a living! Or maybe a hobby... haha
