Year 3 Day 88 – “Living the Dream”. Saturday, 7/29/2023. On the road again heading to the third annual Ortega Family Reunion. It is very exciting to see family. There will be a group of 22 of us this year. It is hard to get everyone to attend. Maybe next year. My father was an Ortega. So, this reunion is from him down. If everyone still alive came to the reunion one year, there would be 31 of us. He was born in Spain, moved to France when he was 18, and came to the United States when he was 20. He did not come through Ellis Island. I am super excited to see everyone. Like usual when traveling to PA we are driving to Clarksburg, WV and spending the night. And of course, drinking Tim Hortons coffee Yum!

Here’s the thoughts I have been pondering on our drive.


Today’s product recommendations are for keeping your skin looking its best at sea and in the sun. My favorite skin care products are made by Elemis. Although I do sometimes try a new product here and there. I actually find myself going back to Elemis. 1) I start my morning in the shower with a face wash. Currently I am using ELEMIS Dynamic Resurfacing Facial Wash https://amzn.to/3qZkwqC 2) After showering I am currently using ELEMIS Superfood Facial Oil https://amzn.to/3XvfUVu 3) Then the Elemis Pro-Collagen Maine Cream with spf30 gets applied. It is the best. It costs a little more than the drug store creams but wow it works. Whenever I decide I want to buy another less expensive brand I am sorry and head right back to this cream. https://amzn.to/46sJZsH 4) Steve also uses an Elemis product. He tends to break out when he uses sunscreen often. He finds the ELEMIS Dynamic Resurfacing Facial Pads excellent to use. It cleans that sunscreen out of his pores. When he uses these pads to cleanse his face he does not break out. https://amzn.to/3px1oQn
