Absolutely LOVE this song. Dance music has always been my fav, however, I'm slowly but surely falling in Love with Alternative/Indie Rock.
I first heard this song on Kyle XY, Season 3.
Enjoy.

Microdermabrasion
I can FINALLY take this off of the "list".
I've had microdermabrasion before, which was several years ago. My skin tends to get rough feeling in the wintertime. In checking for microdermabrasion prices locally, I found they are $150 per session, or $500.00 for 6 sessions. The first 5 or are required weekly for best results. That's way over my budget and very costly. So I was considering a home version such as Personal MicroDerm by SkinRx . But when I was looking on eBay and Amazon, I noticed the professional version was not much more than a home unit.
Well guess which one I opted for? Considering the prices of the PRO versions, and the cost to have it done locally, would mean in TWO sessions, my own machine would have already paid for itself. So I opted for the Professional Diamond Microdermabrasion Machine HB-SF02 model by Kendal.
I'm one that likes to do things ON MY OWN as opposed to depending on anyone else. Chalk that up to ONE MORE THING that I won't have to pay anyone else for.
I've done ONE session on my face, neck, chest, and lower arms already. They are smooth as silk now, which I was beginning to think was never possible. It's probably going to take 4 or more sessions to see a visible difference. Once a week is all that is needed for maintenance. I can buy replacement parts, filters, etc... when needed.
However, keep in mind the nutrition such as colloidal minerals by Youngevity (specifically copper), G5 Organic Silica by Silicium Labs, Amino Acids and/or MAP (Master Amino Acid Pattern). Not to mention regular cleanses and drinking plenty of good water. Remember, you have to build from the inside out for best results. After finishing up with the session, I then applied generously on my face the G5 Organic Silica Gel. Most aestheticians will advise usage of topical skin care products to increase cellular turnover, to stimulate the collagen production and improving the elasticity for firmer, smoother skin. Silicium Labs also have specific products just for that, which have the organic Silica in them. Silicium Labs Silica Skin Serum Duo. I can't always afford all of these things at one time, but I usually have the minerals and silica, regardless.
A very important thing to keep in mind is STAY AWAY from ALL pHARMaceuticals. That includes ALL vaccines (flu shots, DT (tetanus) shots), and ALL prescription drugs. They are designed to KILL YOU and AGE YOU as well. ALL of them. WARNING! I have to keep screaming this and preaching to the choir as well, because even the choir folks aren't listening and heeding the warnings either. I'm very sorry to keep ranting about this, but it breaks my heart to find out that people are still doing these things KNOWING damn well, the consequences.
Back to the microdermabrasion machine.... Eventually, I would like to get the training and certification, since I got a professional model. Perhaps with these people: National Coalition of Estheticians, Manufacturers / Distributors and Associations (NCEA).
With the training, certification and local license, etc... I'll be able to offer this to other people, if I like, and make a little extra money. Sounds like a WIN WIN to me.

This diamond microdermabrasion machine does the job! I was skeptical at first because it is not the same microdermabrasion machine used in any clinic, but after just a few treatments, my wife and I both saw the results. We both have minor acne scars and dark spots on our faces and we can see that they are beginning to fade and our facial skin is generally smoother. This is after about 4 treatments - at two week intervals. At this rate we already got our money's worth because we would have paid more at any clinic. We can do it ourselves in the comfort of our home, at our own comfort level (you can't really tell an aesthetician how to do her job), at our own convenience, and we own the machine. I recommend using skin moisturizer with sun block after treatment because the exfoliation leaves the skin dry and "scratched" up. The suction helps lift the dead skin. I'm looking forward to continued improvement in my skin!

After I went for a round of 6 professional microdermabrasion treatments *I had the crystal microdermabrasion used in the spa* I noticed how great my skin was after that so
I did LOTS of research to find a salon quality diamond tipped microdermabrasion machine.
The reason I chose diamond tipped is for many reasons;
1. Cheaper because you do not have to replace crystals like other machines. Also, when I was using the salon my results were inconsistant. About 3 out of 6 provided obvious results. When her chrystal machine was working properly I had great results but when It was not I would leave there with chrystals all cloging my pores. Also I would have the Aluminum oxide crystals in my nose. If I would have been smarter I woulnt have gotton a treatment with chrystals because having them enter your lungs can be dangerous:( Since I loved the good resluts I decided to research how to get a diamond tipped one they give NO debri (all skin sucked up is put threw two filters that should be replaced after each session.
2. The diamond tips can be cleaned with a soft *must be a soft* tooth brush, toothpaste or dawn and hot water *Be sure before putting any of your tips near the sink that you have a plug in the sink. You would not want to loose any of these precious tips. Diamond tips are also far better for your health than the *crystal system* because there is not any debri put into the air and since it is diamond tipped there is nothing to clog pores. From my experience with the chrystals I had inconsistant results becuse the machine has to both blast out chrystals and suck the debri up at the same time. The Professional Diamond Microdermabrasion Machine HB-SF01 by Kendal is the absolute highest product on the market. This product is the type that is used in day spas and dermatologist offices. It comes with 9 different diamond tips.
3. It is very easy to use and easy to clean. To find a good deal on filters contact me and I will help you find the cheapest filters.
Also, I would highly recommend any one who wants greater detail about what I wrote above go to:
[...]
4. I also recommend purchasing a facial steamer like this one

I am pleased with my purchase. First I have to say that the company I purchased it through "The Shining Image" replied to my email questions promptly, and the shipment arrived on time, I also liked the fact that I could go to the ups site and see exactly where my shipment was at any time.
I had a microdermabrasion treatment at a salon for 80.00, they suggested that I should come back weekly for the first 4-6 weeks. I knew that it wasn't going to be possible to afford to come back weekly so I started searching for my own machine. I am happy with this purchase, I received it today and used it for the first time tonight, the instructions were easy to follow and the the amount of suction felt the same as the one at the salon. My face feels smooth and fresh! I am also using the obagi skin care regimen so this will all work nicely together. I am very pleased with this purchase!

I was looking at getting microdermabrasion procedures done on me for some superficial scars, fine lines, pore reductioon and over all texture of my skin. I found that the procedure runs from $80-$$200 a visit. I looked all over and I researched each model that amazon has listed and I read the reviews of this machine and while there are only a few reviews I really felt good about this machine. I am so happy I purchased this one.
1. It is a 9 pound machine, this is a professional machine.
2. It comes with 9 different heads that can be used and the box tells you which head for which area.
3. It comes with a booklet that tells you how much suction to use on each area, as well as how to use it properly.
4. It comes with a whole bunch of filters and if you get it from the Shining company when you run out they said contact them for replacement filters. They are awesome too! great customer service! I asked about filters and they responded on a weekend within 5 minutes.
I have only used it once so far I have had it less then one week, and it has serious suction, I was not sure how it was working, I took before pictures that I will update every 5 weeks until I am at the results I am seeking. In one use there was a difference in my skin texture that I could see when comparing to the pictures and days later my skin is still super soft.
I will update this review with before and after photos when I have them. My first use was on January 23rd 2012.
