Update on Avon's ANEW Cleansing Micellar Water

June 25, 2019 Update:
Almost three years ago, Avon introduced Cleansing Micellar Water as part of the ANEW CLEAN line. A few months ago, this wonder-cleanser was rebranded as part of the new HydraFusion line. Still the same great product at an affordable price point. In case you missed it, here's what I had to say about Micellar Water when Avon first introduced the ANEW CLEAN line of cleansers:

I was curious about the Micellar Cleansing Water. I had never heard of micellar water before. What is this liquid that cleanses, moisturizes and tones all at the same time?

After a little investigation, here's what I found: Micellar water is a suspension of tiny cleansing molecules (micelles) in soft water. It was invented as a facial cleanser and makeup remover many years ago in France, when fresh water was scarce. It works best when applied to a cotton pad, and is gentle enough for sensitive skin. It removes mascara without irritating the eye area.

Over the past few years, micellar water has become popular in many other countries, and is now sold in the USA. True to the brand, Avon's version of micellar water is of high quality at an affordable price point.

Here's the official description from the Avon website:

This micellar cleansing water cleanses skin of dirt, oil and impurities, helps reinforce skin’s protective moisture barrier to keep skin feeling resilient, and preps skin to receive the optimal results for Anew moisturizers and treatments. Formulated with Isotonic Water Complex, it works to attract and maintain moisture so skin feels softer and more revitalized. 5 fl. oz.

Mother’s Day Mindfulness

During the past week, I’ve spent a lot of time thinking about Mother’s Day. Looking back on my own changing perspectives on Mother’s Day and paying attention to the significance of the day for many others in my life, past and present.

A few years ago, I was working as a therapist on Mother’s Day in an acute psychiatric hospital. Charged with the responsibility of planning the group leisure activity for the day, I researched some trivia about the holiday and thought about the needs of my patients. I gained several new perspectives.

Simply put, “it sucks to be in a hospital on any holiday”.
Being confined to a locked unit on Mother’s Day, dealing with mental health issues takes “it sucks” to a new level.
The history of Mother’s Day in this country is not completely happy.
The “commercialization” of Mother’s Day triggers varied emotions, and for many people it is not a happy day at all.
Other cultural groups celebrate Mother’s Day in different ways on different days.
Everyone on this planet falls into at least one of the following categories:

A. Mothers

B. People who have mothers

C. People who have lost mothers

D. People who have “mother issues”

Chocolate makes almost everything a little better.

Today, I am grateful that I still have a living mother, that I am a mother, a stepmother, and a grandmother. As I slowly savor my chocolate, I’m mindful that this can be a difficult day for those who have lost their mothers, as well as for those who have dysfunctional relationships with their mothers.

If you’re fortunate enough to be having a Happy Mother’s Day,
I wish you a “Mindful Mother’s Day”.
If you’re having a tough time today, I wish you peace of mind...and chocolate.
