The current state of my forehead makes me want to commit the unpardonable sin of skin. Oh yes, dear friends...I am talking about the death bed. I want to bake and fry and dry out every pore to rid myself of this unfairly aggressive attack of adult acne. My face seems covered with those awful painful bumps, and consequently it is covered with medication and concealer. Even Pretty Girl said, "Mommy, boo boo."
I feel like some awkward adolescent minus the backpack and school ID. I could probably pull off the charade if I was able to text faster. This whole acne flare-up has me constantly saying, "what the (insert your favorite curse word here)?". Oh, well. And get this...the other day I was at work and discovered that my pants weren't zipped up. Thank goodness I am an adult and I do not eat in a cafeteria.
Never fear, y'all...my death bed days are long behind me. My new standard of beauty (vampire) combined with my burning desire to avoid skin cancer scare me into constant shade and SPF.
Did you know that I am also loser-ish because it is broadcasted on Facebook that I do not have a life? Mmmm-hmmm. Yep. I am so serious. Well, alright I am being a little bit melodramatic (which would totally shock those who know me IRL). Mysteriously my new blog posts show up on my Facebook page hours (HOURS) after I have actually posted them on my blog. So, of course, it appears that I am always posting at ridiculous hours when I should be working or sleeping or getting ready to work or sleep. Nice. As if I am not doing a good enough job looking like a loser on my own with my acne and my unzipped pants, Facebook has to finish the job. Seriously. There are worse things in the world to complain about, but tonight this is what I select.
*hey y'all...remember that song from Beck? it is 15 years old!!! WHAT THE (insert your second favorite curse word here)?*

LOL...funny stuff...we use proactive and it does wonders around here for our skin...
did ya know that you can pull your own feed on FB? right after you post here just go to your blogs page on FB and 'pull feed'
I know this info b/c i once had that same lable lol
Funny! Well, not really, but I sympathize because "vampire" is also my standard of beauty! But looking at all of the hot vampires out there now - I think I'll take it (actually, can I just have Edward Cullen - then I'd be happy)!
Hope that your skin gets better soon! I know there are worse things, but something like that can really ruin your week!
LOL I heaer ya! I had a big break out a couple of weeks ago for no reason at all! It was 20 years post adolescence!
Hope your face clears up soon!
I feel your pain, Lipstick. This week, for the first time in at least a year, I have a pimple near my mouth. I could use brown eyeliner and pretend it's a mole, a la Cindy Crawford. But then I'd be even more of a loser. Couple the pimple with the fact that I'm losing hair at an alarming rate (alarming except it's just that lovely post-pregnancy hormone shift), and I'm a veritable mess.
But I'm soooooo with you on the vampire madness. You know that, right? I've already set my dvr to record Sunday night's VMAs so I can see the new New Moon trailer. Pa. Thet. Ic.
Just a thought. Could be rosacea. Much more common in grown ups. Doctors have medicine that makes it go away.
I second Proactive and it smells really nice too.
I have two words for you: glycollic peel. Call your dermaologist and see if they do facials. My insurance actually covers a glycollic every 8 weeks and they have changed my life!
I hope this helps!
Hehe. You're too cute. Xoxo-BLC
I found that pants were unzipped the other day too...very embarrassing! At least I'm not slipping on french fries on the floor in the cafeteria anymore!
Love you!
Thank y'all for your ideas...right now I'm hoping my cocktail of 10% benzoyl peroxide wash, salicylic acid, and tazorac works (and doesn't make my face fall off).
@Tippy...love LOVE love that you are recording the VMAs for the New Moon trailer. You know I will have to see it as soon as it comes out. I will prob be the oldest person there.
i got horrid acne in my late 20's, sucked. Prescription washes and meds help, but also egg yolk masks! dries it up pronto and makes your skin so soft.
