New Acne Regimen

For the longest I've struggled with breakouts from acne, and for the past year they have gotten worse. I've tried everything from proactive to over the counter products, and nothing seemed to work. A friend of mine recommended Witch Hazel astrigent which is derived from a plant and said that it really worked for her breakouts.


Above is the one she uses, but I for some reason couldn't find that brand.  It's sold online for around $4.  I'm actually using an astringent from Clinique that uses witch hazel as it's main ingredient and it has been working wonders.

I no longer get large breakouts, and my skin is extremely soft.  Normally, during ovulation, I break out to the point where my face hurts, but since using this astringent, I didn't break out once.  I'm not using any chemicals...just wash your face with your choice of cleanser, and follow with astringent then moisturizer.

I hope this helps someone...I see the constant advertisements for different acne regimens, all of which are extremely expensive, and for me never worked.  Witch hazel is completely natural, inexpensive, and actually gets the job done.  Thanks to S.R. for the recommendation.

Crush...

I feel like a little kid, LOL...but I have the hugest crush on this guy I work with. He's tall, bald, dark chocolate, can sing, play the piano...he's just scrumptious. When I first started working for AT&T a year ago, he was one of my trainers, and he was the nicest person ever! A year later, I'm still feeling the same way about him. I've let my emotions get the best of me though, I used to say hi and greet him with a hug and quick conversation. The more my feelings grew for him, the less I communicated with him. In my mind I'm looking thirsty, and giving away the fact that I like him. I pretty much shunned him away, he's noticed too because now I can see his discomfort when he tries to talk to me. I don't know if he knows I like him, or he's being awkward as a result of my awkwardness.

I know you're thinking, why don't I just man up and tell him....I work at a place where if one person knows your business, THE WORLD will know your business. If I tell him, it will be all over the floor, then all over the city. Gossip, gossip. On top of that, it would probably make me feel even more awkward towards him if he expresses opposition towards my feelings. Then I'll straight up feel like a retard, I don't like rejection.

So I'll just keep my feelings to myself and keep swooning over him...in my mind. LOL
