I am extremely fortunate that I have never suffered from acne, and neither has anyone in my family. I maybe get 1 pimple a year, BUT I look at my mom and (no offense to her) she looks way older than she is. And I don't want that to happen to me.

Regarding acne though, I do know that women can develop it as they get older, so I fear that could one day be in my future. However, if genes play any role than I should be ok.
Acne is terrible. Lots of people have it worse than me and I feel bad for them.

I have at least 1 to 2 pimples on my face every day of the year. I never get used to it either. You'd think after 15 years I would, but nope.
 
Why are facial products so damn expensive, and why do I need so many of them as I get older?

I am not one to have a "beauty" routine, but I feel like I am definitely starting to look my age so I thought it would be good to start a routine. I talked with my aesthetician and she gave me great pointers and products I can find on the "cheap", apparently cheap in that world is $80 for 1 product and you need 4, used twice daily. Ugh!

Be thankful you all are guys.

I have "products" i need to use or I break out badly. I also have certain foods I know will cause issues if I eat too much of them. Probably not as bad as you, but it gets tiresome.
 
I am not your typical girly girl, I don't know how to put on makeup, I don't know how to do my hair so this is all sooooo overwhelming for me. She told me items I could get at CVS, so I went there and didn't even know what aisle to look in because I have no idea what the products are.

I need how to be a girl 101 class or something.

I would take this over my wifes QVC bill.
 
Just had three sophomores try to explain to me why socialism is "cool" and "clearly the answer".

Awesome.

Here should be your response.
"Open up your wallet. Take that 10 dollar bill out. Now give it to me"
"Wait, you dont want to give it to me? Why, because its yours?"

A generation of handouts does little to help this cause. Many kids won't care because it wasn't their 10 dollars to start with.

Mommy and Daddy will put more in there.

That had to be a fun discussion. You should do what the college professor did with grades. Use the avg score and everyone gets that score, do that a few times and see what happens

It is only getting worse. I had to turn off the local talk radio this morning because they were talking about being fair to all. People were calling in with petty things I am just like come on people life is not easy and your choices NEED to have consequences

Precisely what I'm going to do with this next test. Will get some phone calls, but I'm good with it.

Really? That would be awesome! I have a list of things I was told are good for a daily routine.

Like I mentioned, I don't have any skin problems, in fact I a VERY lucky because I don't break out I don't have any blemishes, but I am getting fine lines and I do have freckles which will darken with age so I want to help with that stuff before it gets bad.

My mom has such saggy skin, and I don't want that to happen to me, so this is all preventative.

I read about this one lady (with a young family apparently) who spent everything she had on lotto tickets, lost (of course), and then started a goFundMe to rebuilld... and in the damn GoFundMe page it openly says the plan is to do it again when there is enough money in there... Are you effing serious??!!??!!?!?

The worst part is that she had raised 800 dollars before it got shut down.

I think you're right. Or the girl who started one to pay for a car because she was going to college. The comments were epic.. Something about how she could go places and spend some time there doing things, and then they would give her money for doing those things hhahahaha

I had it real bad in my teenage years. I took Accutane. I believe that was the pill I was on. Took it for like a year or so and have been breakout free for about 15 years. I get a few here and there but nothing like I had before.

That product has since been pulled from the market.
 
OMG I just ordered food to be sent to a company for the wrong day!!! Thank goodness, they hadn't started making it yet and were able to change the order to tomorrow.

I can be so dense sometimes!

Accutane is bad news for a lot of people. My cousin was part of the class action suit because he had major health problems linked to Accutane.

And Accutane was a huge help for me. I think I was one of the few that actually had no bad side effects of it.
 
Things I love about working from home.....on the TV in the background today- Shell's Wonderful World of Golf from Pebble Beach on Golf Channel. The match, Tom Watson vs Jack Nicklaus from 1995!

I had bad side effects, but the end result was way worth it

I haven't had any of the bad side effects. Well none that I can say Accutane caused. Most of my health problems can also be attributed to family history. I do remember reading the side effects when I first started taking it and wasn't too thrilled about them. I think the worst part was having to go monthly and having blood drawn. That sucked.
