Closing week 3 of my Accutane Adventure.
And closing it with a holiday trip filled with caffeine and alcohol has me feeling a bit inflamed right now. My skin that is.
So excited to be going back to Scottsdale, AZ to see family with some better looking skin, only to get there and face a vaca-full of intense peeling. INTENSE. Only when I've had a chemical peel in the past has it peeled so much.
From humid here to dry as a bone there. For me dry's the best kind of weather, for my skin it was straight pee-oh'd. That's how us t-v news folk write script. Not PO'd. Say it out loud with me now, pee-oh'd.
Come to think of it, I should do those pronouncers with more inappropriate works.
eff-d.
Anyway, my skin was a mix of pee-oh'd and eff-d. Not hot red though, and that was a huge improvement for me.
For the first time in months I'm not embarrassed to be caught without makeup.
I went black friday shopping (a little passion of mine) and didn't even bother to bring a makeup bag for touch ups.
Don't get me wrong, my lower cheeks and chin are still what could only be considered a hot mess.
And then today I didn't put a stitch of makeup on, no foundation, no concealer, no nothing, and I went out in public.
AND I made eye contact and struck up a conversation about vegetable steaming bags with the clerk at Kroger.
By struck up a conversation I really mean answered in a complete sentence while maintaining eye contact.
Clerk "Do there Vegetable steaming bags work well?"
Me "Yeah, I think so, my husband uses them a lot."
Impressive, huh.
I can feel my attitude about my skin really changing. Its not on my mind every millisecond of every day
