Spring, Summer, and Acne

Thursday, March 24th, 2011

Welcome back!

Spring is here, Summer is coming, and those with acne are getting the medicine that they want to get rid of that stuff.

I am overweight, the title of my blog tells it all. I have never had any trouble with acne however. I have had trouble with the blisters from shingles, but that is not the same thing.

I remember high school. I remember kids who had trouble with acne. I wouldn’t wish that on my worst enemy.

Blackheads

Saturday, February 19th, 2011

There ar redheads, blond heads, brown heads, bald heads. I happen to love someone who has a bald head. I think that he is adorable.

Now back to what I started to talk about. Black heads, not the ones with black hair, but the ones with the troublesome task of blackhead removal.

When growing up, I used tweezers, fingernails, and other things. Some of those things did not smell so good. At least these days there are alternatives to what I used to do.

Well, he is finally better

Friday, October 15th, 2010

Yes, he is better now. He was able to eat several things and has not yet lost them. He did fight off a queasy feeling a couple of times, but now he is better.

I am glad that he was not also afflicted with acne at the same time. Having those things on you, and hurting while trying to find the best acne product would also make him more miserable.

Here is hoping and praying that he will continue to get better and better.

Remember that I had mentioned getting rid of acne, or pimples?

There are many ways to do that. There is also a body acne wash.

This might not seem so far fetched because you can get acne on other places of your body. They can be embarrassing, painful, and a total hassle. I am supposed to be past the age of having these things, but it sometimes still happens.

Speaking of…

Wednesday, September 15th, 2010

Speaking of remembering, do you remember some of the old commercials that used to be on TV?

I remember the little Alka Seltzer man doing his dance. I remember the Jolly Green Giant and his HO HO HO. I remember the man floating through the air to land in a car, supposedly being put there by a car rental agency.

I also remember the commercials about pimple removal, and prevention. There was a cream that was supposedly skin colored, that you could put there to get rid of a pimple, or try to make it smaller.

Now there are so many different ways to get that done that it is amazing.

Good for the Complexion

Friday, July 2nd, 2010

Yes, did I mention the rain?

Well, a humid atmosphere is supposed to be good for the complexion. So….Texas must be full of people with good complexions, right? No need to look for the best acne treatment, no need for the cover-up makeup to cover zits.

Well, maybe. All of the heat means that not only is the weather humid, but it is also hot. Maybe I should say STEAMY and get done with it. Steamy means that people like me will sweat.

Did you know that in the past, people would say that men sweat, and women glow? I guess that they never saw me in action. I could make a horse get embarrassed since it doesn’t sweat as much. :)

Our planet has acne

Thursday, May 27th, 2010

Yes, I did say that our planet has acne.

If you get too much oil on your face, sometimes you get acne. Well with the oil spill out in the Gulf of Mexico, we have too much oil on the surface of our planet. Therefore - acne. Right? Maybe? Maybe acne treatments reviews might help people, but I don’t think it will help in this instance.

I am just wondering how this mess will ever be cleaned up, or if it will be cleaned up. It’s bad enough that all of the oil is being wasted, but the damage that it is doing at the same time is just horrible. The lives being lost in the actual explosion, the wildlife that is being lost, the damage being done to the living of fishermen on the coast, the damage to the environment……

Is there a final answer to this mess?

I hate to think what the final answer might be.

It’s Hot

Tuesday, May 25th, 2010

Just came back from mom going to the doctor for her yearly check-up. So far, everything is okay. (sort of) The temperature outside is definitely telling of summer.

She has lost some more weight. One of her feet is slightly swollen, and her foot has a sore on it that she has had ongoing for 10 years. Even the best acne treatments won’t help it. Ten years ago, she pulled off a wart. It has not yet healed correctly.

They did some blood tests to check out if she is needing a shot to correct her anemia, and she will find out the results later on in the week. She did end up getting the shot, but the rest we do not yet know.

On the way to the doctor, I am sweating greatly, she is hiding in her jacket and trying to hide from the wind. Talk about opposites! She gets cold very easy, I have always gotten hot too easy. The only time that did not happen was when I was anemic because of an old health problem. Well, at least she has her own apartment. We couldn’t live together since I would constantly be roasting in her dwelling. Even her son (my husband) gets too hot in her place. Oh well, we can stand it for small amounts of time when we visit.

Just wonderful - not

Monday, April 19th, 2010

My chin was itching, I scratched it.

Just wonderful, I had a zit. It has been so long since that happened that it caught me off guard. I do not even have any zit medicine at home right now. I can’t even remember what some of the names are -acnepril, clearasil, zits begone…whatever.

Since I was sitting in our vehicle (remember the running?), I didn’t even have the right type of mirror or supplies handy. I hope that it will disappear now and LEAVE ME ALONE. I do not need this on top of everything else.

Sorry, I sound grumpy. That’s another story.

Acne

Monday, January 18th, 2010

Acne can be a total pain on the skin. I used to know people at high school that had lots of trouble with their acne.

That was so long ago that I will not mention when it happened. It happened in St.Louis, Mo. The air there was very humid at times and my friends were in misery at the time. Sweating, and acne do not go together very well. We did not have tretinoin, acne doctors, or any of the famous things for acne that are available today. In fact one thing I read about being used as a treatment back before 1900 was whiskey. Imagine walking around in society smelling like a distillery. EW At least now the ointments that are available for use today have good scents and aromas.
