I'm sorry the picture looks so small, not quite sure why. I think if you click on the picture, it may expand. And of course, the lighting is off! Everything I am wearing can still be found at stores, except for the shoes. Sadly, those were purchased a couple years ago.
I am wearing:
~Black jacket with attached belt: Forever 21
~Black top (underneath): Express
~Dark skinny jeans: Express (stella fit)
~Creme scarf (so soft!): Nordstrom
~Leopard print peep toe heels: Guess




Thank you for reading,

Burts Bees: Acne Spot Treatment

12.02.2009

I don't know if it's because of college finals or the stress of the holidays that is causing my skin to freak out, but lately my chin and nose have become riddled with spots. I have never really had too much trouble with acne, but I did break out once in a while during my teen years. Oh the joys of adolescence ;) I thought that maybe once I reached my twenties, all traces of breakouts would magically disappear. I didn't take into account how stressful my last year of college was going to be. So, let's just blame my bad skin on school these days. I don't break out that often, but when I do, it isn't pretty. I get horrible cystic bumps, almost always on my chin. I think it must have something to do with resting my hand on it during boring lectures.

So this morning before class I went to CVS and bought the Burts Bees Spot Treatment. It is a little bottle with yellowish liquid. I'm hoping for a miracle. It contains 0.75% salicylic acid, which is supposed to eliminate current acne, as well as prevent future breakouts. Here is what the package says: "This natural spot treatment is clinically proven to help reduce and improve the appearance of blemishes without irritating skin. Formulated with tea tree, calendula, yarrow, and parsley extracts to help soothe skin and reduce redness and borage extract to promote healthy skin resulting in clear and smooth skin, naturally." Well i hope so! I have never tried Burts Bees, but I have heard many wonderful things about the brand. I am going to put some of it on a few spots that I have tonight and see how and if it works. I'm sure they won't disappear overnight. But I must say I am excited to try a new product, even if it is for something as annoying as blemishes.

Blog Awards

I was fortunate enough to be given two blog awards today, one from Catanya of http://catanyasthings.blogspot.com/ and also one from Laura of http://magnolianotes.blogspot.com/. Thank you so much girls! These really do mean a lot to me because I want to make sure that everyone actually enjoys what I blog about. Awards offer a little reassurance ;)



I believe I have already received the award that Laura gave me, but I feel bad not accepting!  I want to pass the love on to these  fellow bloggers for both awards as well, or maybe just the one they haven't received yet:
