What does it say about me that I had the thought this morning, whilst washing my face, “I think Kristabella recently blogged something about having had acne issues…I should tell her about Proactiv!”

Wow.

I mean, you don’t know me. I don’t know you. But I do enjoy your blog. You seem genuinely kind, and you swear in all the right places. So I guess, while it may be kind of pathetic that strangers’ blogs come to the forefront of my mind while I go about my day, I like you (in a stranger kind of way), and so want to tell you about things that have helped me in similar situations. (Remember, I also had to tell you about my husband’s success with Prilosec the other day, too. Sheesh, who am I, anyway? WebMD?)

Anyway…

I, too, have dealt with adult acne issues, so I took Jessica Simpson’s advice (’cause who can’t trust Jessica Simpson?) and gave Proactive a whirl. And guess what? She wasn’t lyin’. Go figure.

Be careful if you have sensitive skin, though. My sister does, and it chewed her face to bits.

Luck!

Home ownership is one of the best decisions I ever made! It feels good.
Just be cautious of all the extra maintanence type costs that come along with it (fixing things that break, basically) – I wasn’t prepared for that part and didn’t have any money set aside for that.

Dude, they now have these daily face wipes (basically baby wipes) for super lazy people like us. $7 a package, and they work even when you’re totally wasted.

I won’t advocate any specific brands, ’cause advertising on other peoples’ blogs is super cheesy, but yeah. Face wipes are the bomb.

Do you like the Jillian Michaels DVD? I’ve heard it’s pretty crazy. I had it in my hand at Target but went with the Biggest Loser DVD instead…I think Bob is hotter. But Jillian would probably kick my butt more.

The high in Dayton is 4 degrees tomorrow also, so I’m with you on the miserable booger freezing-ness. BRRRRR!

Very interested to see what you think of The Shred. It should be called "30 variations on a push-up" thecoconutdiariess last blog post..She Said/She Said: The Introduction

I resonate with the renting thing…wanting to own is powerful, and sometimes I think it’s because it’s how culture validates us as “full adults”…see my ramblings!http://specialktreatment.blogspot.com/2008/09/just-renting.html

1. I don't wash my face every night either. Mostly because I'm asleep before our water gets anywhere warm enough to actually put it on my face. So, until we get city water (not likely) or it gets warm, I'll probably be wiping it with a makeup off sheet and hoping for the best. 2. Oh, yea, the get healthy thing. Does this mean giving up vodka? Not happening. I try to work out when the Diva isn't downstairs though. 3. Woot! Someplace for me to sleep when I come to Chicago.

1. Right now I keep telling myself to get off my arse and wash my face and “get ready for bed”. But I don’t want to and I’m lazy.
2. I’ve never heard of this Shred thing, but it sounds like a good idea. Is it a DVD thing?
3. If you buy a house then you’ll have somewhere to park your car – and that alone has to be worth it, right?
4. It is freakin’ cold out there. But I don’t need to tell you that, but I think it feels better to complain about it to others who KNOW what it’s been doing here. This winter sucks. I broke my 3rd ice scrapper today.

Save money first and foremost.
Banks aren’t loaning like they use to.
Go get pre approved first.
And then enjoy the stress of looking and buying the best thing to call your own.

I actually pay less on my mortgage then I did when I was renting. However, when my roof caves in, my siding flies off, and my gutters tumble down because they're so packed with ice from my crappy insulation... um, I'm responsible. Hold me. Decembers last blog post..Alphabet Soup!
