Admit That You Have Acne!

Earlier this week I told someone I couldn't donate plasma because I have acne. Normally, I hate pointing out the fact that I have acne. I know it's pretty obvious when acne is present on someone's face but I feel like if I don't talk about it, then no one thinks about it. However, that's not true. People are going to notice it anyway. So why not just admit to it to relieve it from your system? 

 When I first said I have acne It felt like I was revealing a huge, hidden secret. It's one of those things that you have to admit, to be able to accept it and move on to the next thing in life. It's like... Ok, everyone knows now even though I already knew that they are aware of it, however, now I don't have to hide it. My secret is out and I'm free. Even better, now I feel more comfortable around the poeple who I admitted it to! This feeling of being comfortable gives me more confidence and that's what we all need. We're all beautiful even if we do have acne. 

My point is, admit you have acne to people. Then you don't have to think about what they are wondering about your acne. Talk about it just like you would every other problem and eventually you'll grow comfortable with it. We all know the worst part about having acne is wondering what people think when they look at your skin. Talking about it lets everyone know you're aware of it (and probably working on it) and you're comfortable with it. Your acne will be a thing in the past. Sure, breakouts will keep occurring but the presence of them will already be known. 

I know this sounds kind of silly but it really does make a difference. Admitting something about your self somehow changes the insecurity it fills you up with. Once the initial admittance blows over, you're constant anxiety about your acne disappears. I guess it like a fighting mechanism, if everyone knows you're okay with it, then they can't use it against you. It's all psychological! Go ahead and try it yourself!

The Only Brushes You Need For Traveling

You don't need every brush in your collection when traveling. It's obviously true when a makeup hoarder like myself confesses the cold hard truth. I know it's nice to have a brush for every step but it's not necessary 

to complete a look with every brush in your collection, take it from a makeup hoarder. If I'm saying this, it must be true. 

. 

More so than ever, I'm a huge makeup hoarder and I can't help but pack every single thing I love when I'm leaving. That being said, I'm always left with little to no room for my makeup brushes. After going through the same process over and over again, I finally got the hang of packing the important brushes I need. Honestly, I'm not sure why I packaged a gazillion brushes everytime I went somewhere. There's only a few I require when doing my makeup at home. Why would It be any different when doing my makeup else where? Maybe it's the hoarder within me?

Chit Chat Wednesday| Have You Ever Used Kitchen Supplies For Beauty Related Reasons

Have you ever used kitchen supplies for a beauty related reason? 

My answer: Yes, I have used honey and cinnamon as an acne treatment mask. Unfortunately, it didn't do anything remarkable for my acne. I also tried apple cider vinegar as toner but it was too harsh on my skin. However, it does work on normal skin that is not sensitive or dry. I also tried ice as a cooling agent for my inflammatory acne. It didn't do anything for that but it was cooling on my eyes! 

What have you used in your kitchen? Anything we should all be aware of? Share your secrets in the comments below!
