Face It

I have no shame and I have no problem with posting this photo of myself. I have some skin issues as you can see.
I need some advice. What kind of acne treatment or face wash works for you?

I've used Proactive for about three years and I guess I was pretty happy with it. I never had a clear face though, i was always covering up at least two or three pimples. My problem with Proactive was that I felt so dependent on it. If I skipped the toner or used a different face lotion once in a while I would break out bad. Also, it was pretty expensive and inconvenient to buy due to the fact that it's not sold in regular stores.

Right now I've been using an Aveda cleanser and lotion treatment. It's been 4 weeks and my skin has never been so bad. I'm not sure if I should stick it out until the cleanser is all used up (it was expensive) and see if it starts to work eventually. Or should I try something new? And what should I try?

Friends and family leave your advice in a comment box.

Friday Friday

After a stressful day of studying and test taking yesterday I needed to blow off some serious stress. So I went to Hobby Lobby and there I found a really cute canvas bag for $4. I wasn't sure what I wanted to do with it, so I went home and searched "canvas bag" on Pinterest. I found exactly what i didn't know I was looking for.
What you need:
a canvas bag
fabric paint
paper doily
and spray adhesive
(the adhesive was $10 so i skipped that step)



I really love how it turned out, its not as defined or neat as the one I found on Pinterest but that's ok. That would be because I didn't use a spray adhesive to keep the doily still.
Any ideas for what font I should use for my "A" that'll go in the middle?

This project totaled out to be $8.
Not too shabby for a custom bag.
Happy weekend!

I hope you had a wonderful Columbus Day.. more than anything I hope you knew it was Columbus Day. Not because it's that important of a holiday or anything but if you needed an excuse for a holiday vacation, yesterday would have worked.
(this is my roommate Alycia. we made boats to celebrate and then floated them in a canal)

Video Monday

Videos I'm loving at the moment:

Beyonce! I haven't always been a fan... I know crazy, because everyone loves Beyonce. Well now I am, after seeing this video who could not fall in love with her? The actual song isn't my favorite but the video/music combo makes it something to love.

I'm also loving Lana Del Rey's Video Games and Blue Jeans music videos.
They're so captivating... kind of like passing a horrific car crash.. you're not really sure if you should continue watching but can't seem to advert your gaze. I have no idea who she is but I think she's about to become someone big in the music world.


Pinterest... my goodness I can't stop pinning. I'm kind of a late comer onto the pinterest scene and the reason being... I knew I'd probably be hooked and the last thing I need is another time waster...which brings me to my last video

Favorite TV moment of the past week:

Emma and Will praying together on Glee and Will singing Fix You by Coldplay

I'm not saying Glee is an inspired television show or anything but this was pretty sweet and tender and i felt all warm and fuzzy after watching it.
