The only thing that worked for him is olive leaf extract-- it comes in a pill at health food stores. Just a tip. And I LOVE your blog and have spent my whole lunch hour and work pouring through your old posts.

A fashion rebirth....ok, getting too deep.<br />2. ugh to problem skin. I've struggled since 12 with acne, it's ok now but sometimes I get crazy flare-ups. My dad says it means we're still young. I'll take it.<br />3. I couldn't think of anyone who should go to the conference more than you. You are beyond stylish, and a great blogger and blog supporter.

I love your blog b/c I feel like I know you, and ever since I read that post about how frank you were about your pose (and that someone said you looked alien! I do NOT have thick skin like you, I would have cried!) I have earnestly come back for that same dose of honesty. <br /><br />Once, a great man I knew saw me chewing the inside of my mouth. "The sign of a true woman," he said.<br /><br />I think about that when I read your blog. You're a true woman. I hope you win a trip to Chictopia 10...

Sometimes bloggers just seem too perfect and it makes them less attractive to me.

Proactiv helped for a long time, but for the last few years I've been following the acne.org regimen, and my skin is the best it's ever been. I also exfoliate a couple of times a week and that helps the regimen work, I think. It's not very expensive (I buy their giant bottles of benzoyl peroxide and they last months), and even though I didn't believe an over-the-counter solution would work better than prescription drugs, it really does. <br /><br />And big hugs about the skin--I know how much it hurts your self-confidence to have crappy skin. Even though it's just a "little thing," it is really detrimental in a way that is hard to understand if you've never been through it.Rachelhttp://transientexpression.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4235431019167859021.post-68027594098206858542010-01-23T10:55:27.364-08:002010-01-23T10:55:27.364-08:00i have it, too. it stinks...i'm nearing 30 (l...i have it, too. it stinks...i'm nearing 30 (literally, next month!) and i can't seem to get rid of the "hormonal"/stress acne on my jaw line. just when i think it's cleared up, i get another! it's embarrassing. i used to have great skin! i guess my hormones are just outta whack these days. FYI...i also have very sensitive skin and use aveeno skin brightening daily scrub. it does seem to help, but the BEST part about it, is that it makes the rest of my skin look bright and clear and really smooth! maybe try it?<br /><br />anyway, love the outfit post and i'm envious that you get to play in the snow! i'm from the midwest, but have lived in california since 99. so, yes...i love the nice weather, but miss the snow dearly. <br /><br />have a nice weekend, dear.<br />:)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4235431019167859021.post-59976302340202536032010-01-23T08:57:32.434-08:002010-01-23T08:57:32.434-08:00Oh, these pictures are absolutely wonderful.

I don't think I commented though (felt kinda like a creeper). BUT I seriously could not leave without saying the following- <br />1- I have a dress JUST like that. Same cut and neckline. I got it specifically for a formal event, so it's a bit dressier. But I have been sooo desperate to find a way to dress it down, I was about to email Christine {from my style pill} and ask for her help. But you nailed it! Thank you! <br /><br />2- you are gorgeous. <br /><br />3- the fact that you had a 9.5 lb baby and are stretch mark free... makes me so happy/jealous. And I don't even have kids! <br /><br />So thanks/have a great weekend/sorry for writing a novel length comment on your blog! <br /><br />elle.belle.bee@hotmail.comEllenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4235431019167859021.post-65524301796272434302010-01-22T19:36:54.330-08:002010-01-22T19:36:54.330-08:00beautiful pictures!
