Don't interfere with your serenity, in this case, your beauty

I'd like to thank everyone for leaving a comment and give me an opinion of my struggle with being nice w/o being stepped on. As hard as it is to control my anger/rage, I really feel like it's unnecessary to go through the explosion, b/c at the end, I'm the only one suffering. I went to for my second time colonics last night and I told my colon therapist that I've been feeling stressed and angry all the time. He said, "remember the next time you want to be angry or go into rage, tell yourself to don't interfere with your serenity. You mind was at peace, why let the little things interfere with the serenity you've built for yourself? Be kind to yourself."

So true, almost zen like, I think I defnitely should find some spiritual or emotional inspiration to keep myself from blowing up. In a city like Manhanattan where everybody's stepping over everybody's toes, it's hard to keep it together, but we must.. be kind to ourselves.

Anyways, PMS and pity bickering left my face with a few explosion as well. Usually when I get pimples, I get those under the skin, no white head, but hurt as a mofo type. So I've been using the following samples from Mario Badescu and find them to be very effective. The following are the ones I really like and will repurchase. Speaking of Mario Badescu, after my first time facial at the spa, I received a card for thanking me to visit their spa and gave me a 15% off coupon for my next visit. I'm definitely going back there.


The Drying Cream - it's used a spot treatment. I dab it on at night and sometimes in morning, but you have to be careful, even though it says it has flesh color and will conceal, it tends to look very tacky/cakey/flakey. I'd usually just dab it on at night. I won't say the bump goes away in 1 night, but I definitely feel it going down in 2 nights. Nothing is magical, it takes time for the inflammation to calm down. However, I feel that the best thing to do in the case of acne is prevention. B/c once the pimple pops, it will leave a scar. I've popped pimple on myself for years, done it in salon too. I know they say it won't leave a scar ifyou do it right. But there is "right" way of doing it. You are still tearing through the pore/skin and leaveing your skin with trauma. Scar/mark is inevitable. You can use some kind of acids to burn the skin off to make it appear smoother, but the scar will take a long time to go away.
Cucumber Tonic Mask - I got this one and the Orange Tonic Mask. I feel like this one is much much much more powerful than the Orange one. I put it on around my T zone, and 15 mins later, you can see ALL the black heads are peeking their head out. It's so gross! I never knew this was supposed to draw black head out, I only used it as a "oil control" mask. But OMG, you will be so grossed out to see all the black heads. I put on a nose strip and squeezed out even more. It hurts a lot less, since the black heads are out half way already. It's a great product for your nose/chin to eliminate black heads.
Azulene Calming Mask - My skin gets very irritated when I squeeze it or use harsh products on it. The inflammation is not just on the pimple it self, it spreads around the pimple area as well. The redness on my cheeks all comes from inflammed pores. I put these on my cheeks while I put Cucumber Tonic Mask on my T-zone. and this definitely calms down my skin. I can see it's softer, brighter and cool. It doesn't get hard, b/c it doesn't have that much clay in it. but it's very comfortable to wear.

These 3 products saved my face. I don't have time to go the spa every time my face gets all fucked up. But spot treatment and mask really does the trick. It takes my skin about 3 days to clear up and it's all thanks to MB. I used to use a lot of different products to treat my skin, but nothing is really "magical". Although MB is not a miracle, b/c it does take time, however, it's great at doing what it's supposed to do.

I've been simplifying my skincare regime b/c honestly, I feel like nothing cleared up my skin better than healthy eatting habit and Yaz (the birth control pill). However, in case of emergency, I do need a little extra help from the creams and lotions. I'm still testing out my last new product, but as soon as I'm done, I'll do a post about my skin care regime.

Ciao bella~
