The saga continues... Acne, Acupuncture, and a Chemical Peel

Acne.... You are still here?!

Hey y'all it's me here again.  Hmmmm where do I begin there was still more acne and it seemed to 
continue to pop up in the same areas. Pop... pop...pop and still I haven't learned the concept that one should not pop these bumps so they were now irritated and felt like an open wound.

Damn you acne.... So after more research seemed like that is all I did at the beginning smh.  I decided to give acupuncture a try and GOSH did I not know what I was missing out on.  The feeling you receive after having that done is ah-mazing (note to self schedule an appointment soon).  The needles went in my face, my arm, between my pretty toes, stomach and a couple on my leg.

Acupuncture was sooooo worth it
I was nervous at first but this experience was much needed and so worth it.  Plus my liver and kidneys were working overtime from the Nexplanon (I still had the implant during this time).   So I continue to try and be great but the acne would behave then come back like it had a vendetta against me *sigh*
Needles in my wrist and hand

The next thing that I tried was a chemical peel and that was an interesting experience as well but a licensed esthetician is a MUST!  You will shed skin like a snake and it is sooooo gross yet so funny to watch because the new skin is literally soft as a babies ass.

Just wanted to share some of the things that I did to assist with my hormonal acne (temporary fixes to the bigger issue at hand the... hormones).  Next blog post I will talk about finding, interviewing and hiring a naturopathic doctor because well ya girl needed some damn help with this mess!  If you have any questions or comments leave them down below or shoot me an email.  Stay tuned and wait for it....

 Here comes my blog catch phrase so get tired of it.... 

Chat with y'all soon,

Ki (like hi but with a "k" not key (I do not unlock doors  😭)

      No the chemical peel didn't hurt or burn. It did help shed layers of the skin to reveal new skin. Lol it was definitely a different experience to watch your skin literally peel lol

My journey.... The hormones... The acne

The beginning.... of hormonal acne Hi y'all I'm Ki (creator of this blog) and this is the 1st blog post of many.  I'm here to share my dreaded journey of hormonal acne. Being a woman is hard enough at times, but one day your cheeks and jawline have massive pimples that seemed to have appeared overnight.  Me being the fan-fucking-tastic person that I am here I go POP..pop... POP.  The next day there were more and in the next few days to follow.      Seems like there were baby pimples even growing on my face and multiplying rapidly.  So being the great human being that i am I immediately made an appointment with not one but TWO dermatologists to try and get this taken care of ASAP.  The verdict is in....... Ma'am you are dealing with a case of hormonal acne and one would like for me to try Spironolactone and the other Accutane *clutches pearls*.  Neither of the medications I wanted to try so it was time to search for some holistic...

It's been a long time how's everyone been?!  Life can be so busy and I have neglected my baby (this blog).  So I will update on what I have been up to lately because I know y'all nosey af 😂. September 18, 2018 I started Accutane (Absorica 80mg a day) I felt this was the best route for me since I balanced my hormones.  Accutane is definitely not for everyone, ,but it did work great for me! November 2018 traveled to Tokyo Japan for a week while still on Accutane!  Best trip ever and the ramen OMG can't wait to go back.   January 22, 2019 my last day taking Accutane!  Great thing is I hit my cumulative dosage in 4 months and not 5-6 months so I finished early. February 2019 until the present trying to live my best life!!! Accutane effects literally began day two of taking the medication and man the dry lips, corners of the lips cracking, and body aches aren't for the weak.  It was an experience that I don't regret, but I wa...

  Listen this is how most of us new grownups feel these days.  Life been life'n and so much craziness has been going on.  Let's get into the bullshit, the good shit, and this bumpy ride 😂. We always strive for more and to keep progressing in life right?  June 2023 the position I wanted became available in my area (it is territory based due to travel) so of course I applied.  Due to some company logistics they wanted to offer it, but couldn't.  November 2023 a new one came open and I applied, created my presentation and had my interview and presented my presentation.  Felt good afterwards and waited to hear.  They offered me the position and that pay increase had me like bitch you did that!   Ohhhhhhh baby this is where the good takes the turn and has me like I know they not playing in my fuckin face like this.  February 2024 I was minding my business and in the field working in Huntersville, NC.  We get a random meeting on our...
