Vitamins to Heal Acne

Continuing from my previous post regarding the overuse of vitamins in your body and ways to get them through a healthy diet.. Here are some tips on what vitamins are good to take to battle acne:

Vitamin A:

  • Needed to help with inflammation and acne
  • Prevents buildup of clogged pores
  • Calms swollen, red and sore pimples
  • Recommended: 10, 000 iu's daily
Omega-3 Fatty Acids:
  • "Best" anti-inflammatory in nature
  • EPA is the better anti-inflammatory so look for this to be higher than DPA
  • Avoid vegetable oils which tend to make acne worse

I will be looking into some of these to take and see if it helps!

Gym Routine in a Corporate World

Since I've entered the "corporate world" it's been pretty hard to stay active. Going from retail to a 9-5 really gets you! I got "fat" and now I'm trying to get back... Ok, I'm not fat. But I definitely gained some more of it! I thought my birth control made me fat, and maybe it added to the weight gain, but I can't blame it all on it. When working retail I was always on my feet, moving around, lifting boxes, etc etc. Now, I sit down 80% of the day so if I'm not getting a workout during work, I need to get up and do something. I used to sit around in the lunchroom, watch TV, but I made a pact with myself (lol) to go to the gym each day on lunch! I wasn't sure if I could pull it off, but I've been consistent since and I plan on continuing! Check out my fitness body composition where I started off before going daily!

2022 Outlook — Curls, Skincare and Wellness

I thought I'd create a post since reviving my blog (instead of the very old 2015 post I had chilling as my "featured post" lol. So here I am, creating a post to get the ball going and hopefully get some accountability going! For the last year I stuck to journaling and keeping most of my thoughts to myself (or with close family and friends), however I really wanted to take the leap of getting back into blogging and vlogging! I'm super excited and hope you'll rock with me. Here's the content lineup: Curly Hair (because of course, it's consumed my life for the last 7 years 🤫) Skincare (because a girl still has dry skin and acne, and I doubt that will go anywhere 😂) Wellness (because I've always been the "athletic girl" and overall health is SO IMPORTANT) If you're here for all of that, then stick around and stay posted for more :)

New Birth Control Made Me Fat?

Excuse the title but lol, a little how I feel! I have been taking YAZ for about 3 years and always had doctor's telling me to switch off of it because of an increased percentage in blood clots. After hearing the YAZ commercials, it started scaring my Mom to the point she told me to switch as well. To be honest, I loved YAZ. Never got pregnant, always had a light period, sex drive wasn't an issue, acne was light (pimple every now and then), and my weight wasn't an issue. I switched in January 2014 to Tri-Cyclin after doing some research on pills that were similar to YAZ, for the benefits I listed above. Tri-Cyclin seemed to have good reviews, but the biggest bummer was the longer periods. However, I wanted to make my Mom happy so I switched "for my health". Didn't notice a change in acne, or weight gain, but I could have sworn I was moodier around my period, and had a heavier flow that I wasn't used to. I decided to stick with it but eventually got fr...
