A note about acne

Lately (since around New Year’s) I’ve only been putting lemon juice (mostly to help hyperpigmentation), and sometimes honey,oatmeal, or egg whites on my face.  AND MY FACE HAS IMPROVED SO MUCH. I don’t have very many actual pimples, it’s mostly just a lot of scarring.  However, I do use a gentle facial scrub (St. Ives- apricot for sensitive skin) a few days a week when I have a lot of dead skin that needs to be exfoliated away, and Pond’s Dry Skin Cream on days when my face is super dry. (Combination skin sucks ass)

For makeup I use Bare Minerals- have been since the summer- and smashbox tinted moisturizer. I may be able to attribute clearer skin to the smashbox as well, just because I bought it on New Year’s Day, also around the time I started avoiding harsh products.

But other than, that, ALDFNMSDLKCDMSA,LFN this makes me so happy!! Ive always heard that using natural stuff can tremendously help your skin, but I didn’t know it would so much (at least, that is what I’m attributing it to.)

I don’t think it’s too much from cleaning up my diet because even tho I do try to eat mostly clean, it’s not 100% clean eating, so idk.

Here’s the plan, Stan.

For this semester, I shall:

• eat if I’m hungry, as often as it takes
• no starvation, and no binging.
• NO trans fats. Idgaf if it’s the most yummy delicious food on the planet. NO NO NO NO NO NO NO
• Running 3 times a week
• yoga 2 times 
• avoid artificial sweeteners if possible. REAL SUGAR, MAN. 
• Become confident, happy, and healthy :)

I really wish I liked green tea

but the taste… I just can’t…

Evil trans fats…

Hay guise 

When you buy food, don’t assume that it’s healthy just because the nutrition label says “0g trans fat”. You need to actually look at the ingredients for the words “margarine, shortening” and more specifically “hydrogenated oil”.  

Hydrogenated oil= trans fat.  And food companies can get away with putting it as 0g on the label if a serving contains less than 0.5g of trans fat. Surprisingly a lot of foods contain tiny amounts of trans fat, even though the label doesn’t blatantly say so.  These can include (some, but of course not all) peanut butter, cereals, crackers, salad dressings, granola bars, and the list goes on… So just check the ingredients, and if the food has hydrogenated oil, then DO NOT BUY IT. 

It really makes you wonder wtf you’re eating, huh? 

Greek yogurt is the best thing to happen since sliced bread.

Eat less(but healthy and filling) calories

Not be as hungry or get the late night munchies.

Feels good man.

Mind over matter

Don’t eat that food. You’re not hungry. You don’t need it.

No no no no no.
