Ever since the Great Proactiv Debacle of 2007, I have been fighting acne. As an adult. An adult with acne.
What made it worse is that my skin has always been pretty fantastic. Like milk. Milk. (My skin is almost the only genetically awesome thing I’ve ever received from my parents.)
I don’t wear makeup, I don’t rock a massive wardrobe, and I don’t spend more than 1 minute on my hair. I do, however, moisturize.
And exfoliate. And drink lots and lots of water. I’m all about the vitamins and antioxidants. And masks, serums, creams, gels, mattifiers, peels, extracts. No domain is safe, I often raid the kitchen for beauty supplies!
But nothing I have been able to lay my hands on has solved my acne problem…until now.

When the damage is so massive, so entrenched it’s hard to know where to get started.
Here’s how the Goddess of Clutter (that would be me

For those of you who don’t know, I kind of live in the middle of nowhere. (Temporarily!) It is, essentially, a “family compound”. One person moved here 20 years ago and family-by-family my husband’s relatives trickled in over the years.
It’s been…interesting integrating into the family culture and it has been a challenge that I have been wrestling with.
We believe that our greatest support and encouragement will come from family and friends, yet it is often our family and friends who are the least optimistic about our chances for success. Or making a massive impact. Or changing our lives.
Did Gandhi’s parents ever imagine he would lead the peaceful revolution of his country?
The flip side of this is that it can be hard to celebrate the success of people in your social sphere, of your family and friends. We feel that anyone in our circle is a peer and that their success should have been attainable for us.
