Acne.. How do I get rid of it?

Let's start with how acne is created: Your skin needs a certain amount of oil to keep it self healthy. But sometimes your body produces to much oil. Acne is the result to that.

Acne can be 'created' if you have a allergic-reaction from food. The most common food that can cause acne is:
Milk, chocolate milk (dairy products), pork, caffeine, processed food, candy(my favorite), ice cream, fried food, Chinese fast food etc.

Approximatly three-quarters of 11 to 30 years- old will get acne at some time. Some people can get breakouts only on their faces, backs and/or chest area. And let me just say, I have acne on my face and chest area. 4 YEARS on my face and 2 years on my chest. Acne can let you feel ugly and ashamed of yourself. I try to get rid of it, but i don't know how. I want acne treatments but mine insurance won't let me -.- fml. We try'd to change it. And for all the people out there who have bad acne, hold on their must be a cure. We just haven't find it yet.


Keep checking your skin. Write down how it reacts when you eat maybe pork or candy. If you breakout the next day. Chances are: You are 'allergic' to them and try to eat them less or not if possible.
Visit a dermatologist or your doctor who will sent you trough to a good dermatologist. Research the internet. Check your insurance to see if they reimburse an acne-treatment.  Because some treatments do help. They try to figure out what causes the acne from inside. And than they work on the outside. What is the most logic thing to do. Before spending money on that kind of treatments, try to do that on yourself.

Most of the time food is the cause of acne.




Acne treatments:

Benzoyl peroxide


Works in 2 ways:
It prevents dead skin plugging up hair follicles.
It kills the bacteria on the skin for example if your rub your hands against your face.
Because your hand are the main sources of bacteria! Just think. How many times did you typed something on the computer/laptop/ipad/phone and than rubbed or scratched your face!?

Benzoyl is avaible as cream or gel. Side affects of this product are: Dry skin, itching, redness/or peeling

Same goes for these products, same functions and same side affects: Azelaic acid, Topical antibiotics.
If one of them don't helps for you, you can always go to another. And don't just use them without the advice of a dermatologist/doctor.

There are several Antibiotics tablets for acne just look for them.


You also have Hormonal therapies 



Co-cyprindiol 


which can be used if your body doesn't respond to the antibiotics. Small risk is that woman can develop breast cancer in a later life. Side affects can be bleeding and spotting between your periods, which can sometimes occur for the first few months, headaches, sore breasts, mood changes, loss of interest in sex, weight gain or weight loss. (lol, sounds like PMS to me)




Isotretinoin



helps reduce the production of sebum, It helps prevent follicles from becoming clogged. It decreases the amount of bacteria on the skin. It reduces redness and swelling in and around spots.
Side affects are inflammation, dryness and cracking of the skin, lips and nostrils, changes in your blood sugar levels, inflammation of your eyelids, inflammation and irritation of your eyes, blood in your urine
(WTF!? O.O)

Rarer side effects of isotretinoin are inflammation of the liver inflammation of the pancreas and kidney disease.
There are still a few hormonal therapies i didn't mention. Just look them up.


REMEMBER I AM NOT A DOCTOR NOR A DERMATOLOGIST!
I'M JUST A BLOGGER! GO SEEK A DERMATOLOGIST FOR MORE INFORMATION ON ACNE MEDICATION.

Rihanna's Hairstyles

I am in a "love-hate" relationship with Rihanna although she doesn't even know me lol wtf? I went from being one of her fans to disliking her. And now I'm back with liking her, weird huh? The one thing i liked about her BEFORE disliking her was her style and she (was/seemed) innocent. Than she changed and I didn't want that.. was 12 back than. But now i grew up (a little bit) and i like her again haha..
The one thing i really want to try is her hair style! It's so cute but edgy at the same time. Just for the record: I am definitely a fan of her red hair. From red hair in general lol, kinda wished i had that. But i know it wouldn't suite me. Sucks for me, bro. Y U NO SUITE ME!

But let me show you my favorite redheads and redhead hairstyles!




I want to try this hairstyle out so bad! Just look how pretty it is!


I also want to try the braid, but I'll have to grow my hair longer.. Or put in extensions.


This one is a bit too daring for me lol. But i do like it. If I'll do this hairstyle I would only put one "roll-thingy" one one side


I wonder how the back looks like... 


This one is very old, but I still like it. 


My favorite "Redhead" Ariana Grande also know as Cat in Victorious, She and Jade are my favorite characters.


Linsay Lohan when she was "kind of" a redhead.. I think in mean girls..?

And last but not least Laura Prepon Also known as Donna in That 70s Show! Wow, Still love that show

Moving to the United States of America..?

The other day I was looking at Realtor.com. A site for people who are planning on moving or just looking for a house (in America).

I always wanted to go to America don't ask me why. I guess i'm just curious or something wtf.
And I was thinking after I got my bachelor degree I could move to America! O.o'. I already have a state in mind.. Oklahoma. Where in OK? Idk.. Moore, Del City, Bethany? I really don't know.
Why Oklahoma? Because it's not near the ocean, man! I'm freaking scared of the ocean. Probably because I can't swim..

Going of topic. On the site I was looking at pretty houses and because I wanted to know how much it would cost. The houses I liked where super expensive!

Here two houses I liked..
And this is the second one.

I'm really liking the classic/Roman, Victorian white/beige houses.
That's what I want if i grow up. I'll need a good money earning job for that haha. One of the houses is actually over one million dollar. But i'm determined. I'll get a bachelor degree, work hard, go to america (or Asia) buy a house and live my life.

I told this to my sister.. The only thing she said was: GOOD LUCK WITH THAT!
Yeah.. But I know I can do it. Even if i'm 16 now.. I have the time and by the time i'm hmm.. Maybe 30 i'll have my big ass house HAHA.

Mini Haul > Budget Shopping for 50 Euros ~ 65 Dollars

Short post. 

I went shopping today.. YAY! But I was shopping with a budget. € 50 Euros to be precisely. That is 65,65 Dollars. Not much Ay, but look what I got. 


This 'basic' top




With lace on the top and back. I thought it was very cute and only for € 5 Euros = $6.57
In size XS=34
I was also looking for a shirt with sleeves or a cute vest.. but didn't found any, well at least not a cheap one that fitted into my budget.


The 'Jeans Legging'


With the price tag and all haha.. It was € 6 Euros = $7,88 dollars
In the store where i bought this, they only had size S=36 
But for 'leggings' size S is too big for me. Because my hips are not that wide.. fml. So after spitting trough the "sale" stuff I finally found XS=34. I didn't fit it in the store, didn't had time for that so this picture is my first fit. 1 problem: I Freaking dislike the low crotch, man! What did you expect -.-' I know it's a legging but i would definitely wouldn't try to do cartwheels in this. Otherwise I would end up like Lee Joon From MBLAQ.. 

If you don't know what I'm talking about..
See the video..



You wouldn't believe this but I bought 2 pair of shoes! YEAH, when I purchased them I felt like Wonder Woman  





The first pair. I absolutely adore these shoes! The were €20 Euros = $ 26.26 Dollars.
I love the simple look but it is also kinda edgy and classy looking at the same time.
I bought them in size EU 38=UK 5= American 7.5 I love the way how small my feet looks in them.

The second pair





Bought these for €7 Euros= $9.19
Can you believe that? And it's really good material.. hehe I'm so proud!
Bought them in the same size as the other pair of shoes 

Last but not least I bought earphones cute ones^_^ Blue and Pink



They are €2.50=$3.28 Each And they work well, and fit on my blackberry
lucky me!!


All these items are purchased at TOBAKKO
Thanks for reading!

How to blog? (1)

I have been thinking.. How do I get successful? I still haven't found out the answer to that question. You know why? Because most of the time the key of being successful is work hard and have a bit of luck. But what do you specifically need to do to get there?

I want to be a Journalist. Maybe i'm wrong but I think blogging en reading blogs will help me with that. Ofcourse I want to be educated in journalism. I read quite a few blogs, nope not blogposts but just the whole blog. When I was done reading I thought : "WHOA, why was that so fun to read?" And the post only was about food. The answer to that was because YOU find it intresting obviously. So for people to read your post you have to have a intresting post.. pff are you kidding me? I'd never thought of that *sarcasm overload* But how do you get the audience? And how do you know what people find intresting. And a better question, what kind of audience do you want to attract?

I'm still figuring that out LOL! I'll continue this post when I know more..
