The Chunky Heel

You may or may not have heard of it. The chunky heel. It's one of the shoe trends, well for now.
I have to say: I always were a fan of chunky heels (with platform). Why? Because it looks classy, cute, edgy and feminine. Plus I could never walk in stilettos. The heels are so thin O.o! And if someone with 'thicker' legs wears them it looks like they are torturing the heels. Yes, lets be honest. Stilettos will look better on someone with slim/skinny legs. 


But why does the chunky heel suddenly appear A LOT?
Idk, don't ask me? I think the chunky heel is from the 70s.  Jep, that may sounds wrong, but i love the 70s. The clothes, the way everything was 'laid-back', (the serie) and the music. If you think about it most fashion trends/items repeats themselves. They just change 1 thing, modernize it and Voilá new hot fashion item. That is one of the cool things of fashion. That is my opinion. Just take a look.


Look at the design of the heel. Familiar? lol
Just picture the the white part black. And the yellow with blue spots,  black with white spots.
Modern, Right? By the way i would totally buy them if it was black with white spots.
Now the modernize chunky heel.

Haha you can clearly see i got the image from Milanoo.
I'm eyeing at these shoes for a long long time. I don't really think the fashion trends changes. I think the way we look at fashion changes . That's probably why we are liking the 'vintage-look' now. Now I'm thinking of it, my fashion taste hasn't changed (yet). I still like the polka-dot vintage/70s-50s look. I hoop i will still like it when I'm 60 wtf. Now that we already talking about heels, let me post the heels that i want.


First pair! How cute! ♥ And it's going to make me incredibly tall!


These shoes are cute as well, but a bit edgy. I think these are super easy to style with a dress, jeans or skirt. 
But i don't know what color  i want.

Another example of cute shoes that i want to buy. I think these shoes are that kind that you would only wear ones or twice and then put in your shoe rack to look at.. and pet them wtf?




So high and small!


I am into floral prints..


Wedges-love♥



Japan!


In love with Mary Jane heels.
Wow i feel like i can go one for hours, but let's not do that

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.
