Skin Problems

I've always had problem skin (suffered with acne as a teenager) and I still get the occasional flare=up. But I recently saw this post on Reddit about acne treatments that work, and it basically involves using some simple skin care products in a specific order - it's been working very well for me, and it's so much cheaper than Proactiv, or any expensive products that I've had to use before to get any results.

So basically, you just use a gentle cleanser, then use a benzoyl peroxide product (the guide actually recommends Acnezine which is the one I've been using after reading the guide) and then using a moisturizer. I've been using a Clinque one, but I think any works ultimately.

Since I've started doing this about 2 weeks ago, my skin has been a lot smoother, clearer, and any acne flareups have practically disappeared as soon as they arrive. I'm not getting pimples any more (or if I do, they aren't as severe) and it's been working well. I love that I've found such a simple skin care routine that works for my skin, because it's usually such a nightmare! Anyway, just thought I'd share this to anyone who's reading.

Date Night: The IT Guy

So, I went for a date yesterday evening, at the usual venue - a typical Nepalese restaurant. While the food was enjoyable, the conversation was severely lacking. I don't think I've ever been on a date with such awkward conversation to be honest, I even felt like living half way through!

Towards the end, he said he had a great time (was he even there?) and hoped he would see me again (oops). I guess I need to be more careful in future about being setup with friends, because that was such an awkward evening...

Lara Dore's Life Disaster...

When I was younger I used to keep a journal. I'd write down all my thoughts, wishes and problems, and somehow just writing seemed to help. But now that I'm older, I thought it would be cool to start a blog and share some of my thoughts and things that are going on in my life.

So this is why I'm writing my first post today!

I guess I'm going to write about dating, skin care make up, school, hobbies, and whatever else is on my mind. Anyway, thanks for reading, and we will see how this goes! :)
