So, if you read previous blogs, you may know that I am struggling with acne and getting over the fact that it is on my face. Although I'm not really embarrassed about it, I do struggle with not touching my face or making the problem spots bleed on accident. I'm like a little kid when it comes to my fidgeting: my nails, my face, my cuticles, ect....I know I should pray for God to help me overcome, but my finger and face seem so minor compared to the prayers for other people in my life.
So back to my face troubles...and the title of my blog. Today one of our very nice clients noticed my face and asked if I was doing ok. I have been working a lot, but I really don't think it's stress. If anything I think it has more to do with the fact that I changed face cleaning products. When I mean change, I mean actually started ritually cleaning my face at night and in the morning. Like a mom nagging a child to do homework, perhaps all the attention irritated my face. Anyway, this very nice lady recommended putting raw potato on my face. I had to ask her again because I wasn't sure I heard her right (and it wasn't just because she had a strong accent either). Sure enough, she said she used to have a job where her face had to always be clean and acne free, so she would put thin slices of potato on her face, or the juice from the potato. I had never heard of such a thing. I looked it up online, and apparently many people have written on the subject. Tonight I grated a potato, not for hash-browns, but to wipe on my face. I felt so silly. I will have to update you on the success of this experiment.
Oh and I"m very excited. My parents are coming down from up North and are meeting us in LA to go to Universal Studios. We'll spend two nights up there and do the Universal Studios thing and then drive back down to our house for another night and full day of fun. I'm still debating what to make them for dinner, but I think I want to take them to a local restaurant, Cafe 101, for some great old fashion breakfast.
Well, thats all for tonight. I leave my blog with this passage for I have heard the word "worry" many times today.
6Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. 7And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus. -Phillipians 4:6-7 NIV
