Hi! I missed you!
If there’s anything I haven’t done lately, it’s thinking and pondering and wondering…but that’s for a different post. I’ll leave that to the leprechauns to chase. This is for something more tangible and more closely defined within the typical consumerist minds of Americans — yay a product review. Not really.
It’s more like a little list of things I would not want my less conscious mind to forget to buy in case I ever run out or they break or my dog eats it.
(Pardon me for my ignorance but I do not know how to post a picture in this shit hole in line with my text).
This saved my life! For the first time in my entire existence, I broke out on my cheeks — these minuscule little shitheads populated my face and nose…and they brought along their parents, big ugly hormone-caused oil and puss filled red mountains of doom. It’s like the ring of fire but on my face. So, I used this twice a day till it started clearing and my face dried out a little. Whenever I put this on my cheeks and occasionally on my forehead, I felt like I had a face lift. It kept my skin tight, but dry. So I had to make sure to put a slab of moisturizer after it was absorbed. It has 1.5% salicylic acid which is less than the typical 2% that is found on most acne treatment products that I’ve tried so far, but it was good enough. The gel dries quickly and I like that. Yay.
Pancho bit into my bottle — since it’s so soft and squeezable — so now there’s a hole on the side. I didn’t want to throw it away so I patched it up with a little tape hehehe. I would not want to buy a brand new bottle a day after I just got one. Okay that’s all! So, Trisha, thou shall not forget to buy this again.
I remember back in high school, all the girly girls would be so proud to have this. 5 years later, I finally got my own! After a year of using some 99c eyelash curler that would chop off my eyelashes and keep the rest curled only to the side, and cut into my eyelids, I finally thought of getting this.
So, I tried it yesterday. I liked how the curler is not so curved and how the pad is a little bit more round than the one I was using before — The curve fits the shape of my eyes. The round pad prevents eyelashes from having that very noticeable crease or the “L”. Best 20 bucks of my life.
3. Uhm… Ichimi Togarashi
This goes into almost every dish I eat! Yummy. I dont taste it so much but it adds a little spicy kick to my food. Heh. Just had to add this in here. Grocery list item #1, added.
Okay that’s all. I would not want to dive in the consumer pool just yet.

Hello trish, good site you have, and as it complements my own site I thought it may be useful to add some information about acne treatment which I believe your visitors would find useful.
If you suffer with acne, you would be better to take all-natural, whole foods and drinks
Make the shift to whole foods and you alter your whole life. Getting rid of your acne will only be the start, but we won’t get into all the other powerful benefits. When you consume natural, your body returns to its natural, acne-free state, plain and simple. You know the routine. Fresh, raw, and preferably organic vegetables and fruits, fresh fish, seeds and nuts, purified water, and whole grains such as old-fashioned oats and brown rice. But again, knowing and acting are two different things.
There are other shoulds and should-nots that are worth mentioning, but the two we just discussed are easily the most important.
