I'm back!

I know it's been a long time since I last posted here or any of my other blogs really. For the beginning of this year I had some strange neurological issues, which affected just about every part of my life. We still haven't identified it but I am functioning very normally now. I'm ready to write again!

A few things that you can hopefully expect in the upcoming posts:
Even my best beauty regimens would only help part of the time. I was only really clear for about a week during a month but that wasn't what got me to go again to a dermatologist. My face, the entire face, would just ache. With some cleansers I could go eight or nine hours before it started hurting, but most would hurt after an hour. The doctor determined that I have an excess of testosterone and put me on a mild blocker in addition to a dapsone topical (a very simple, gentle acne treatment and anti-inflammatory) and blu-light. My skin has never been this good! I'd like to do a post detailing my regimen and one about the blu-light treatment.

I will definitely be writing a lot about makeup soon! Now that my skin isn't fighting me tooth and nail, I've been getting back into makeup, which I haven't done for several years. I'm using a lot of bare escentuals and I'm also experimenting with some vegan brands I've recently discovered. I plan on writing detailed reviews of each once I have used them a little longer.

Very exciting stuff!
