I use to model and do pageants and so having Cushing's basically made a devastating impact. When I started to get the breakouts I tried every herbal remedy there was to try to fix my skin but of course hypercortilism won the battle. and I soon gave up on my looks. After surgery my skin stopped breaking out around month 5 but I was left with dried out cysts under the skin which would turn into deep scarring. The doctors said I need to peel off the layers to get rid of the scarring.. So I went to the dermatologist and they prescribed me low tane and Retin-A. Now my skin is pretty much flat and smooth however I still have scarring that needs to be healed. I hope in time I can get back my clear skin. As a vow of overcoming my anxiety I will start being social again and putting myself out there in life. There is more to life to see and do than to be stuck in my little bubble being depressed that I have a pimple. I am thankful to have experienced the lowest point in my life. I can only appreciate life more today. If you are suffering from Acne please go see a doctor to make sure the inside of you is okay then a dermatologist and see what treatment they think will work best for you. Good luck and good skin!

My SEVERE CYSTIC ACNE video
Hello guys I made a quick video of my acne journey. I cringe when I looked at my "during" pics bare face. Honestly I still am having anxiety posting this up as it is a very personal issue for me but on my quest to become a brave courageous person I am going to be bold with whatever I do. I need to step out of my comfort zone and live out of my bubble and it will start with this video. I always had a few pimples here and there. I controlled it with Benzoyl peroxide which cleared up my skin 97% . During Cushing's the acne morphed into sever cystic acne. I had boils all over my face and neck and not one part of my face was clear. Every morning I woke up and cried in the mirror and every night I would sob washing off all the caked up makeup off my face. I became very self conscious about my looks. I never knew I placed so much self worth into my looks until I looked so disfigured by Cushings.

ANIME cosplay and SEXY Hotimportnights Ninjas!
Hi there! I just attended the Anime Matsuri Expo and it was very interesting experience! If you don't know, "cosplaying" is basically the word costume+play put together. A person can dress like any cartoon, anime, hero, monster or anything they like and play the role and come to show off their costume. It was a fun time and so I will post up pictures of all the cute costumes I saw. I went as Batgirl and Muffin was Superman and his sister was Mikasa from "Attack on Titans". Muffin and I would probably be more into cosplaying if we still watched anime but when I was younger I use to watch Sailor Moon and Pokemon lol thats about it.
After Muffin and I got bored cosplaying we went next door to Hot Import Nights to look at cars. We were definitely awake and refreshed once we got in HIN. Hot Import Nights (HIN) which is a carshow that displays the hottest decked out most expensive cars from houston and around. HIN is basically a guys dream. There are hot cars and hot models clad in lingerie posing with cars. Wished I had taken more pictures of all the sexy models but I was too distracted! Haha >.<

LIQUID GOLD 4 CUSHIES!
Hello Cushies! If you guys are going through recovery, preparing to operate, or just super dry skinned. I found the holy grail lotion!
During my first month of recovery, I was not prepared about getting the itchy dry skin. I read all Cushies have the terrible itchy dry skin all over but of course I didn't think it would be that bad. Then one night I woke up in the middle of night and was so itchy I kept scratching myself and it did not help the burning sensation, if anything scratching irritated it more. I could not sleep and was so upset it felt like a allergic reaction. The next morning I looked and noticed I had patches of scaly stuff on the tops of my arm and the side of my backs. In time it got worse I noticed a strange texture to my skin almost like bumpy chicken skin. I researched what was going on with me and it seems like this is a common problem during recovery. So I started putting lotion on my skin and it seemed to help the itching however the lotion seemed to just sit on top of my scaly dry skin. So I tried different lotions but none of them seemed to penetrate deep in the skin for lasting relief. Then I just tried some lotions that were very thick and felt sticky all the time.
That was until I discovered Borage Therapy Lotion. OMG this is my holy grail lotion. I am so excited about it. I have to share the liquid gold. This lotion is the best lotion i've ever used. It absorbs quickly, penetrates deep layers in the skin, not sticky, fragrance free and gets rid of the dry scaly goose bumpy skin. It has a yellow color to it and a nice texture The smell kind of reminds me of cooked oatmeal. It does have oatmeal and borage oil as the main ingredients I think. Disclaimer: pleas check ingredients to see if you are sensitive or allergic to ingredients!
I got this one at vitaminshoppe in store. but they sell it on amazon for bulk packs and individual. This one was 12.99 but I used a coupon for half off. I would still pay full price for this stuff. My muffin recently complimented how smooth my skin was and kept touching my arms haha I love it!
