Say Yes to the Dress

Mormon girl on Say Yes to the Dress! YES! I absolutely love the dress. I heart lace! I'm so glad she tried this on because after stalking it, I know who designed it and how much it costs. I am going to need it for my wedding! ;) Legit, I am obsessed with this dress. It has everything I want!

Then she altered it with lace sleeves and a champagne sash. Heaven!




Then she tried on a champagne gown that was oh so swoon worthy!
More wedding posts to come... XOXO

The never ending torment I call ACNE



So after suffering through countless zits and embarrassments while away at school, I went to the dermatologist as soon as I got back into town. I mean like 3 days after people. No messing around here! I tell the nice lady all of my woes and hardships of life( okay so just about my acne) and so she proceeded to look through my whole medical record they have on file at the office. Lets just say I have been going there SINCE 2007 AND MY ACNE IS STILL HERE. Okay, whew that felt good, i'm done with the caps lock for now. She counts up every cream, pill, drug, face wash, gel, that I have ever used and let me tell ya the number is like 2149862538. She blabs on about how acne sucks and it is a hard thing in life...and she has perfect skin. What is wrong with this picture!? I kind of wanted to punch her. Does it seem unreasonable to you that I have been going to this stupid place for FOUR years and they can't give me something to get rid of this crap?! For those who have been on Accutane you think that this is the end all be all. It is supposed to clear up your skin for good...it is like a last resort type of thing. And it DID clear up my skin - and man was I loving life!! But I had SO many side effects that my mom said nu uh to a second round of the stuff.

Anywho, after talking about new options( like a laser treatment that I am going to get later) she prescribes me this cream and a pill. The pill is a steriod that is supposed to reduce inflammation so i'm like okay i'm gonna get SWOLL and this will be awesome! She quickly corrected me and said wrong type of steriod. Whatever lady! BUT here are the complaints with this new stupid pill:
1) You only take it two weeks out of the month. Um, how is that supposed to help!?
2) My acne looks the same- probably worse.
3) I was looking it up on Google and reading the side effects(gotta stay informed) and - get this- a possible side effect for the ACNE medication I am taking is ACNE. HOW IS THAT SUPPOSED TO HELP ME!?

I hate my life.
