Much Ado about...
I am having an outbreak of pimples and I have absolutely no clue why. Am I using a good face wash? A good toner? A good moisturizer that isn’t oil-based?
Ok, to be fair, it isn’t really an outbreak... but well, there are TWO right now. When these two disappear, it will be replaced by two more.
S suggests it’s the food. I am eating oily food, she says. But I’ve eaten this food all my life, so I don’t see why my body should choose to revolt NOW.
I think it’s my hair. My hair is now in that in-between stage when it really doesn’t know which side of the fence it belongs to…. straight or curly? Short or long? It can’t decide, so I now have wavy hair that flies all over the place and all over my face. It’s too short to be tied up and too long to be left loose and clipping it or using a ‘headband’ makes me look like I jumped out of kindergarten, so that’s ruled out too. My theory is that my face is allergic to my hair. But nobody else seems in favour of that view.
Mom has asked me to fix an appointment with the doc cos she’s sure that as soon as this goes another will magically pop out. And that the one that’s just gone will leave a scar! Ugh!!! Sis tells me it could be mosquito bites that progressively became pimples. Duh? Theory of evolution happening on my face?
Hitherto, I’ve been pretty clear-skinned. But this…. this is a disease! Oh dear. I can’t bear to look at my face. Wish God would just Photoshop my face like NOW! NOW! NOW!
Oh, S also thinks it could be stress. She’s not the only one in favour of that. Though what I am stressed about, I simply cannot imagine. The only stress in my life right now is that I’ll have to return the book I took from the library on the coming Thursday and I still have about 1000 pages more to go. Apart from that, absolutely no stress.
I think, maybe, my body is trying to tell me something, trying to get my attention. But what it’s trying to tell me is beyond me.
Anyways, today-- Monday, the 10th of October-- marks the beginning of my ‘de-tox’ plan. Muesli, fruits and coffee for breakfast, meat-less lunch and veggie soup at night will be my regimen for the remainder of the month. Also Safi. Also Multivitamin tabs. Also Nutralite.
