WHY LAWD!!!!!!!?

Alright yawl, last year around December I had some tooth trouble , so I go to the dentist and he does his dentist thang and then gave me some antibiotics. Over the course of the 16 day treatment I take my prescription with no problem and then BOOM! It hits me like a mac truck! A dang yeast infection, like any other sistah I mosey on down to my local drug store to retrieve some over the counter drugs to bring some relief to my sad situation. I get to the feminine needs isle only to find one hundred and fifty two products for yeast infections. One day treatments? Naw sounds too good to be true. Three day? Naw....Lemmie go on a get that 7 day joint just to be safe.*One Month later* I find myself in my OBGYNS office acting the fool because my sunshine is burning like hell and nothing is working! All she's doing is giving me the same meds over and over again to treat the same yeast infection that keeps coming back! Errrrrrrrrrrrrggggggg!
I find myself becoming more and more depressed because my doctor is telling me the same ole tired rap and I'm still walking around with gasoline draws on. *Literally*. After a while I feel like I hit rock bottom and start a search online for all possible causes of a yeast infection this fierce and found out that the culprit that started this forest fire were those dang antibiotics! I was so HOT! This means I've been walking around in agony, going back and forth to my OBGYN (her ass knew what kinda antibiotics I was on and aint say nothing!) and this is the reason why?

Ladies be very careful of what you let these doctors give you because all they will do is continue to pump you full of costly drugs that wont help your or make your situation worse. All these damn people had to tell me was to take some kinda pro biotic after I was done with my anti biotic but NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! They just wanted to try and kill me while running my poor insurance into the ground! This is very important ladies, a long standing yeast infection can KILL YOU or at the least make you very sick and you wont even know why. What the doctors don't tell you is that yeast grows in your digestive tract as well as your vagina. Even if you get rid of the symptoms that doesn't mean that the over growth of yeast is not still present in your vagina and other parts of your body.

Take the extra effort to try and (Gently!!) cleanse your colon and digestive track once a year. After you do your colon cleanse take a pro biotic like Lactobacillus acidophilus. Lactobacillus acidophilus is a bacteria that is already present in your vagina and your digestive tract. These good bacteria help to protect your vagina and digestive tract from unhealthy organisms and the over growth of yeast. When an antibiotic is taken it kills off some of the good bacteria in your digestive tract and vagina which leaves room for the yeast to multiply (overgrowth). L.acidophilus also consumes many of the nutrients other bad microorganisms need survive.

What to do if you feel a yeast infection coming on?

Run out a get some Lactobacillus acidophilus! Don't buy anything less than 3billion live cells per capsule. Take 3 a day with a meal and you'll feel better in no time! For relief from the symptoms you can start by taking two golden seal root pills 3 time on the first day with a meal, then the second day take your L.acidophilus!

OR

You can take two Olive leaf extract pills with breakfast and two with lunch and before bed take your 2 capsules at 3billion cultures each of L.Acidophilus before bedtime.

One cup of apple cider vinegar to a hot waist deep bath helps.

Slather some unsweetened organic yogurt on a pad and wear it for an hour. The cold from the yogurt on your vulva and the L.acidophilus present in the yogurt help sooth the vulva.

you can also insert a clove or garlic into your vagina. The best way to go it is to peel it smash it and wrap it up in some cheese cloth with a string tied around the opening. Insert the wrapped garlic with the string out ( Like a tampon string). Leave it in over night and you'll be good to go in the morning. I would suggest doing this until you feel better.Three to five days. Hope this helps someone!

Murad update

Murad did my skin well until it broke me out in tiny heat rash looking bumps
all around my mouth and chin. After they finally dried up it made me look like
A man with a five o'clock shadow! Sheesh! What does a sistah gotta do to get some
great skin care around here!?!?!?!?!? So as a result of that experience I've been on my pure African black soap and Shea butter and it's been cool. Does absolutely nothing for my clogged pores but I'm cool for now. Still doing well with my no soda rule. Even though I've had a few slip ups (That stuff is like CRACK!) I've been doing well. As for my stress level....It's still a bit on the high side but I'm pulling through it.....Night yawl.

Grease face!

I'm tired of walking around lookin like I dipped my face in fish grease!!!!!!!!

Beautiful skin inside out.

What most people don't realize {my black ass} is the beautiful skin starts with your overall health. Believe it or not, your skin hair and nails are all a reflection of your overall health; not just what kind of conditioner or facial scrub your use. Keep in mind that what we put on our hair, face, and nails have a huge effect on what they look like and their health. But if you want to have strong shiny locks, beautiful clear radiant skin, and strong nails you must maintain a good diet and a fit body.

This is the reason for my new diet. I cut the soda out completely, i'm done with the fried foods and candy { My precious candy!} Yes I am heart broken about this whole decision but I do know that three months down the line when I start to see results I'll be happier than any chicken wing or grape soda could ever make me! {or oreo ice cream sandwich or KFC or chili cheese fries or cheese pizza or fried catfish hot cheetoes or a ice cold .50 soda on a hot summer day or two corn dogs from hot dog on a stick or a deep fried hotlink with BBQ sauce of nachos with the works or el pollo loco taquetos of Campose cheese enchaladas with extra cheese on top or a king size snickers ice cream bar ETC}

So this is my goodbye to all the amazingly delicious artery clogging, pore clogging , acne enabling foods. We've had some great times together. So don't feel bad when we see each other in the snack isle and I don't speak. This is whats best for us.

SPF 85

I'm sure all my sistas can relate . You go down to your local department/makeup store and purchase high end foundation. It's off the hook! Full coverage, blends well, SPF 15, and doesn't clog your pores. Then you go to apply your makeup one morning and BAM! It hits you like a mac truck! Your skin has gotten two or more shades darker.

What the hell? A sun tan? Well what the hell was the SPF 15 for? doesn't the SPF prevent my skin from getting darker? The answer is.......HELLNAW!



That little punk ass SPF 15 is not going to fully protect your skin. Everyone should use an SPF of 50 or higher. I would recommend Neutrogena Ultrasheer dry touch sunblock under your foundation. The truth is ladies, the only way to prevent getting an unwarned sun tan is to stay the hell out of the sun. If you can't avoid staying out of the sun then make sure you take the steps to cover your skin.Wear large rimmed hats that cover your face and carry a stylish umbrella to shield your skin from the sun.

Remember to always wear sun block or sun screen. Reapply sun screen or sun block every couple of hours just to be sure. We all need to come to gripps with the fact that we all might just have to go out and buy a darker foundation for the summer. this some ole bullshit.

Rainbow Fruit Salad Anyone?

Sometimes I feel lost

Sometimes I feel lost, in the society we live in everything has to have a label. If it is something we don't understand we label it and then tear it down. The American History is based on just that. Tearing down what we cannot understand. ~Sucks

Did I mention?

That I would rather perform home surgery on myself with a rusted tin can than ever use Proactive or Skin Tight again?

DISCLAIMER!
I AM IN NO WAY SHAPE OR FORM DISCOURAGING THE USE OF PROACTIVE SOLUTION OR SKINTIGHT. I AM SIMPLY SHARING MY INVALID OPINION WITH WHOMEVER IS BORED ENOUGH TO ACTUALLY READ THIS.

Left some stuff out!

I also ended up trying a product called Skin Tight which is traditionally used for shaving bumps but was said to work wonders for clogged pores and oily skin! Well....Ummmm. It worked but it burned like the dickens! Did I just fuckin say "The dickens?" WTF is wrong with me? It worked like a charm but felt like someone started a gasoline fire under my skin!

Untrue blogger!

Yes yes I know. "Where the Fluff have you been?" Well as you can see I'm an untrue blogger! I've been busy with school and moving into my new place. Now all that is left for me to do is find a damn job! Anywho! I was walking through my new local mall and spotted a Proactive Solution cart thingy and decided to give it a whirl. At that time my skin wasn't too bad, I had clogged pores in the "T Zone" but that was about it.

My real problem started about two days after making proactive my new skincare protector. My chin broke out in huge painful bumps. I have a small face so you can just imagine what my tiny chin looked like with four large zits on it. There were two zits on each side of my chin, then those zits had zits under them. "Hey yo Fee....That shit on yo chin got some shit on it's chin!" IT WAS HORRIBLE! Each zit had four heads!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! FOUR HEADS! That is a total of about 12 zit heads on one tiny chin.
Of course I fired Proactive as my skincare protector and promised myself that I would continue to drink plenty of water and take my vitamins. I kept that promise until I stumbled upon my friendly neighborhood Sephora and found a product called Murad for only $35.00. I figured that if it didn't work it wouldn't be that big of a loss at $35.00 "And yes this is coming from the unemployed one."
To make this already long story short I got the skincare booty home and tried it out. Within 3 days the Murad had began to reverse the damage done by the Proactive. "I was in love!" but I didn't wanna fall too fast so I gave it another week and a half before I officially made it my new skincare protector!

DISCLAIMER!
I am in no way discouraging the use of Proactive Solution. I am simply documenting my experience with said product.

Fast Results

After doing my new skin care regimen for two days now I'm already seeing results. My skin is softer to the touch and has a softer and smoother look. The clogged pores on the tip of my nose are almost gone. I'm happy with the way this new regimen is working for my skin. I now have a facial steamer and I'm going to use it tonight. I'm hoping it opens up the pores on my cheek so that the Sea Breeze can get deep into the pores and do it's job better.
