What are you thankful for?

Hi Boston & Main Readers!

It's a week before Thanksgiving and if you haven't begun to think about what you're thankful for, you better start. On a deep level I am thankful for my family, my health, having a wonderful roof over my head, good friends, etc...on a more superficial level, I am thankful for my skin!!!!

Today, after canceling and rescheduling, and convincing myself I wouldn't have to go, I went to my Dermatologist. It's very hard to take skincare advice from someone else when you often are giving it. I unfortunately had begun to develop some scar or mark from a pimple which had popped on it's own (I don't like to pop pimples) and I was worried I'd have a mark there forever. 

So my Derm walks in and within seconds is convinced, "you have cystic acne." Well I have news for you, you're wrong, I don't, next question please. Turns out, I was correct, and I don't have cystic acne but regardless it got me to thinking, wow, you're freaking over one mark, be thankful you've never had a big pimple problem in life.

I see so many struggle and am very fortunate that I was blessed with good skin which I just maintain. So he perscribed some ointments to try to make the scarring go down and I'll keep you all posted.

Meantime, my big investment this season (whether my Husband buys it for me or not is the question) will be the La Mer soft cream. It is too yummy to not use and I think I save so much not doing injectables that what's a few hundred dollars for a cream.

I have recently begun using SO many new products which I'll blog about at a later date but for tonight, I wanted to use this time to let you all know that I do not for one moment take my skin for granted. I am utterly thankful for it.

xoxo
