[Doxycycline+ Tretinoin Progress] 3rd Night of Tretinoin and On My Road to Kpop Star Skin!



Oily: that’s the word of the day~ woke up suuuuper oily, even my bangs were greasy.  Wednesday (15th) night was my 3rd night of Tretinoin, and 2nd time of putting it straight on my face and follow up with cerave cream right away. I woke up with super oily face and bang…. The area around my nose is getting a bit red, this happened last time too, hope that isn’t going to be getting out of hand.


I’ve noticed that my skin starts to peel if I am not moisturized enough. I deal with that by rubbing my face when my face is almost drying and then rinse the dead skin off and then moisturize.


My skin has been significantly better; it looks a lot clear, clear with a tad of red undertone shining through, like Korean pop star skin. I still got a few active spots but they are alot better. Of course I got tons of hyper pigmentation still that will be getting better as I keep integrating Tretinoin slowly and using sunscreen! There is a light at the end of the tunnel!!!


I’ve been getting more adventurous!! SO!! I’ve decided to do  Tretinoin every 4 nights. The next time is going to be the 20th and then on the 25th.

[Oh Yum!] Trader Joe's the Dark Chocolate Lover's Chocolate Bar



Ok! Honest circle time; I’ve been eating this non-stop for the past 3 days, I managed to finish both bars in 3 days….. NO REGRETS!


If you are a dark chocoholic, then this is your cup of tea. I went to the Trader Joe’s after the gym on Saturday (BTW, bad decision, don’t ever go to the grocery store after the gym, you will end up buying everything, like I did…), upon checkout, this was strategically placed right in front of my eyeballs when I was saying hi to the cashier. So I just tossed it into my pile.


This thing is fully packed with antioxidant!! According to Taubert's study, people who ate dark chocolate have a lower blood presser than people who eats milk chocolate.

 I love the little Hawaiian flower that are imprint on the chocolate.  

So if you are ready to join the dark side, pick this one up next time when you are at TJ’s.
