Leaf me Alone - Fall leftover craft idea.

If you're like me at all you probably force yourself to like fall. Every year you force yourself to get hyped for a season of colors on usually green trees, lots of pumpkin spice, and two holidays that both get worse with age.

So who wants to just waste that money you used to get those seasonal decorations and supplies? I hate wasting money, so not me.

Lets start off with the basics, we're going to be making a simple placard with a suitable statement for this season.

Since this really is a "use anything you have left" kind of project, you really can just use anything you have left.

Fall Checkup For Me

Smoober goobers

October (Fall+Halloween) 8track!

It's my favorite time of year! Sadly because of tons of personal stuff, again, I'm not blogging all of my amazing halloween adventures. Trust me though they're pretty amazing!

Here's my fall 2k14 playlist from 8tracks.com. I've never done one of these so I'm going to link it here as well as embed it. Enjoy what I'm listening to again this season!

Why you should reconsider using micro beaded soap

I've been a "big" fan of water life since I was tiny. Besides taking part in several movements to stop multiple environmental problems I recently started taking part in a new movement about the small little beads popular in face care products.

Microbeads are the small, tiny little plastic beads inside of face soaps. They're suppose to give an exfoliating effect but they've ended up causing a problem. Microbeads are very small and manage to slip through the water treatment facilities. That means they pour into the Great Lakes of the US and the ocean. The great lakes contain 20% of the world's fresh water supply and are being polluted by them.

Using ACV for Acne (part 2 - follow up!)

My face is slightly less covered in red mountains, but that's not because of the ACV...

Long story short time. I ended up going to the dermatologist because of how painful they were and he prescribed me medication. Before then the smell of ACV was getting a bit too-too much for me to handle. I was getting very little results of just slight redness reduction.

I'm going to say that the people who had ACV work for them were people with mild acne that was not caused by hormones. It makes sense that the chemicals inside of ACV would help your acne and help your skin cells but if you were like me with hormone caused acne I'd say forget it and don't waste the money.

Going to the dermatologist, though, was such a great decision! I got in very quickly and the doctor helped me right away. I'm on epiduo and two prescription medicines right now. Epiduo is drying out my skin really bad but that's apparently just a side effect that'll go away soon, so I'm not complaining too much.

So - the final verdict is no, AVC did not help my acne.

Edit: also, the dryness went away very very quickly and I got amazing results in general with the prescription medication and epiduo. I do not suggest AVC for skin like mine.
