5 Ways My Black Won’t Crack!

September 22, 2018 by Alisha 7 Comments

Unless you’ve been living under a rock there’s an old saying of “Black Don’t Crack”.  While this may be true in most cases, if you don’t take care of your mind, body and soul you’ll end up looking a hot ratchet mess!  I for one am not about that life and would like to keep looking “29” LOL  It wasn’t until I reached my 40s before I finally found a perfect combination of things to help me look and feel younger!  Now my knees on the other hand haven’t caught on to that but hopefully they’ll catch on soon!

I’ve also learned that the price of a product doesn’t necessarily mean its going to work the best.  Many of the items I use are over the counter and I splurge on a few products that I know will do what they promise and more.

1 | Maintain a Good Skin Care Regimen

I like to keep my skin care regimen very simple.  My dad is knocking on 80 and I swear that man doesn’t have ONE SINGLE WRINKLE!  And my mom also keeps her regimen simple and has been using Ponds Cold Cream since I was a teenager.  My skin however is very oily and it took what seems like years before I finally figured out a good combination.  I use Bioré® Deep Pore Charcoal Cleanser with my face brush, follow that with a hyaluronic acid serum with vitamin C and Garnier Moisture Rescue Refreshing Gel Cream.  I’ve been dealing with my face looking like I smeared chicken grease on it toward the middle of the day and JUST learned about gel moisturizers.  And once a week I’ll use my charcoal face mask from KJ Naturals.  I’m also wanting to incorporate treating myself to monthly facials.  😉

OCM oil cleansing method

I was talking with a friend the one day about skin care and I asked her “You want me to clean my face with oil?” At first I was like how much sense does it make to clean my face with oil when it’s already oily!

Preparing to See A Dermatologist: Vitiligo

October 14, 2015 by Alisha 4 Comments

Last year when my daughter Morgan developed vitiligo I discussed it with her pediatrician and we were referred to see a dermatologist.  The main sign of vitiligo is color (pigment) loss that produces light or white patches on your skin.  Usually, the discoloration first shows on sun-exposed areas, such as the hands, feet, arms, face and lips.  The doctor was fairly nonchalant about the condition and prescribed a topical cream and to return in 6 weeks.  That cream and time seeing that doctor was a complete waste of time, energy and money.  In fact, after those 6 weeks it seemed like the white spots turned into patches and just gradually got bigger and bigger.  What was even more frustrating was that I learned more about vitiligo from google than I did from either doctor.

Since then we’ve switched pediatricians and our new one feels pretty confident that will get some answers and possibly slow the progression of her vitiligo after seeing a new pediatric dermatologist.  Right now her hands, elbows, feet and knees are almost completely white and the areas around her eyes and corners of her mouth.  This time around I’m better prepared on questions to ask and wanted to share how we’re preparing for this visit.

Don’t hesitate to ask your doctor anything about your condition.  Some basic questions to consider include: [Read more…]
