Skin Care and Health Blog
Welcome to My Journey
I started this journey a few years ago when I first developed hormonal and cystic acne. I feel as though I went about treating my acne all wrong. I have been relying on harsh chemicals and prescriptions, all of which are band aides to the core issue - where is my acne stemming from and how do I permanently fix it?
​
The past two years have been very tough on my body. I have been in and out of the hospital with curious illness which could not be diagnosed and skin issues ranging from acne, eczema, and Pityriasis Rosea.
​
My skin is not perfect, I'm still working towards a solution but I want to share my journey has I start taking steps towards a more natural health care regiment.
About Me
I was born and raised in the great city of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. I am one of four girls in my family and I fall in the middle. My family has been incredibly supportive of me as I battle my acne, but one of my older sisters turned me onto the idea of holistic medicines and healing. That girl has perfect skin so I'll drink whatever kool-aid she is mixing up.
​
After I graduated college (Hail to Pitt) I moved to Hershey, PA to start my job with The Hershey Company. I'm 100% sure being surrounded by chocolate is not great for my health or this journey I'm attempting to embark on. My stress level is high and I do attribute some of my new nasty breakouts to that.
​
When I'm not having fun with chocolate, I love to be outdoors, traveling, and drinking good beer. Again, pretty sure beer isn't good for my acne but it is sure good for my soul!
I'm here because I read all sorts of blogs about skin care and health regimens so why not join in the fun. The knowledge I've gained over the years, all the do's and don'ts, can maybe help someone skip the intermediate phases and get right into feel more confident.
