Flipping through the allure mag...
So I was flipping through my allure magazine for this month and I came across this cover girl add with a flap. "oooo I love flap thingys" I thought. When I opened it I came across these amazing lipstick duos!!!! You can make different looks with them and it looks sooo unique and cool. So you can add a personal style to your lips! Yeah, I think this calls for a trip to the drugstore. :)

My computer isn't working...
Yes, that's right. It's not working right now, that's why I was not able to do the outfit of the day. So I'm just using my iPhone for this right now. But as soon as I get my Internet working again then I will have one up.

Sick of Sunspots?
Yes, i admit it! I used to have a problem with sunspots. They can be embarassing and unwanted, so I am going to share with you prevention and treatment. If you don't know what sunspots are they look like this:
Cause:
There is a fungal infection called Tinea Versicolor and it creates white, pink, brown, or tan spots like you see above. These spots can grow overtime and then thats when it becomes noticable. What causes the fungus is greasy skin, hot/humid weather, alot of sweating and imbalanced hormones. There are other types of sunspots, but this is what I have experience with and I want to share with you prevention and treatment.
Prevention:
If you go to a doctor, he/she will be able to prescibe you a wash to prevent it. You would use this occasionally. Also make sure you stay clean and take showers after sweating, like after a sport or workout. Also drink tons of water! This is very important to ALWAYS stay hydrated!
Treatment:
There are many treatments, but I used Selsun Blue which you can buy at stores in the U.S. This is a dandruff shampoo but it really works! The kind of selsun blue that i used was the medicated kind. What you do is you spread it on like a lotion, where ever you have the spots. You put it on at night and sleep with it on and in the morning you rinse it off. You would repeat this every day for one month and then like 4 or 5 times a month after that. My sunspots went away before that but some take more time. Like for example, one time i had sunspots on my chest and after 3 days it was gone. I would also reccomend washing the area with it when taking a shower. When your skin starts getting dry or ashy, put some body lotion on the area and wait a couple of days before doing it again.

BEFORE YOU TRY THIS MAKE SURE YOU HAVE NO ALLERGYS TO IT. CONSULT A DOCTOR. JUST TO BE SAFE.
You can also go to the dermatologist and he/she can perscribe a medication to put on it. They now offer a laser treatment as well. But I think Selsun Blue is a cheaper option.
Other treatments:
- Microdermabrasion
- Chemical peels
- PhotoFacials
