Hello there bbs

I've been trying to sign up for this LJ messenger thing for 4 days and every time I try it just e-mails me and tells me there was an error Frustrating. Any of you getting it to work? (Or maybe I'm the only one who has tried)

Not a whole lot has been going on with my life lately, mostly just working.. doing translating (slowly), exercising, spending time with Lotion, and... playing a little WoW here and there.

It's been... peaceful here, I suppose

Anyway, I wanted to ask those of you who are interested in beauty/skin cosmetics some advice

I take pretty good care of my skin, and usually have no issues... not a whole lot of pimples/zits or redness, but I think my last semester of school kind of killed my face and the residual effects are still there. I've got greasy LOOKING bumps on my nose/near my nose, from what I understand that's normally where that kind of thing occurs... but I've been trying to get rid of it for the past 3 months with no avail. I usually use the Clearasil Daily Face Cleansing Wash and after a while and seeing no results in my problem area I went out and tried a Clean & Clear morning scrub (with no acne treatment stuff in it, just supposed to make your skin smooth).

I used it as directed, but saw no results, so I went out and got an exfoliant.. St. Ive's Apricot Scrub, and used that as directed, gently. This one had some acne treatment in it, which I've never used before.

Well, it only seemed to make my problem areas worse and give me MORE pimples and redness... ugh. So I started using the Clean & Clear again instead, and that seemed to make it worse again. Now I'm back to just the Clearasil daily face wash, but still no changes!!

What do you guys think I should do?? I can't seem to get rid of this stupid stuff, and I just want it to go away I don't use foundation or make up or anything in the area that is having issues.. if I wear any make up it's just a little eye make up.

Secondly I realize that I haven't really been posting my Japanese journals here as much as I used to and I'd like to remedy that

昨日の夜は彼氏が友達とUFCを観に行きました。「1人になってほしくないから友達と遊んでね」と言ってくれたので近所に住んでいる友達を連絡してちょっと家に遊びに行ってきました。

彼女も嵐のファンなので嵐のコンサートDVDを見ようと言って楽しくワクワクしながら観ました。

だけどアメリカのファンにはちょっと変な習慣があります。
日本にもこれをやるのだろうかと最近考えています。

何かを見るとメンバーを茶化します。
誤解しないで下さい。
嵐が大好きでそれぞれのメンバーも魅力的で大好きだけど...
なんか嵐自身が自分のことを茶化すと思いますので、
私たちも茶化します。
本物のファンとしては変でしょうか...？

「松潤が変な顔をしてる！見て見て！」とか「あの衣装は翔にすごく合わねぇ～」ということになります。

茶化しても相変わらず大好きです。
変な嵐が一番好きなんです。

日本ではそういうことをやりますか？
正直言って、そういうことをしたら怒られます。

皆さんはどう思いますか？

And this week's vlog!

Oh, exciting news, though... I was invited to the YouTube Partnership program!! *THIS IS SO COOL~*

hey eggchan, I read your post and thought since I work in the beauty industry Id give you some of my experience with face care products. My skin its more combination type skin but occasionally ill have really bad break outs and my skin goes crazy and oily (not fun :( ) Anyways mostly I just use a gentle aloe cleanser for my skin cuz its kinda sensitive but when I have a breakout I switch to using the Tea Tree line from The Body Shop (natural and no harsh chemicals :D). I use the oil as a spot treatment, a foaming facial wash (which is gentler then a gel) and a quick swipe of toner and then a clearing lotion, and occasionally an exfoliator ( which I only use 2-3 x a week). Sometimes it does take a little time before my skin clears up (occasionally it seems worse before its better) but then its nice and clear and I can go back to my regular cleansing routine so as not to over dry out my skin. In the past Ive tried almost all of the Clean and clear products I think but they always made my sensitive skin worse. Anyways sorry this was waaay long but i wanted to give you all the info I had, all just in my opinion of course!! good luck :) ps. drink lots of water and watch lots of arashi vids...thats helps too ;)
