Product recommendations! Things that Madison Mitchell LOVES!

7 Comments

Hello World! I hope everyone is well. I wanted to kind of change up some things in here a little bit and write an entry where it focuses on some products that I have come to love that have helped change my life. I don’t mean to be dramatic but when your self esteem is more positive your life just seems to work a whole lot better.

Recently I finally was able to get health insurance. I know that it seems like such a small thing to be stoked about but when you have to pay 150-300 dollars for an office visit and then medication.. Shit, you become really stoked with something as simple as health insurance. The first day my health insurance was active I made an appointment with a dermatologist I found on Yelp! (Yes, a dermatologist. I have been suffering from moderate acne for the last 2 years. It fucking sucks.) The name? Dr. Douglas Hamilton M.D. . I have only seen one dermatologist before and he gave me Retin A for my acne. It just gave me this insane chemical burn. I hated using it. So naturally I was a little resistant to go see another doctor especially since that Rentin A cost me 80.00 dollars and I still have a full bottle in the bathroom. That shit sucks so bad I think about putting it on peoples faces that I hate so it burns their faces too! >:( Moving on… After I finished filling out all of the tedious paper work I went into my room awaiting Dr. Hamilton’s arrival. Once he came in the room he asked me about my problem. I told him and his intern (who was mildly attractive in the Jewish you’re going to be a dermatologist soon and completely loaded and so that makes you more attractive to my wallet which is located in my pants but I mean my vagina kind of attractive.) that the problem was I had started getting acne about 2 years ago. I explained that prior to that I never had any issues with my skin. I never did anything special to take care of my skin before. I washed my face with whatever shit I had in the shower. I never wore makeup. Girls used to envy my skin and tell me how amazing it was and how they wish they were born with my perfect Italian skin. Then 2 years ago I just started exploding with break outs. It got bad all over… on my chest.. on my face… on my back.. sometimes even on my scalp. I explained to Dr. Hamilton that it not only was painful and took forever to heal but it was really effecting the way I looked at myself. For the first time in my life I could not leave my house without makeup on because I was too embarrassed for people to see my acne and my dark spots where past acne was. The awesome thing was that he didn’t just give me medication and sent me on my way. He actually explained to me some causes of acne and what I was doing wrong and different solutions and WHY he was giving me the medication he was giving me and what else we will be doing in this on-going process to solve my issues. He told me that scientists don’t know a whole lot about acne and why it happens to some people exactly at 24 like it happened to me. He said that diet does not play a role in acne at all. He explained to me what acne was… which is fucking gross… But he didn’t say that. I did. So he asked me what I was doing to care for my skin before I had come to him. I explained to him my regiment. I used an all natural fruit oil vitamin a, e, and d cleanser. I used an alcohol free aloe based toner and cetaphil face lotion with two drops of jojoba oil. (I have SUPER dry skin and jojoba oil is amazing for your skin and acne as well.) I used to also use a scrub every other day with my clarisonic face brush. He told me my first problem was that I was doing way too much stuff to my face and I was irritating it which would also make me break out more. (Go figure!) He recommended a face wash to me that he sold inside of his office for a cheaper than retail price…. Behold all that is this amazing cleanser! Neova Herbal Wash made by ProCyte!!!

Secondly, he said he would like me to use a different moisturizer at night time in addition to my cetaphil and jojoba oil. It was formulated and made by Dr. Hamilton for his patients. It’s called “Ultra Lite Moisture Dew.”

In addition to those two being the ONLY THINGS I did to take care of my face I was also give 3 prescriptions. I was so skeptical when he said I was to only do that. AND to wash my face I used JUST MY HANDS for 15 seconds then use tons of water to rise with not too hot, but warmer. He said if my face broke out I could use a hot wash cloth and put it on the affected area to steam it. I’m telling you I was like… Man this is a waste of time. No way in hell this is going to work. . .

The prescriptions I was given were:

Acanya gel.

I was to apply that in the morning after 20 minutes after I washed my face. Then 20 minutes after that I could moisturize.

Next, I was given something I had heard about on TV but never used…

Differin gel 0.3%

The last step to my process of healing my face and body was for oral use… (Heh, Oral.)

Oracea 40MG Once Daily 20 minutes before food intake with one glass of water. #FML

Dr. Hamilton suggested this because it not only helps with acne from the inside out but it also helps people with rosacea. Which P.S. I totally have. I’ve always had these red undertones on my face my whole life. Who knew there was a cure for that. I just thought I was red all the time because that’s just how I was. Whoops. I mean I knew rosacea was a real thing… But, I didn’t know what it looked like in a mild case. I had always seen the most extreme cases.

Finally, Dr. Hamilton said I need to discontinue using the MAC makeup I grew to love and switch to a mineral makeup. If I was going to be in the house I would have to not wear anything and let my skin breathe. I didn’t really like when he said that and I said.. NO I NEED SOMETHING THAT COVERS THIS SHIT OR I LOOK LIKE A MONSTER! He laughed. When I was in the office I was pretty broken out. It was bad. I thought it was because I got that clean and clear black head eraser which made my blackheads on my nose disappear but then like 1 week later I got huge zits all over my face and they all turned into scabs and hurt really bad. My back was broken out too! It was disgusting and super painful. I followed his regiment suggested even though I had serious doubts. After the first night of use I had awoken the next morning to a face and back that was DRAMATICALLY clearer. I was amazed. My skin was drying out very fast though. On the 3rd day I came to work with no makeup on because my face was super dry and I tried to put makeup on but I just had snake face. It really sucked. I took my makeup off and put a shit ton of that moisture dew shit with a shit ton of jojoba oil on… I let it soak in all day. I didn’t wash my face with soap that day either… Just water. I was super embarrassed and when I walked into work I kept my hood up. Someone stopped me and said… “Oh my god.. look how clear your face is.. what are you doing differently?” I kind of smiled and just went on my way. By my 5th day of treatment I had discontinued using both products in one day and kind of switched it up to alternating days. Only because I really have dry and sensitive skin and that shit HURTS! The alternating seemed to really help the dryness. That evening I went over to my friend Ryan’s house and he complimented me on my skin and how much better it looked. He said he felt bad for how broken out I was before that because he used to suffer with acne too… I was kind of glad I didn’t have to feel like a weirdo.. you know acne is kind of embarrassing at least to me.. I wouldn’t wish it upon my worst enemy. It does horrible things to your self esteem and confidence levels.

The last changes I had to make in my skin care were to stop using my good old MAC makeup… Oh boy, I was SOOOO NOT happy about this. I did research every night on what were the best Mineral foundations and powders… and blushes… and primers… All that lady stuff… Ill spare you the details and tell you what I went with…

For a face primer and all around lazy day thing I went with: Philosophy The Supernatural Poreless, Flawless tinted SPF.

I have only two words to review this product… : FUCKING AMAZING!

My Foundation I chose….: Philosophy: The Supernatural airbrushed canvas with SPF 15

Additionally, I got blush from the same line by Philosophy as well as the lipgloss:

When I first put that powder on I was thinking to myself…”This shit better work because for 35 dollars I could have eaten the whole week… I swear Ill kill that god damn doctor if this doesn’t work..”

I put a little dab on a brush and swirled it around my entire face 3 times. I put the brush down and opened my eyes… I looked in the mirror and said to myself..”Holy fucking shit… THIS IS THE BEST KEPT SECRET IN MAKEUP AND SKIN CARE!”

It takes me 15 minutes to get ready now as opposed to the 60 + it took me before. 5 of those 15 minutes are me getting dressed. I’m not even kidding you. This shit doesn’t even feel like its on your face. You literally feel like you have no makeup on and your skin looks FLAWLESS! It was by far worth every fucking penny.

So, that’s it peoples. That’s my review of these things that I love. They are amazing. Dr. Hamilton is amazing… and if you live in Los Angeles he has an office in Beverly Hills and in Woodland Hills. He published a book which I got a copy of called, “Beverly Hills Beauty Secrets by Douglas Hamilton: A Prominent Dermatologist and Plastic Surgeon’s Insider Guide to Facial Rejuvenation.”

Next time I am going to review the AbCircle Pro. That should be fun! We’ll make this a regular thing in my blog… Things I like: Because I am self absorbed. :)

Also, here is a picture of my face with just that powder on it… Just look how amazing it is… :) My face.. Not the makeup.. JUST KIDDING!! ;) Or am I?

Let me tell you about my microcrush on @andre_legacy . . and my week…

5 Comments

I guess by now you all know that I get microcrushes on dudes quite often… So, today, we’ll talk about Andre Legacy.

I took the liberty of obtaining a portion of his biography from some shitty website that I do not care to cite…

At 6′4 (6′6 with afro), the 1/2 Armenian 1/2 Russian ANDRE LEGACY is a Los Angeles native with roots in its ever evolving hip-hop culture.

….. You had me at 6′4! I love tall dudes… but then he has that grimy hip hop/skater dude look… homeless chic is what I like to call it.
Lately, I’ve been really into that song that he was featured in from the movie “The Hang Over.” It features him, Dirt Nasty, and Mickey Avalon. I believe that Cisco Adler and Lil’ Jon Produced it! I am a huge fan of the song…

I particularly like Andre’s solo. I, too can relate to being famous for being opiated and falling asleep at tables… I mean before I quit doing drugs. :D

Anyways, he’s hot. So am I… end of my story. Andre Legacy… If you’re reading this… I have a message for you…

Bitches love the rape.

I’ve had this killer cough now for 2 weeks. First it was this awkward dry cough at night. Since I finally drug my ass into the doctors and got a shot of antibiotics and a RX for Mucinex I just keep coughing and it’s making this terrible sound. :( I kind of just wish it would go away altogether. Ehhh…

I really need to go do laundry and go grocery shopping. I am completely unmotivated today. Last night I hung out with my friend Peter. He made me dinner and we watched, “The Invention of Lying.” It was alright.

I got in a car accident on Friday. That was pretty awesome. I mean I knew I really wanted to do something on Friday so at least I got in an accident! :D

Saturday I got an unexpected phone call from the most beautiful, Ryan. We went to breakfast at Marmalade Cafe and then he left me to go hang out with his friends from work.

I feel like I need some attention with a dude in bed… you know like snuggling and what not . . . I must be about to start my period or something.

On a more positive note… all of the clothes I anticipated would fit me for a while after my recent weight loss do not fit me.. They are all too big on me… I’ve lost even more weight.

Whoops… DONT WORRY I STILL HAVE MY ASS!! BUT! My boobs seem a lot smaller…

Hey, look at me standing in the bathroom at my office!

THATS MY NEW FAVORITE DRESS! ZOMG!!

On that note my dear (s), I need to go start my day. I’ll obviously write a blog later from the laundromat!

PS Listen to the best series of wrong number messages I’ve ever received….

I has a sleepy….

Hello, Interweb Tubes! I knew we would meet again!

So, here I am Saturday afternoon in the laundromat, again. I lead a pretty redundant life. It’s really not that big of a deal. (to me at least.) Since I’ve been a little more stressed out then usual this week my house is kind of not looking as clean as I want it to be. I wanted to force myself to go out this weekend to relieve stress… Unfortunately, my OCD likes to overpower pretty much everything. So, I’ve been cleaning my house all day! :D

Earlier this week I noticed an over abundance of little ants in my house. I had about a 3 day freak out. Pretty much every day I woke up I was in my kitchen killing ants. Also, every day that I came home from anywhere I was killing ants. I literally was freaking out mopping my floors trying to figure out why they were in my house. I am not even kidding you when I tell you I clean everyday! So sudden confusion obviously set in when I saw ants. I am convinced it was just the massive amounts of monsoon like rain that brought them to their demise in my home. However, I am not really concerned that much anymore because I have an exterminator coming over on Tuesday morning. So, if Aidan doesn’t eat them alive… and I don’t spray them with windex and wipe up their little bodies to go in their garbage burial. Well then, the exterminator will take care of it! :D

I started my regular visits to my gym again. It’s been about a month since I was too tired to go. (from overworking mostly and fighting with that dude and my own mind.) I started taking B12 every day and getting shots of it every two weeks which helped a lot with my energy and mood. I also started taking vitamin C and D. Right after Christmas I began not sleeping very well. It was taking its toll on me for sure! You know, not being able to sleep is one of the worst feelings I personally have ever encountered. At least for me, when I can’t sleep my whole body feels like it’s out of whack. I’m tired all day. I don’t do anything because I have no energy to! I am so glad I put a stop to that little routine that tried weaseling it’s way back into my life.

I have lost so much weight not only overall but especially this week. Today when I was trying to get dressed for the day and to go do laundry I tried almost everything that was clean in my closet on. Why? Well, because nothing fucking fit me so I kept tearing it off and trying something else on. I got pissed! Even more so last night when I was supposed to be somewhere at 8pm and I showed up at 8:45pm like, “Sorry I am late. I had a minor freak out due to the fact that nothing fits me the way I want it to. :D.”

GOD DAMMIT! I was just resting my legs on my Ikea laundry bag and I put a little too much pressure on it when I was adjusting my position and it broke! This is my second one I broke! I swear I need to just invest the 7 dollars in a plastic one from Target and call it a day. I think I paid 3 dollars for this. But, seriously! I have a right to be annoyed! I hate spending money! (mostly because I don’t have any.) Maybe someone needs to make a laundry basket that can double as an ottoman too! That would be perfect for people like me who have to go to the laundromat every week and do laundry while writing blogs! (never mind, I think I am the only person who does that.) Whatever, I still think Billy Mays should market one of those. Madison Mitchell’s Ottomanbasket™ (I know what’s up.) Not only am I the president! I am also a member! ©

Yep! It looks like I have 19 more minutes left on my stuff in the dryer. That makes me happy because I am over sitting on this fucking uncomfortable bench. There is this overweight, middle-aged, white trash, Ferrah Faucet wanna-be woman who keeps walking by me and giving me the dirtiest looks. At one point she walked by and rolled her eyes and went… “Ugh.” I looked up with my big puppy eyes and then immediately went from cute to I WILL FUCKING RIP YOUR HEAD OFF AND PISS DOWN YOUR SPINE in the matter of seconds when I realized what she was doing. I wonder why she is so pissed at me. I am not even talking. I am just sitting here typing my little heart away on my pink Macbook Pro. I only stop typing to answer text messages. Perhaps the sound of Mario Bros. One Up! That my phone makes every time I get a text is upsetting her. Maybe she is upset because I am wearing a bikini top under my tank top and I am wearing a ripped to shreds denim skirt and for some reason she is completely offended. Maybe God died and he gave her all of the rights to judging people for him and that’s why she’s acting like a cantankerous bloody gash wound? Who knows!

This bench is incredibly uncomfortable. Perhaps I could suggest that someone open a laundromat that has comfy places to sit with free wifi and maybe beer and/or coffee with cable. I think that then I would probably be more willing and eager to sit inside of a building that I had to fight massive amounts of cars to find a parking spot to enter other than my home for more than an hour. (Run on sentence FTW.) It’s almost 5:00 PM. I have consumed only massive amounts of water, a cup of coffee and a fat free pudding cup. I should probably find and consume some type of nutrition at some point today. Although, it really seems like too much of a hassle.

Oh, my dear sweet Interweb Tube Lurkers/Readers. It is now time that I bid your farewell! One load of laundry is now done drying. Now, I must go fold clothes. I hope you all have a good night! I wish I had something with more of a topic to even write about! I apologize for my randomness!

Behold all that is me doing laundry on a Saturday afternoon. Woo Hoo!

Good fucking GOD! It’s been so long since I’ve had the mental capability to just sit down and write a blog! I’ve had an insane weekend/week. Let me start off by saying that I am not really in the best mood and I really have a ton of stuff to vent and ask all of you advice on. That being said… if you’re here for n00dz. This is NOT the entry you are looking for… SO! Let me recap my week!

Sunday: The guy that I WAS “seeing” decided to tell me that he had sex with some other girl when we were hanging out. I, naturally being as bat shit crazy as I am, flipped the fuck out! But, let me explain why! I am not jealous! No way! This girl in no way even compares to my awesomeness. I am angry because he was always “accusing” me of what in fact he just did! He was always saying I was lying to him and it just turns out that I fought and fought to prove my honesty and faithfulness for what? Mediocre dick at best? SHIT! I GOT SCREWED! NOT LITERALLY GOOD EITHER! The conversation led to me saying I thought he was the shittiest person in the world and to never speak to me again. Why? BECAUSE YOU DIDN’T NEED TO FUCKING LIE TO ME! I said if you want to fuck other people then do it! Just don’t ask me to do something (i.e. not sleep with other people and accuse me of doing so. if you’re doing the same damn thing!)

Monday: Ignored dude at work (Yes we work together. No, not like Pam and Jim. More like Angela and Dwight. EW no… More like… Aidan and Carrie. You know what I mean, ladies? It seemed REALLY awesome at first… but then in the end you kind of just really knew deep down inside he was not THE ONE!?) After work, still in terrible mood. . . I decide… “Self… Get your ass to the gym and work off some of this steam.” Even though I went that morning. I was still determined to go back! Get to the gym in the monsoon. I roll down my window to get a parking ticket. BAM. My car window won’t roll back up! (Remember the monsoon like storm I’ve been talking about all week? Yep.) Drive home… I kick my car door about 5 times. I scream. I cry. I whine. My battery in my car died now. YEP! Got my car fixed….

Tuesday: Nothing was wrong with Tuesday. I got to lay in bed almost all night with one of the most handsome and adorable men I have ever encountered in my life… he also wears very soft sweaters.

Weds.: Have talk with the other dude… Then I fall asleep very frustrated.

Thursday: Meet with lawyer. Argue with Car financing company. Pay phone bill. Pay Car payment. Argue with a buyer at work. Answer about 50 phone calls that don’t even merit my attention because their content was so stupid.

The only cool thing about this week though was I got to see MY supercrush! (not to be confused with Jenny Demilo’s supercrush.) We had dinner and I made a fool of myself in Ihop. I also wasted an omelette that regardless of what he says…. tasted like sweet sugary cheese/egg with delicious bacon.

Also, I am pretty stoked on the fact that I have been remembering to wake up at 5AM to go to the gym. I am glad that I am staying on top of that!

On Tuesday, my great grandmother passed away as well. I have no idea how I forgot to put that in there…

I’m kind of really exhausted mentally and I don’t feel as creative as I normally do. Perhaps this weekend. I have a few drafts that I had pre-written. I lost the data when my site went down. However, I have a back up now! Woo Hoo!

I need a fucking nap. (I say nap because it’s 11:30pm and I have to be up at 5AM for my Boot Camp class at the gym and cardio.)

I love you guys!

Leave me love!

Hellllll yeah I made that all by myself…. and to think I was going to pay some broad to do it for me and charge me an ass ton of money and then I wouldn’t even be happy with it because no one has the vision that I do… :D

I LOVEEEEEEEEEEEE It….

That this day in age people actually have time to leave anonymous messages on peoples blog’s talking shit and calling me names? I just think?? Really? Wait! You want me to be offended by a person who’s so pathetic they can’t even say their real name when they tell me I’m disgusting and a nobody and I am going to be nothing? Well, my dear anonymous follower, I’ve already accomplished more than you…. How you ask? You’re still in shitty Michigan and you obviously have no life because you’re lurking on people you loath…. So, really if you ask me? Even if I did have a bad week… Even if I was upset yesterday because I have my own issues… DOES NOT MEAN my life is falling apart. OH NO! It’s just as awesome as it’s always been. I’m just having a few bad days… Which is not a big deal. I hate to break it to you but I am human.. Just like anyone else and we all have our ups and downs. But, it’s what you’ve learned from the downs and how fast you bounce back up that separate the weak from the strong. However, my dear anonymous friend, the one trait you forgot I carry. Well, that’s how strong I actually am… and how easy it is for me to pick my sad ass back up and go on with my life and realize IT”S FUCKING LIFE! ! IT HAPPENS TO EVERYONE! So, eat shit and die if you want I don’t really give a shit… but stop shitting up my blog. I hate wasting my time banning all of your ip’s. You should probably get a job or something it would take up some of that free time you have.

Based on the test results on Okcupid it seems that my only match is my vibrator.

Can I just tell you that the last two days have been the worst days I have experienced in quite a long time. I mean it’s hitting me in all aspects of my life. At work, in my non-existent love life and my mind! Let me just tell you what happened to me starting at 6 am. Well, I attempt to get dressed but lately I have had no motivation to get out of bed because since a few days before Christmas I have slept literally 2 hours max. every night. It is so hard to struggle with sleeping issues because this is what led me to using benzo’s and sleeping pills in the first place. It’s so hard to not call a dr and be like, “Yo, I need some Ambien.” But I haven’t done it. I have tried fucking EVERYTHING. Secondly, I have not consumed a meal in 4 days. I have had a piece of string cheese and I had a bite of bread today with hummus on it. So, yesterday I get pulled into a meeting and I am told that I now have MORE responsibilities at my job. As in, I will be taking the work the girl who got fired did… Because I don’t have enough work already. I have been so over worked and under paid that I cannot really even fathom how anyone in their right mind could even do that to me without even asking nonetheless! I even stated over and over.. I CANNOT HANDLE ALL OF THAT WORK. . Then I start fighting with Guy. Basically I do everything wrong. I am wrong for getting upset about things that he gets upset at me about… Right. THEN this morning I am all pissed off because I was basically told if you don’t do this shit at work you can quit… and now I have to answer and help train all of the new people and then play back up receptionist for when the receptionist takes her lunch. Wait WHAT? Who covers my desk when I take my non existent lunch? No one. Because I have not taken a lunch or a break since Sept 29th 2009. I have often worked until 8 or 9 pm from 730 am and 8 am. Oh did I mention they refuse to pay me over time? Did I mention I make the same rate of pay as the receptionist? Yes the one who answers phones and copies and pastes templates for a living! Yep. It’s like listen I don’t care what she gets paid.. but what I am saying is… I give a shit how much I am getting paid and deal with and handle a hell of a lot more than the girl who answers the phones. That shit fucking drives me INSANE! I feel so under appreciated in my office it’s sick! So this morning all I wanted was a cup of damn coffee. I start to brew it then go to pick out what I am going to wear for the day… and BAM my closet breaks into two. The one side busts me in the face leaving me with a black eye then when I duck to avoid the broken part it fucking cracks me in the head. Now, I have a bump on my head the size of my mothers vagina which btw is obviously very big. What the fuck is happening here life? Throw me a fucking bone here! I am barely making enough money to survive. Then in the back of my mind I keep thinking about how Jan. 12 is approaching quickly… Like as if all I really need to think about is Mark’s death! I just cannot seem to get it out of my mind. I need a fucking break! I need to fucking sleep! Someone fucking HELP ME!!

Can I just add…. It is one of the worst things in the world to be having a day like this and then you call all of these people who you thought cared and they dont even bother to pick up the phone or let alone return your call….

Makes me think about the next time I decide to bend over backwards for them…

Good looking out readers. You guys always treat me good…

Thank you for all of the presents that I received big and small…I mean even lotion helps me! I love you guys. Thanks for listening. xoxox

I am so awkward.

I hate having crushes on guys. It’s the worst. You almost feel like you aren’t in control of anything you do. This is why I never let you stupid men get too close because if I do you will set your spells on me and bring me to my knees into submission. You know the feeling where you just feel that the presence of a certain person just dominates your judgment? >:(

Today I have this overwhelming need for wanting to be consumed in passion. I just want to be touched all over and kissed and just swallowed whole.
