Acne for Adults? Why?

So I was someone who was blessed to not have acne as a teenager and I truly am grateful for that. Not so grateful that I have now come into the ripe age of 30 and have found that my skin is the worst it has ever been. Literally I sit at the beauty counter and look at acne and anti-aging products, that is wrong. I have actually found that a few companies market products for both, such as Murad with there acne fighting, anti aging product line. I am in the 4th week of this line which includes a very nice cleanser and fabulous toner, a "treatment" that I'm still unsure of and a moisturizer that seems decent. Not to be forgotten is the 2-3 times per week mask. I have to say that my favorite esthetician did tell me that I have to actually wait at least 6 weeks before I swear off anything. I love the products however I am not sure if they are doing anything for my skin. It hasn't gotten worse but I haven't seen it get better either, I'm hanging in there at least until my product is gone and then I will move onto the next. 

iphone 4 is old news

Just as we were getting settled with the iphone4 we are now moving into the new era....Apple has gotten to the point where its fans await the release of new iPhones like a life experience. So with the expectation that a new iPhone will be upon us by the end of September, we will be seeing more “leaks” telling us what the phone will look like and what will be in it. The pretty standard rumor out is that the phone will have a bigger screen. Other rumors include the speakers in a new location. Hmmm....who cares. The bigger screen is definitely a game changer, if you are like me than you are weary about the iphone of any generation for the sole reason that you like a wider display you may have found your solution. 


And if you are thinking about trading up, do it now. 


Many companies will let you lock in the price of the trade-in and give you a month to give them the old phone. You will get more money now than after the new phones come out, companies are more likely to assure you a healthy trade-in value now if you don't wait for the massive rush that will come with the new phone release.
