Kairasa

I've been to: Australia (all around the East coast from Cairnes down to Sydney), Rome, Paris, London, Holyhead (Wales), all around Ireland, and Zurich (Switzerland...but only the airport haha).

 

I plan to visit: Every single country I can experience in my lifetime.

 

I haven't really eaten many exotic foods. I did have escargot in Paris and blood pudding in Ireland.

 

I've held a koala in Australia and been up close and personal with kangaroos!

 

I could not pick a place to be the most interesting because all of them left a strong impression on me. I flew to Ireland at the end of May last year and it was a pretty spectacular month spent there. I got to see my now fiance after 5 months of being apart upon arrival, he proposed on the second day in a CASTLE, I got to meet a lot of important people in his life, drive around the country for 3 weeks, and spend a few days in Dublin at a Catholic conference. It was a beautiful experience.

 

Rome was also wonderful because it was at Christmastime, I hadn't seen aforementioned person in 4 months, I got to attend mass in St Peter's on Christmas Eve with the Pope....got to explore the city....

 

My life is just full of blessings and traveling is definitely way up there on my list for things to share with my soon to be husband and our future children. Whether it's on a roadtrip through America (we did that for a month a few summers ago!), or a foreign country. The world is endlessly fascinating to me.

Pretty alright...had a bit of a breakout because I ran out of my acne products, but it'll be back on track soon enough. =)

Moving this to the antibiotics thread.

Also, I took it for upwards of 18 months and didn't have any adverse affects, but I did taper the dosage as I went off of it and that greatly reduced the transition for my acne. It did come back but milder, and I still use topicals to this day.

Aw I was really excited about Kaley being here then I realized this topic was 3 years old...

I know it's difficult, and as a teen I used to be INCREDIBLY frustrated when my mom would say "oh you'll grow out of it!" and...I never did. Even now I have to 'maintain' my acne, meaning I use Dan's Regimen and it keeps it under control, but I cannot just use nothing, or the acne will persist.

Instead of throwing a pillow across the room and stomping my foot, I learned to accept it as a part of me. Not a good or a bad part, but just one element. Just like my straight hair, my eye color, my body shape...it's one part of me. But what it brought me, or forced me to learn, was so much more important. And that's what acne reminds me of now, personal growth. Try to work towards that...because you'll be a much happier and satisifed person, trust me. It's difficult and yet so worth it!
