Oh wow, I may have to wonder over to the mall tomorrow then!
I am good! I fell asleep super early (10:30) last night and slept until 11 today! I was tired!! I feel like a missed a lot of talk on here. 
I'm at day 81 already today! I can't believe how fast this is all going by. It's kind of crazy. My face is really starting to change, I think. My jawline is feeling smoother every day. Of course, I still have red marks from the acne that was there. I have about four zits that are in that final healing stage, before they really go away! My cheek is a lot flatter than it was earlier in the week.
The only real "active" that I have is on my forehead. I don't know what this thing is. It's like two zits right next to each other. I still can't tell if they're going to get big & gross, or if they're just going to end up being little zits. Oh well, I can't really complain when everything has gotten much better! 
I'm going to a graduation party today for my cousin's boyfriend. I have to get ready and drive there. I hope it's a good time because I really just want to relax. I'm going to have to bring some SPF with me because the party is pretty much outside! Ahhh man. Hahaha.
Enjoy the weather! Right now it's starting to storm, we're supposed to have isolated thunder storms all day and night.. it's so humid too. Grr.. but thankfully I have to work at 1 in an air conditioned place so I'm actually pretty glad I work. I'm also glad I only work until 6, yay! I have to go get ready though, I'll be back around 630 to catch up <3
Have a great day!
Omg caribou coffee is the shizz, there are all over the place here
I've never heard of Caribou Coffee either! Is it like Starbucks, a coffee shop type place? The only other one we have in town in Barneys and they do not even compare to Starbucks. I've never noticed a burned taste but maybe if I tried a Caribou I would. Hmmmmmmm, I'll have to ask my husband if he's heard of it. He travels to Minnesota quite often and he loves coffee- that's where you're at, right? Or is it Wisconsin?
Yeah I am MN, Taylor is WI... I thought Caribous were all over the place! Best coffee ever. Seriously puts Starbucks to shame. We have more Caribous than Starbucks here. I have a dunn brother and a caribou right around the corner so I get to enjoy me some turtle mocha's from time to time. I would be broke if I had it every day though. 4 bucks a coffee isn't kind on the ol wallet.
Omgggg so I'm going to show you all the stuff I got at Bath & Body Works yesterdayyyy
!
I don't have a camera and don't feel like holding each one up so I'll do the picture from the website:
And then three other small travel size fragrances
Damn Taylor! You are a bargain shopper. Remind me to come pick you up next time I go shopping 🙂

I slept until 11 today too! I never ever sleep that late! For some odd reasons I was up until 2 last night. I couldn't sleep and nothing was on TV besides like those murder mystery shows on Court TV. So I got sucked into those and next thing I knew it was 2 AM. Yikes I am usually asleep by 11.
Day 81, Awesome 🙂 It is going by really fast isn't it? I swear the first couple of weeks on this medication time crawled. After I got used to the idea of being on the medication and came to the realization that things weren't going to happen over night. Time really started to fly by. I can't believe that I just started month 4! That is craziness!
Sounds like things are really starting to happen with you acne! That is so exciting, and I really can't begin to express the feeling of FINALLY it is happening for the both of us! I was starting to think that we were being left behind! Really, we were in worse condition 3 months in then when we started this stuff. So YIPPIE for you!
Have fun at the grad party!
Glad to hear your skin is doing so well Katie! Don't you hate when you get a zit and it decides to bring a friend?! I hate when they're right next to each other like that - ugh. I hope you have fun at your party - enjoy the fresh air!
Thank you Stacey! Month three is doing awesome things for me & I'm thrilled!! 
I hate zits right next to each other, this is the second time this has happened this month! Hahaha.
Thanks!! 🙂

Aw, damn I hate rain. 🙁 But I love thunderstorms! It was muggy and rainy all last week, I'm glad that went away. Hopefully your work day goes by fast!
Thanks Taylor! Talk to you later. I'll most likely be back tomorrow to catch up! 🙂
Somebody was saying (I forget who it was,) that their hair didn't get elastic creases when they took it down. I just got this amazing side effect this week! LOVIN' IT! Also, I have like, no cuticles. It's super easy to paint my nails. Anybody else getting this? It's pretty awesome! I hope these side effects stick around for a while...
Freaky....I just looked at my fingernails and I have NO cuticles.....wtf? haha
Starbucks is from Seattle! I'm actually not a huge fan, but I have found it to be slightly better here.
If you guys ever come here, the best coffee shops are:
1. Stumptown
2. Caffe Vita
3. Vivace
THEY'RE INSANE!!!!!!!!!!!! Your lives will be forever changed. Rice milk latte's are sooooo effing good! Here is a photo of a rice milk latte from Stumptown for ya'll.
Gina I'm going to murder you. Here I am all cozy in bed, and now all I want to do is search down that latte in my city.
Hahahaha I have a way of making people go insane for food + drinks. I like to take photos of things I have eaten or cooked, and then send them to people. So mean, I know. You should try to find a place that makes latte art!!! It's sooo cool! Even if you can't get rice milk, if the coffee is high quality, that's what it's all about.
Hey Kaydon! Happy Father's Dayyyy! How are you doing?
I'll be on for a bit because I just cooked my dad breakfast and cleaned the kitchen for him. I'm renting him a couple dvds of his favorite series: King of Queens to watch with him later tonight and get a huge bag of popcorn.
Until then, Ima be chillin on here 
and enjoying a HUGE CUP OF COFFEEEEEEE!
I need to ween myself off of coffee.. or at least the amount I drink.. which is like 4-5 cups a day :/

Seattle has the best stuff!!! Great food, great coffee! I've never tasted a rice milk latte but I am sure I would love it!
Day 82
Hey everyone! So I had a great time yesterday at my friend's party. There was lots of food and beer. I didn't drink a lot, and I hate the weird looks I get when I turn down taking a shot. I don't care though. I've made it this far & I have 2 and a half months left of taking it easy with alcohol (I'm not a big drinker at all, even if I'm not on 'tane).
My face is coming along. Slowly, but it's better than nothing.
Forehead: Dry skin patches that get kinda scabby looking. And two lovely sister zits. I popped one today. They're not large, but they're not tiny. They seem like stubborn little things, too.
Cheeks: Left side still clear! Right side still has two healing zits from weeks ago, that are becoming smaller, but are still noticeable even with makeup on.
Chin: Clear.
Jawline:Healing. Red marks, and a few zits in the healing process before going away for good. They're really taking their damn time with disappearing.
So, all in all, I'd say that things are coming along pretty well. I'm definitely not breaking out bad anymore. I just want to go a full week or so without getting any new pimples. That would be a good sign.
I completely forgot to mention that Saturday I noticed I had this red patch of skin on my chest. I must have been itching my skin? I have no idea what it is. It was itchy today, so I put some Neosporin on it.
I slept until 11 today too! I never ever sleep that late! For some odd reasons I was up until 2 last night. I couldn't sleep and nothing was on TV besides like those murder mystery shows on Court TV. So I got sucked into those and next thing I knew it was 2 AM. Yikes I am usually asleep by 11.
Day 81, Awesome

Have fun at the grad party!
It definitely went by slow at first because we were thinking big changes were going to come sooner. Once you realize it isn't, time just kind of goes by! Which is a good thing.
I can't believe that you're starting month four either. I'm right behind you! I'm glad we're at least making progress now and not going through breakout after breakout anymore. It's about damn time!

Oh my goddd Gina, that latte looks so good! I JUST started drinking coffee this year. I was never a fan of it. Now I really enjoy it.

Hey Taylor! Happy Father's Day to you too!
Aw that is so nice to do all of that for you dad. I had such a nice day yesterday with all of my friends at the party. I got five and a half hours of sleep, so I was very tired when I got home today! I took a two hour nap, ate something, took the 'tane, took a relaxing bath, and now here I am! I am going out with my dad tomorrow night for dinner, he understood that I was very tired after the party yesterday.
Woohoo!! Sounds like things are going good!! Glad you had a good time at the party. I always get looked at weird when I turn down booze too. Today I was out on the lake fishing with my dad and he brought a cooler of beer out and offered me one like 10 times and I was like naw ill pass and my sister looked at me like I was nuts. Like your out on a boat fishing suns shining and u say no to a beer. Yup, I'm lame! Haha
Your party sounded fun Katie, I'm glad you had a good time. I know what you mean about turning down a drink, even my husband forgets and will look at me like , "really, you don't want another glass?" And I have to say, "I'm trying not to stress my liver, remember?"
I'm glad you're seeing progress, I hope it just keeps getting better. I'm with you about no new zits! So far I've only had a couple new ones come up but stopping breaking out would definitely feel like I'm turning a corner but I'm only finishing month two. It's so hard to be patient, right?! I just got some weird dry patches on my chest but they don't itch. I think it's just the skin drying out, I'm going to try more moisturizer.
Have a nice dinner tonight with your dad.
Day 83
Before & afters --
These two are from day 52 & 58.
These were taken tonight --
Healing, healing, healing! Yay. This forehead pimple is a bitch though...it needs to go away fast!
Looking back on pictures, I realize that my jawline has improved so much! Finally!
So the corners of my lips are starting to bug the hell out of me. I'm not doing anything different. I just think my skin is drying out even more, if that's possible. Yikes.

Thanks Betsy! Things seem to be getting better every day. Ugh, I'm used to the looks when I turn down booze now. I've done it about 20 times since I've been on 'tane. Oh well, haha. It's not worth all that liver damage! I'll stick to my few beers and I'll be good.

It's definitely not worth any liver damage! I care too much about my liver.
Thank you! I think I've reached a turning point, so ANY new pimple is going to make me so pissed off. Before it was like, I was getting SO many each week...not it's one or two and I'm like NO!!! I've got to be patient. I still have two & a half months left. I just realized today that I burnt my chest with my straightener. I forgot I did that. Whoops! I've been putting Neosporin on it.
Thanks! He was in a bad mood, so we decided to do it tomorrow night. Nobody likes a grumpy dad, haha.
Hope everything is going well with you!!
I'm so happy you and Betsy are healing! Your skin looks amazing Kaydon! I hope it continues that way
I was sound asleep and woke up to itching under my knee.. and now it's so damn itchy I can't really focus on anything else or fall back asleep. I really need something for this, ugh ;((((((((.
Good news is, that cheek pimple that I thought could be a cyst that I haven't had in 3 years is a whitehead! It's head came up today and I felt it and it's all dry and shrively.. sorry! But I'm hoping it scabs up right away and peels off!
Tomorrow it's supposed to be extremely hot, so I'm going swimming tomorrow yay! I got this cute white summer dress with a brown belt. I'll take a picture in it, since I never wear dresses.. crazy.
I hope you all are having a fantastic night!
Day 84
Not too much to say today. My face is very dry, even after moisturizing. Mainly my chin and above my mouth. I should start moisturizing more than I do...
So I think I need to wear a pair of gloves when I do filing at work. My hand had JUST healed from the scraped off skin from before, then yesterday I managed to do it all over again. Now I have lovely pink scaley marks on my hand.

Thank you Taylor! I can't wait to see what I look like by next month. This is exciting, haha. Hopefully I don't get anymore crazy zits.
Yay for the whitehead! That's always good when you realize it's not cystic.
It's supposed to be hot here too. Like 100 degrees? Uck. I'm going to be inside with the air on haha. Definitely take a picture in your dress! It sounds cute!!
Hey Katie! Your skin is definitely looking better, what a great feeling! I think filing would be very hazardous for someone on accutane, haha. All that paper just waiting to scratch you! I feel like every day I see new scratches up and down my arms, I'm full of little scabs but better there than on my face! I went back to my strength training class today after taking a week off and it went well so hopefully I won't be too sore tomorrow. I think it's going to be hotter by you than in Florida today! Only a high of 86 which isn't too bad for us. Good thing you'll be under air conditioning today.

White summer dresses are the cutest!
Wow. So I just went to the bathroom in work and noticed that the areas above and below my eyebrows have some skin ripped off. I was sitting at my desk in work, and I itched them a little too hard, I guess. My skin is tearing so easy...

Thanks!! It is such a good feeling. I'm thinking that things can only get better from here. I hate filing. My poor hands look crazy. That's good that you did your strength training class again. I wish I had the motivation to work out. I've been so lazy, especially since I've been on 'tane. :/ I wish I was in Florida today! They said it's an "excessive heat warning". Yikes. Thank god for air conditioning though.

It's funny you mention being very dry, I am moisturizing double time and my chin and upper lip are shedding skin like a mofo! Im all dry and scaley looking. Makeup is starting to look real crappy in that area, seriously my makeup is shedding right off my skin. Really sucks because I now have to carry makeup around with me everywhere I go and check my face every half hour and cover crap up again! Thank god I'm not dating anyone, no one would want to kiss the mouth right now, nasty dry lips and shedding skin... Very very sexy lol

I can't believe how much more DRY I am. It's insane. My makeup is flakey, too. I look like a hot mess. I'm glad I'm not dating anyone either. They would look at me like I'm nuts. So sexy with all this dry scaley skin. 😉
