With the recent late nights, lack of sleep and bad irregular eating habits due to preparation for my final prevention/showcase (which is in a couple of days time) = graduation, poor me have been having bad breakouts popping out one after another. One word, DEPRESSING!!
Honestly, mine isn't as bad as this is. But since i'm really vain, 4 dots is down right BAD that it's enough to annoy and depress me. It is just a dramatic way of phrasing it, but you can't blame a theatre student who majored in Acting right? It's in the bones.
Due to "desperate" measures without having to spend hundreds of dollars, I went in search of my "best" friend - Google. There're tons searches that came up but this website totally caught my attention, "How to get rid of your pimple overnight". ISN'T THIS AMAZING?!!
