Finally Visited the Dermatologist

I finally visited the dermatologist Dr Valarie Callender at the Callender Laser and Skin Care Institute about 2 weeks ago. I really like Dr Callender, our appointment was quite short but she was pleasant to talk to. She examined my face and obviously was very familiar with my skin problem. My acne is caused by bacteria under the skin - I was prescribed an anti biotic Adoxa and a Retin-A cream - Torazac. She also gave me some samples to start using because of the delays in getting the prescription filled. I also received samples of Ambi fade cream. I'm so glad I got the samples because I still don't have the prescription filled because of pre-authorization issues with the insurance company. Hopefully that should be resolved by next week.

Some Before and After Shots


I see definite improvements already in my skin, but I won't say too much right now. Let's see what happens when I go through my 'cycle'. Will I have another massive eruption of zits or will things be under control?

More to come so please stay tuned :)

The Status on My Sister Locks

I have to confess that I haven't posted photos of my Sisterlocks because they have been doing rather poorly. Over the past year I have noticed that my locks have been thinning at the base and some have even fallen out.

I do not have thick hair and all the weak spots in my hair are thinning out. At first I thought it was because of my hormones adjusting to having a baby, but that was 2 years ago. Another factor that I am sure has contributed to the demise of my locks, was a really bad hair color job. I knew something was wrong when locks hung limp within a week of the color. No amount of conditioning could revive them.

So right now I am at cross roads. I am considering cutting off my locks and starting again with traditional locks or combining my sisterlocks into traditional locks to give them more strength in the base.

Need advise and insight please
