Acne treatment

As I said in my previous post, I decided not to take Isotretinol to cure my acne.
So I started two days ago with a cream that I'll apply on my face on the evenings.

Today is the second day and I can see some drying out and peeling off.

So I can't wait to see some results.

Autumn shopping

For a while ago I've been debating on getting high heeled boots for the autumn/winter.
I found a pair from Vagabond, model named " Varlyn " but Unfortunately the model was sold out everywhere!  Its price put me down a bit ( 99 euros ) not a fan to spend that much on a pair of shoes ( specially after getting many pairs of new real leather shoes for under 50 euros... so I kept looking...

Checked at Zalando.fi ( I check that page almost every day :D ) and found a pair that I liked.

- Real leather
-Zipper on the side
-High heel maybe 9 cm?
- Platform sole

Price was 69,95..but if your order is above 50 euros you get a 10% off... not much but still a discount.

So I got them today, tried them on, despite the high heel, it was super comfortable!

I recommend Zalando.fi, free delivery and return!

Here is a pic of my newbies...also a scarf that I got last time, Burberry inspired, much 100 times cheaper! :)

Pollo a la Brasa / Peruvian style grilled chicken /Bras kyckling

One of the most eaten dishes in Peru after ceviche ( fish marinated in lemon juice ) is Pollo a la brasa.

Pollo a la brasa restaurants in Lima you find at every corner almost.

It's simple but delicious!

There is no way to compare this grilled chicken with the one that you buy at the supermarkets here in Finland.  Every time I get chicken, I wash away all the orange marinate...and make my own.

No well...no more words, here it is the recipe:

- 2 whole chickens ( I always buy the one frozen with white Plastic bag )
- 500 gr ( 1/2 kilo salt )
-8 teskedar svart öl
-3 teskedar vinager
-2 teskedar kumin/cumin
-3 teskedar black pepper
-lite paprika to give a little of color
-rosmarin

Get a big bowl with water and add the salt...mix it until salt is gone...add the whole chickens under the salty water for 30 minutes. Meanwhile you prepare the marinade.

Mix all the rest of ingredients...take away the chickens from the salty water and add this marinade, put some inside the chicken and on top, under the skin...USE YOUR HANDS! Marinade all over!

Put the chickens on an oven plate, for 180 C degrees... for about 2 hours...then when it is ready...put the oven fan ( grill mode ) so the skin turns crunchy.

Voila!

We eat the pollo a la brasa with french fries, chili sauce and sallad.

Delicious!

Decision taken...

After so much thinking and after reading the very dangerous side effects of Isotetrinol ( Accutane ) I have decided not to risk my health and won't be taking this cure for my acne.

I asked the doctor for another option, I got today a  topic cream that I will apply on my affected parts every night. I read also the side effects: cracking, redness, dry skin, itching, stigning... I will have to deal with those but at least this cream's side effects are not going to destroy my liver or intestines.

Hopefully this cream will help me, Im tired of my inflamated red chin  with many white spots...arghhh...but in the end...it's just acne...there are many more accute sicknesses...and I should be thankful...yes...Linda....thankful!

However, I am not going to deny that acne attacks not only your outside but your inside...your self-esteem...your mood.. and even lead to depression...

Well...I'll write about if the cream is working or not. I am not yet willing to put a picture...it's just too embarrasing :( sorry!

Maybe there will be some "before and after" pictures...

See you later...coming up next: recipe time!
