Personal Narrative: Detoxifying Facial Mask

Lucy Grealy tells a story about not fitting in, unbearable pain that takes up residence in one's head as loneliness and confusion, questioning what things mean, being scared and lost in your family, enduring intense physical pain, and most importantly, figuring out who you are. Lucy had no idea she might die, even though the survival rate for Ewing's sarcoma was only five percent. She does not present her parents as overly afraid for her life, either. Her autobiography is not a story about the fear of death, but about such courage and anguish. Lucy shows how she falls under the spell of her disability, allowing it to control her life and dictate her future to a greater extent than it would otherwise. Having a disability means that

To help consumers get the flawless skin they covet, Noixia investigated ways people could clear their congested pores at home without causing skin damage or scars.

Throughout the semester I have faced many difficult and different challenges. One major challenge has been to be acting as a single parent again. Recently my husband left for another deployment which has left me alone to care for our children. It has become my sole responsibility to take care of our children and transport them to and from daycare. I also have to make sure I have childcare lined up if I pick up shifts at work. Another thing that has fallen on my shoulders is the responsibility of all of the housework. Instead of having my husband's help with cleaning and putting laundry away, I now have to rely on myself, which I hate. Another challenge I have faced this semester is getting back into a good school routine. When I left high school

Hey Everyone! I have been away for several days! Life has been busy, and stressful. However Its getting better. I had a nice relaxing weekend. I missed writing posts! This last weekend I went bowing with some friends, and then went shopping. Of course I went to Lush and bought a few things! My love for Lush is real. I posted a YouTube video of what I bought for my last two Lush visits. Recently I have been loving their Fresh Face Masks! Tonight I am going to use one!

“Get down,” I say, pushing my agent-in-training Xavier to the ground. “Turn on the voice detector and don’t say a word. I’m recording.”

During my read of “Unmasking the Face: A guide to recognizing emotions from facial expressions” by Paul Ekman and Wallace V. Friesen the themes of this book became extremely apparent. The main theme of this book is to understand certain facial expressions. Although there are many other themes that was the most important. This book is more of an informational book instead of a book with a plot. Therefore there are no characters in the book besides the two people, John and Patricia, which were used as examples of what the content of the book was explaining. The main points of this book are basically the main emotions that are being used. The chapters of the book go on by emotion. For example, chapter 4 starts, Surprise, off the emotions. Chapter 4 is all about how

Then, the youngest Kardashian sister also gets scrubbing with Kiehl’s Blue Herbal Gel Cleanser for only, $21 at Neimanmarcus.com. "After removing my makeup, I wash my face with this. Hands-down the BEST cleanser for breakouts," she says.

The facial reconstruction project was, by far, the most challenging yet enjoyable project. This is because there were many hard areas to accomplish, but the ending was worth it. Me and Faith found that the most challenging part was the ending and creating that smooth, human like skin. Personally, my most challenging part were the lips. I tried once, but let my partner take over, because that seemed to be her strong suit. We learned that the mouth would’ve been easier if we had done the nose before the mouth.

Today was the second day of my 6-week placement at Ward 3A-Logan Hospital, I have originally been paired with a demand casual pool RN, however, the said RN is not confident enough to handle me as her student nurse at the time. After the scrum at 7am, and the handover on the 4-bed bay + sides, I politely ask her if I could take one patient as it was one of the instructions of my CF during the orientation on day 1, but I was answered with “I’m not really familiar with the area and I’m from the demand casual pool...” Having sighted my CF at the corridors, I excused myself from the RN and discussed the matter to my CF, and she allowed me to be buddied with a very good EN, informing me that “she is an EN” before letting me to the bay and introducing me to my new buddy EN.

Today was not a good day. I broke the challenge. This semester I need to complete nineteen credits, so I am busy and stress. It was not a good idea to reduce the level of nicotine during this time because I know that If I want to give up to smoke, I need to look for a period without pressure. In addition to that I realized that If one day I want to quit to smoke I cannot only reduce the number of cigarettes, I will not smoke at all. I will try to do it again, when I finish this

As a thirteen-year-old girl, I was only concerned about trivial things, such as outfits for school and new crushes. However, that all seem to change once I began experimenting with cosmetics. After watching my older sister wear makeup in high school, I too wanted to look “beautiful” to the world and finally mask my awkwardly round and acne-prone face. During my first days of wearing makeup, everyone seemed to compliment me on my beauty and I began making more friends than ever before, but one day the right side of my face began to itch and soon I began feeling a burning sensation along the entirety of my face. Days later, I woke up with my face completely littered with acne and lesions. The next day going back to school was by far the hardest

Then the huge, ugly, repulsive lady ripped off her mask and unzipped her clothes and my dad popped out. My dad laughed and laughed he then said,

Some of you who know me know that in the last three years I've accomplished what I never thought I would do and what many said I couldn't do. I've lost an excess of 160lbs total. I weighed 380lbs at the age of 21. Now that I have lost a majority of the weight there lies a new issue that has been a problem. Excess loose skin everywhere!! My whole childhood I was heavy set. Always picked on, teased about being fat and having man boobs. But the way I handled it made fun n cracked fat jokes on myself so others would laugh just to be accepted and putting put on my fake smile. I've been battling weight loss and weight gain since I was about 13. Which has caused allot of self confidence, severe anxiety issues and

I was a pizza face. At least that was the name a classmate gave me.
