Stretch Marks!

   Stretch marks!!! Yes the words that make every female shudder! These horrible little marks plaugue even the skinnist female or male. Stretch mark can occur for many diffrent reasons, such as:
  1. Wt. gain
  2. Puberty
  3. Pregnanay
  4. Increase in muscle mass
   Just to name a few! The big debate is whether these little buggers can be prevented and if they can be removed once there on you! I myself being a mother of 4 kiddos have been plagued with these horrible stretch marks! I have been living with them for many, many years and I have just recently began my journey to irradicate or lesson the apperance of my stretch marks!

  I will be trying various methods on the market as well as some home remidies and I will report back and let you my reader know how my treatments are going GOOD or BAD!

   So here is the first installment in my Stretch Mark Journey!




Lets just peel it off!
   So I have done some research and have come across many articles and videos that claim that use a TCA peel over months will help reduce if not get rid f your stretch marks! So being the crazy gal that I am I decided to be the guine pig and give it a try! Now I MUST WARN YOU!!!!!! I AM NOT A DERMATOLOGIST AND YOU SHOULD PROBABLY HAVE A DR. DO THIS IF THIS YOUR FIRST TIME! ALSO IF YOU ARE AFRICAN AMERICAN YOU MUST TAKE SPECIAL PERCAUTIONS AS IT MAY LEAVE BURNS OR KELOID SCARRING! That being said here is the video!



Until we can banish them, why not cover them!

   Everything takes time and that means trying to get rid of stretch marks as well! Soooo!! In the mean time what is a girl to do? Well one option that I found was a product called Derma blend, this product can be purchased on-line as well as some high end stores such as Dillards. This product comes in a variety of colors and can be used to cover skin imperfections such as ventiligo to a bad tattoo! I purchased my Derma blend off of EBAY and here is my review.
