  First of all, I’m very sorry for not able to send out the weekly newsletters the past couple weeks. There have been MAJOR technical/security issues with For Luminous Skin. It’s really complicated and it’s been like this for almost a month. I have 2 blogs now, so when one blog has a problem, it affects the other blog too. The problems still exist and we’re doing our best to solve them.

  The past month the blog has been down several times and running really slow. Another thing that’s also giving me a headache, is most of the links (posts and images) on the blog are broken, or for some reason.. can not be found. Not even when you Google Search them. This one hit me the hardest because it means all the work I’ve done for the whole year were useless.  I’m not sure if this going to change, it depends pretty much on Google. On top of all of that, the problems are also causing me to lose traffic to the website and SUBSCRIBERS.

  I can’t even express how much this sucks! I’m so stressed out about this and I don’t even know how and when things going to get back to normal. But I will keep you guys updated Let’s hope for the best!

  I purchased the Mario Badescu’s acne care ”Say Hello To Clear” set during the holiday. This set includes the Drying Lotion, Drying Cream and Silver Powder. I’ve been testing them out each individually and here is my thoughts about this product..

  What I like about this product:

  The Mario Badescu Drying Lotion is a cult product. I’m sure, lots of you have heard of it before. When a product is well-known for what it does, it intrigues you. This is how I always felt about the Drying Lotion, and I was pretty sure that it does work. It has lots of great ingredients that sounded very promising; Salicylic Acid, Colloidal Sulfur and Alcohol – all are meant for targeting blemishes, breakouts and blackheads. But why it didn’t do anything to my zits?!

  

  What I wish to be improved:

  First of all, I want to talk about the packaging. I’m not a fan of the glass bottle. It feels too small and almost slippery to get a good grip on the bottle. Every time I opened it, I kept thinking to myself “Don’t drop it, don’t drop it, don’t dr.. Damn it, I’m going to drop it” I don’t trust my shaky hands with something this delicate and slippery to the touch. The whole packaging system and how you get the product out are not so safe, to me.

  Quick Update About The Situation

  Hi guys,

  First off – I’m really sorry for lack of posting these last few days. I was supposed to publish a new post a few days ago, that was when things were going down for me. That night when I was writing that post, my wrist started to pain which forced me to stop writing and finally put down my laptop to get some rest.

  The next morning when I woke up, the pain was still there. I still went to work that day, but working end up being dreadful to me. My hand was really weak that day, so after work I went to seek medical care. Turn out I been suffering from “tennis elbow” I got some medicine for it now and some time off from work so I could rest.

  As I work at the office 8 hours a day, then sometimes come home to blog all night, have finally taking toll on my arm. I realized now, I need to organize my blogging schedule better. So I wouldn’t try to do it all at once and I need to listen to my body when it needs a break.

  

  Apparently my arm isn’t the only thing that needs a break. My laptop has giving me signs of giving up too – it keep shutting down whenever it feels like it and this baby is only 7 months old.

  Anyhow, I will try my best to get back on blogging next week. Hopefully my arm is fully healed then. Thank you for your understanding and patience. Have a nice weekend everyone – Rest well!!
