that Jessica Simpson is full of...

By -

Okay - so I've been "trying" Proactiv since last summer, and have yet to see real improvements. It hasn't made my skin any better when I use it. BUT - if I go a couple days without it, I totally break out. So I guess my skin is addicted to the chemical concoction, but it's only maintaining my original amount of acne-face.

Am I alone in my frustration? Has this stuff worked for any of you? Should I throw in the towel and save 20 bucks a month?

You know what? I tried it once about 5 years ago and quit after like 3 wks because I was having the same issues that you are but I order it again 2 yrs ago and it really has done wonders for my face. I keep thinking that maybe I'll try something else and not spend the money but I just can't give it up! Maybe give it a bit longer and see if it starts working...

I am a die hard believer in the stuff. Jessica Simpson is still full of crap though. Virgin--my a$$.

It was mediocre for myself. I am, however, laughing out loud at Alicia's Jessica Simpson smack in the face!

man I love the lee girls...I SWEAR by the stuff (and so does scott, secretly--i have him hooked) but when I used in living in Minnesota...it didn't do a crappy thing, but when I moved to Utah it was bliss! I took a break from it for awhie and then when i restarted it was heavenly! Good luck, but I have never really noticed any "bad skin" on you...it's usually quite flawless!

Wow I agree with everyone saying it works sometimes and sometimes not. I don't get it! I used to be totally a believer and couldn't live without it, and then all of the sudden I stopped getting break outs and now I use the Wal-Mart version of Oil of Olay. How cheap am I? I actually HAVE about six bottles of it under my bed and don't want to use it because I'm afraid I'll break out and have to depend on it again. What's a girl to do :)

serious with the flawless stuff. i've never noticed any problems with your gorgeous skin. i've never used the stuff, my friends did and loved it, but i could never get myself to try it. my SIL annette and amy used it, but it was bleaching all of their towels when they used it... have you noticed that or was it just the vests?

Hey Michelle...sorry for busting in on your blog..(this is Leslie's little sister Marie)...anyhow...I have really bad skin,don't really like to talk about it, but I used the ProA for about a year and it didn't work(accually made me worse)...then I took a break for about 6mos...went back to it and it still didn't work for me...so I tried a line called MURAD, it's basiclly the same thing except it's not as HARSH because it doesn't have Benzoil Peroxide in it! I figured that's why Proactive wasn't working for me (guess I'm too sensitive to BP?) The MURAD works for me...I still get the occational breakouts during that time of the month, but it's not that bad! Thanks 4 letting me leave my comment! Hope it helps...
BTW...I've always thought you're sooooo Beautiful! :P
Tell Brad I said Hellur! And I'll see ya at the next Gleaves...get together!
Marie:)

Sayla Larsen and Kaiya have dance together on Tuesdays. Imagine a dozen uncoordinated three-year-olds running around a studio in tutus. It's pretty much the cutest thing ever. The girls were playing at our house after class the other day. They are so funny together... See? Told ya.

Valentine's Day photos

Valentine's Day seemed as good an excuse as any to schedule long-overdue photos for the kiddos. (And I'm posting all of my favorites because I can.  Also so that my mom and Marsha can tell me which ones they want me to print for them.) Ben was an absolute turd during this photo shoot, which is why I'm amazed these pictures turned out as good as they did.  I will have to Photoshop that sucker out of his hand when I order prints for the wall, though.  Here's our little GQ junior model...  Seriously, how could anyone stay mad at that face?  And here's Miss Kaiya!  She is growing up WAY too fast for my liking. This one is my favorite! So... once Ben finally cheered up, Kaiya acted up, and our attempts at getting a decent sibling photo were kinda' thwarted... This one will have to do :)

Christmas 2012

Christmas Eve We attempted to teach the Walker grandkids the nativity story by having them act it out.  Ben was uncooperative and the costumes need some work (my fault), but the kids were pretty cute nonetheless.  Ben cheered up when he got to play with this super friendly golden retriever puppy that my in-laws were babysitting/hiding (he was to be a Christmas surprise for some friends).  What is it about this breed that is so stinkin' cute!?    Kaiya decorated some cookies for Santa by emptying two jars of sprinkles. Christmas Day   Since we video taped the whole procession, we neglected to take too many pictures Christmas morning.  But here are a couple shots of the magic.  Among other things, Santa gave Kaiya a puppy... as real a puppy as she'll ever get, anyway :)   Santa also brought Ben his own little car which he's been driving around the basement for three days (alongside Kaiya on her new birt...
