After One Heavy Day of Partying, Sinful Food and Booze

This morning I woke up later than usual .....

Still feeling tired from last night's doze of partying in town, tons of oily, fattening food, chocolates and enriched dinner, and of course beer ........ being last day of 2009 that is.....

Anyways, I woke up feeling very heaty and dry on my lips.

Went to the toilet to freshen up and lo and behold ..........

A YELLOWISH POINTY PIMPLE ON MY FACE !

I had to do a double take, blinked my eyes ..... yup, that dratful pimple is there, sticking out like an eye sore just beneath my nose.

I mean, what !!!! I am like, ahem, 30 .... and at my age it is almost IMPOSSIBLE to get any more acne !

I made a mad scramble to grab hold of my age-old acne home remedies ....... and drinking a lot of Chinese tea to cool myself down.

Going to whip up my cucumbers, aloe vera and all.... and grab a DIY face mask.

No more oily food for me for at least 1 week ...
