My Cherub's Den

Archive for the ‘Beauty’ Category

After three days of being sick, the little one finally recovered. He was complaining of a sore throat upon waking up on Friday morning and later that day, he got a fever. I was doing my online tasks that Friday morning which includes checking for an acne treatment for my niece when he came over to me sobbing and complaining of his sore throat and headache. I had to set aside my browsing at that time and attend to his needs. Gladly, he didn’t have classes that day.

But now that he is okay, I can continue my search for that acne treatment again. I left it that day and totally forgot about it because I was already worried sick about my li’l one. I hope I will be successful with my search because not only does my niece need some help, this acne on my cheek is really annoying too. Wish me luck!

Teenagers are prone to pimples or acne because that is the time that their bodiess are changing and their hormones are going crazy. I am hoping that my son will be spared from that. I never had that dilemma and hope the same goes for him too. But his late dad used to have it, even as an adult. His face never seemed to be free from adult-acne the whole time we were together, from the time we were dating up to after our marriage. I hope my son won’t inherit that. There’s a big chance that he will because it can be hereditary. If ever he does, then I think adult acne treatment will come to the rescue.

My 11-year-old niece, Wegee, was here earlier and I noticed a pimple on her left cheek. That was the first time she’s ever had and I kidded her that maybe she’s already in love and that’s why she got a pimple. Her being a jolly one who doesn’t take her aunt too seriously, she just gave me a wide grin.

I do hope my son won’t get pimples when he reaches his teenage years. I know many teenagers are not spared but, still, there are some who just get lucky and I hope my son will be among them. But if ever he will not be spared, then I will find the best acne treatment to come to his rescue.

At this time of my life, I’m praying and hoping that my son Yogi won’t be having acne during his teenage years, and certainly not suffer from adult acne and have to deal with the negative emotions and angst it can bring like low self-esteem. I know most of us go through that stage but I know there are lucky ones who don’t and I do hope he will be one of those lucky ones. Some of it is hereditary and good thing, it’s not in our genes, but I’m still anxious about what the future may hold in store for him.

Why am I so worried this early? Gosh, he’s only seven and still has many years until his teenage years. I’m just such a worrier. I’ll just cross that bridge when we get there, in hopes that that bridge never appears on our journey.

I was in front of the mirror last night and in the middle of putting moisturizer on my face when my son came in. It’s not the first time he has seen me doing it but he was being in his mischievous li’l self again and asked me what I was putting on my face. I answered him that it’s a moisturizer, the same thing I put every night. Then he adds, “Will that make you look young again?” Ouch! “Do I really look that old?”, I retorted, and he chuckled.

I know he was just teasing me but I know soon enough putting on a wrinkle cream like prevera will be an addition to my night time beauty rituals. But I have no problem with that because it’s inevitable that time will eventually catch up with me and I’m embracing the future with my chin up and a smiling face and for sure, I will age gracefully.
