Karen, that’s hilarious. I bet your husband was about to stroke out!

Rhonda-love, perhaps I need to save the potato remedy for your visit at National. (i)

Ginger, I’ll have to look for it. I’m all for beauty tips. :p

I have heard of the potato remedy but haven’t tried it. When I get a zit, I clean it good and put Noxzema on it and that helps. If you are looking for a good cleaner to take off make up for your face, Freeman’s has a good product that is wonderful, I don’t use anything else. It’s about $5 in cost and comes in a blue or yellow color. Check your local drug store, I believe the bottle is about 10 - 12 ounces. 8)

Please tape the potato to your forehead. I’m picturing this and it’s VASTLY entertaining. :p

I think I’m too old for that zit crud too. Went to the dr many years ago (felt too old then as well) to ask about it and she said, “You have baby, your face clear up!” Yeah, YOU tell that to my then boyfriend, now hubby. The look on his face when I told him that was priceless.

It’s always bigger to you than to anyone else by the way. No one will even notice it! Good luck at your conference!

Thanks, Ginger. I’ll put on my push-up bra and ignore my forehead. Of course there is the little matter of what I’m going to squeeze into, having packed on 7 pounds while finishing that last book.

Rhonda, are you implying hyperbole? Moi?

I’m rolling in the floor, Madison. HTG, I may have to try this just to see the reaction of my family. “Uh…Mom?” “Yeah, baby?” “Why is there a potato taped to your forehead?” And let the dh roll over and get a look at THAT! :p

My cousin swears to this: you take a potato and cut a sliver of it, place it over the blemish and then put a band aid over it for the night. The next morning it’s pretty much gone and totally coverable by makeup. Disclaimer - don’t scream bloody murder when you take off the bandaid… the potato will be black, it’s supposed to look that way.

BTW, she’s got excellent skin, me I’m too much of a woos to try it.

You are insane! This zit can’t be that big! You will do a wonderful job–you’re a great speaker!

Honey you go there and lift your head up high. Let them hear what you have to say, and look stunning in your outfit. And of course, try what Rhonda mentioned. They shouldn’t be there to check out a zit or otherwise. GOOD LUCK!!!!! :)
