Guest Post: Bye 2011, It's Been Fun

By -



Hey, I am Jess from LWIG:LOOK WHAT I GOT!. My blog is my little get-away where I express my passion for fashion and beauty through my outfit and make up looks. Just want to say a big thank you to Opal for letting me do this post.

As we are officially in 2012, I thought it was best to do a round up of my outfits in 2011 and what I hope 2012 will bring. Last year, my new year's resolution was to not to be afraid, and to push myself outside my boundaries. I think I achieved this resolution in many ways because for one I started my blog. It might be sound over dramatic but my blog has really changed my life, as it has re-ignited in a passion that I thought I had lost, so it was one of the best decisions I made last year.


I spent 9 months of the year applying for internships, getting rejected from many of them and finally getting one in the Summer. This was a frustrating experience, but I'm glad I stuck it out. I also made a special effort to spend more time with my friends and family, and I am so glad I did as I got closer to people, not to mention I made new friends on my internship.


I entered the Look competition, lost but got invited to the look lounge. It was my first blog event and was so exciting. I was glad my blog was getting recognised, I am definitely entering next year, so lets hope I get further.


2011 was also special as I turned 21 and I went to Ghana for my birthday. It was exciting and I hope to go again soon. All in all 2011 was a good year for me, I haven't got a New Year resolution yet but I am definitely going to go hard on the blog and just enjoy life.


What's your New Year's resolution???

Dr. Sue Ann Wee on Acne Scarring, Types of Acne Scars, and Treatment Options

Dr. Sue Ann Wee is Board Certified Dermatologist with expertise in laser surgery, cosmetic, and medical dermatology. I got the opportunity to ask her a few questions about acne scarring and the treatment options that are available for those suffering from acne scarring.  Why does acne scarring occur? When acne occurs, it is accompanied by an inflammatory response which injures the skin. This injured area of skin then undergoes wound repair in which the body produces scar tissue (collagen) to heal the wound. Although, the body replaces injured tissue with the same type of tissue (collagen) that is present in normal tissue, scar tissue lays down collagen in a  different and inferior manner compared to normal tissue collagen. This different arrangement of collagen in the body’s healing  process is the key feature of scar formation. What are the different types of acne scars? There are 5 main types of acne scars: rolling, box-car, ice-pick, hypertrophic, and keloid. R
