Well, hello!

My whole life, I've always enjoyed writing down my thoughts; I've always thought it was so therapeutic.  So I figured it would be fun to start a blog talking about this new journey I've started with Plexus.

Growing up, I struggled with acne; not just acne, but cystic acne.  For those of you who aren't familiar with cystic acne; it's extremely painful.  It really made me insecure about my skin and I always felt embarrassed.  I was always trying to cover it up with tons of foundation which wasn't helpful.  Once I started birth control, that seemed to help but didn't cure it.  I tried every topical treatment under the sun and found the only thing that helped, was Minocycline; which is an oral medication - but who wants to take that everyday?  It's not healthy to do that long term but in the moment, I didn't care!  Whatever worked! 

As I reached my 20's it seemed to get better and my skin was clear.  I still took great care of it, washing it twice daily, not sleeping with makeup on, and using acne fighting skin products on a daily basis.  So I was happy...my skin finally looked great!  This lasted for just about 10 years...

Out of the blue, just before my 30th birthday...boom!  Cystic acne reappears and it came back full force!  Nothing I did would help.  I went to the doctor, they switched my birth control 3 times, it only got worse - my hormones were all out of whack!  So they prescribed me Retinol gel.  Which, I wasn't a fan of but I'd give it a shot.  I used it for 2 months and nothing!  So I then tried DoTerra oils and at first it seemed to help and then my skin seemed to have an allergic reaction to it, so I stopped.  I researched more online and saw that Obagi skin care had an acne line called Clenziderm.  I started using that and at first, my skin didn't like it but I did read it was common.  I had little bumps and my skin was on fire.  I stuck with it though. 

In the meantime, my aunt introduced me to Plexus.  She felt that my skin issues were gut related.  After I did some research, I agreed.  It all seemed to make sense.  I started to realize that I just might have a yeast overgrowth; also known as Candida.  Not only was I having severe skin issues but there were so many other symptoms that I had been suffering from my ENTIRE life! 

What are common symptoms of candida?

1. Skin and nail fungal infections, such as athlete’s foot or toenail fungus
2. Feeling tired and worn down, or suffering from chronic fatigue or fibromyalgia
3. Digestive issues such as bloating, constipation, or diarrhea
4. Autoimmune diseases such as Hashimoto’s thyroiditis, Rheumatoid arthritis, Ulcerative colitis, Lupus, Psoriasis, Scleroderma or Multiple sclerosis
5. Difficulty concentrating, poor memory, lack of focus, ADD, ADHD and brain fog
6. Skin issues like acne, eczema, psoriasis, hives and rashes
7. Irritability, mood swings, anxiety or depression
8. Vaginal infections, urinary tract infections, rectal itching or vaginal itching
9. Severe seasonal allergies or itchy ears
10. Strong sugar and refined carbohydrate cravings

After reading about Candida, I realized I had to give Plexus a try!  I immediately signed up as an ambassador for the discount and ordered my Triplex Combo.  I knew my issue was in my gut and I needed to get healthy from the inside out.

I continue to use Obagi Clenziderm to wash my face but I've now been on Triplex for 2 months and I can see and feel such a difference.  I sleep much better, I have more energy, my skin is looking great, I'm using the restroom everyday (just keeping it real), and my anxiety is much lower.  I've even got my boyfriend on it and he loves it!  Honestly, I couldn't be happier that I decided to give Plexus a try; it really does work and that's why I'm sharing this with you.  My confidence is back and I'm not feeling that constant embarrassment because of those nasty cysts on my face.  I'm gaining my life back!  Thank you, Plexus!
