I HAVE COME TO AN AGE WHERE I REALIZE THE DAMAGE OF MY YOUTH HAS SPRUNG ALL OVER MY FACE LIKE A SCARLETT LETTER TO A WHORE. I see dark circles under my eyes, the literal baggage of a divorce that had I simply bought a land rover and kept my mouth shut, would have cost me less money and had better performance.  There is nothing youthful feeling about the solar system of acne that has sprung forth from the oil slick of what the nice people around me like to call a ‘glow.’  One should be able to tell where their face stops and their lip gloss starts.  Though I grew up in the polar opposite of the sunshine state my face is sprinkled with what apparently hormones and age illuminate as dark spots and freckles.  I am only 33.

In my early twenties I was promiscuous, finding myself laying on random tables monthly, trying to find anyone who may fill the void, but to no avail.  I still wandered aimlessly, stripped of my youthful self confidence and optimism.
Then, like any love story, she walked into my life when I least expected.  Having finally given up the search I was finally found.  I do not exaggerate when I say that upon meeting her a faint light encompassed her body, the subtle glow of an angel.  It probably was the reflection of the sun off the window at Starbucks, but I often tend to over exaggerate to make my points.  Words like ‘dermaplane’ ‘microderm’ and the like sprung forth from her mouth like a poem from a lover. I was already deeply infatuated with the idea of her, now I just had be allowed into her lair for the delivery of the much anticipated happy ending.

Shannin far surpassed what little expectation I had, having been around the block a time or two. After the recommended product regimen my dark circles have been erased from my face, I wake up in the morning and no longer frighten my pit bull. Having used the recommended acne products my face was void of pustules in literally 3 days. And the facial peel – oy vey! I have yet to do the recommended more advanced treatments, but this girl, I am telling you, can do no wrong.

(Plus, she is really, really pretty. Well, she did model in Milan.)
