breaking news... Soap is just soap.

I went to my doctor a couple of weeks ago because I needed to update my referral to go and see my allergy specialist. While I was there she noticed that I kept clearing my throat.... a lot... She asked to examine my throat, I was like you can, it has been sore, but I would much rather you look at this acne situation. My throat I can deal with. Yes, I am vain, it really has been no secret... really, ever. She started taking a look, "Danielle, your skin.. When did this start?" My response about May. Here it is August.

My doctor is also vain, she gets it, that is one of the reasons why I love her. She comes in to her office everyday dressed very sharp, and well put together. She then asked me what I was using on my face. My response, well, I was using Clinique - in case you had any doubts... But, then I switched to L'occitane because I have heard people rave about it. She looks at me and said, "Danielle, soap is just soap, stop buying the expensive stuff, use a mild dove or Eucerine." I was so shocked! Imagine me, being told, soap is just soap, to stop buying my Clinique, wow. I like this information. (It helps with the Dave plan).

So, I get the all clear from the doctor she tells me I have another sinus infection, yea ok, and hands me a prescription for my face! YAY! Oh, yea and antibiotics for the sinus infection.

I drop my scripts off and run and errand return to pick everything up, and my antibiotics are two dollars and some change, and my face script... $35! lol, it is just soap! I might need to get clarification from my doctor on expensive... However, I have been using this soap for a couple of weeks now, I finished my antibiotics, my face has cleared, amazingly. AND bonus, I have already gotten a SECOND sinus infection this month! YAY! So, I started another round of antibiotics. But, at least the face is clear. {AHHHH, sweet sigh of relief}
