Not too long ago, I wrote about how I was trying out Curology. I’m back with a few updates.

To begin with, my skin isn’t that problematic. My T-zone occasionally breaks out, I get some blemishes if I eat too much sugar (just like most do), and it’s on the oily side. Other than that, I don’t have hormonal acne or anything like that. With that being said, my results might be a little different.

After what felt like six weeks (it probably was six weeks), my Curology sample finally came. I had it delivered to my house in the suburbs on accident instead of my apartment. That just increased the amount of waiting time for me to get it.

I eventually got it from home and followed the steps.

The first few days, I honestly didn’t notice much. There was no overnight transformation or anything like that. My skin did feel a little smooth, but that was from the product drying onto my skin.

It wasn’t until about a week and a half into using it that my skin started to change. Again, nothing drastic. I did notice the colony of clogged flesh-colored pores on my forehead gradually disappear. The last time I had those go away, I had to cut out carbs completely (Keto diet, anyone?)

I won’t lie, my skin did feel soft after staying consistent with it. Unfortunately, my free sample (actually $5) ran out and I am waiting for my actual bottle of it to arrive. My skin wasn’t as good when I stopped using it. It’s something you need to keep using if you want to see results or keep your skin consistently clear. It comes with a pricetag, too.

Pet Wellbeing

Much like other pet owners, I pay close attention to my dog’s health. He’s a 10-year-old shih tzu who still thinks he’s only a puppy. The older he gets, the more of a helicopter-pet-owner I become. Since pets don’t live as long as humans, we often worry about their health a little more than we should just because they’re our best friends.

My dog hasn’t had too many health concerns, but the ones he’s had put me through a worrying frenzy. I’m always questioning my mom if she should take him to the vet when the slightest thing is wrong. Since I live in the city and have an apartment here for college, the dog stays with my mom and I miss him dearly.  

My dog has had allergic reactions to certain products. The reactions were scary because we only had him for about five months. This was back when he was a puppy; I was only 11 and I tried to do as much research as I could to understand what was going on.

Pet Wellbeing is a brand that caters to pets will all-natural products. Their products are made with plants and herbs, which means you won’t have to worry about your pet having a bad reaction to any suspect ingredients, much like my dog did.

Products

Pet Wellbeing has two pages of products that are suitable for cats and dogs. I don’t know much about cats, but what I do know is that they’re probably just as sensitive to certain ingredients as dogs are. After my dog’s allergic reaction, I never wanted to use anything on him again. However, Pet Wellbeing has lots of natural products I would look into.

One product that strikes my interest is their ointment for dogs and cats called Itchy Owie Ointment. I think this would benefit any dog or cat in the summer when mosquitoes get intense after rain. Nothing is worse than seeing your dog or cat constantly paw at a mosquito bite and know that they don’t understand why they’re so itchy.

Their Old Friend for Senior Dogs & Cats product would also benefit my dog due to his age. It helps with their joints, energy, immune system, and a few more. This is something I would like to look into for my senior citizen of a dog.

Finding the best diet supplements is always tricky. Throughout my years of eating clean and exercising frequently, I’ve never been huge into supplements, but have tried a few here and there.

I often worry about taking them because some are made with processed ingredients and I don’t like how they make me feel. Some also contain enough caffeine to keep me awake for the next three days. Having that jittery feeling and then trying to go to the gym is difficult because that’s the last thing I want to do when I feel extremely jittery. They make my body shake and my mind and heart race.

Generally, I veer away from the supplements section at any health store just because I am skeptical of what’s in the product and if it’ll have a negative impact on my long term health.

Nutramedix spikes my interest because it’s made from natural ingredients. They stick to herbal extracts from whole-plants. This is a brand I would like to try because it seems trustworthy. The fact that it’s not made with a bunch of junky additives means I can worry less.

Another thing that stands out is that Nutramedix makes some of their products in a liquid form with drops. I have never heard of that until coming across this brand. I thought almost all supplements were in pill or vitamin form.

Personally, I would like to try their Stevia drops because I am a big fan of Stevia. For anyone who doesn’t know, Stevia is a plant that produces something that tastes close to sugar, but even sweeter. It’s zero calories so it won’t break the bank if you’re counting calories. I’m sure the Stevia drops would taste great in an almond milk coffee.
