Hmm… yum, yep, that’s my wonderful pregnancy arm rash rearing its pretty head.
Or as I like to call it, Arm Acne. Not as bad as with Vivien, but lately it’s been driving me nuts. This hot itchy feeling wakes me up at 2 a.m., and I am ripping into my arm. I sleep with the window open for maximum cool ’cause as a Chinese doctor told me when I was carrying Vivien, “You have too much heat.” (It’s much worse to have this in the summer.)
But even when the itching stops when Junior Fab is born, I will have more scars on my already scarred up arms. I know, not the worst thing that can happen to your body… not like a wicked tear… ouch. But I sure would like something that would take these scars off. Gosh, if I was a teen I wouldn’t leave the house… no wonder I’m such a fan of sleeves and spray tans.
On the other spectrum of body art is this Obama nail.
I got it done for my show. It’s a cool method called Minx. It’s like a piece of foil with a picture on it. It doesn’t stink like acrylics and lasts a fair bit. The Obama nails were very popular around the 20th. It’s cool, but isn’t it still nail art??
Seriously, the coolest nail art, ever!
Ugh @ arm acne.
I’d love to know when you’re on your show. Is there some sort of schedule available, you know, so we can critique the designers. Not that average moms know a dang toot about fashion. Maybe online lessons are in store. Or, we can talk arm rashes, your call.
Jessica, you funny! I can dish red carpet all the time. you are right, I should put that on here as well. and it is award season.
arm rashes are one reason I love sleeves. please fat brides, no more strapless dresses!
My show is on Sundays’at 7 and then repeated several times a week. so tivo or DVR the best way to go. We are off a few weekends, like this one due to award specials–which is a drag for me cause then I don’t get paid. You can also see “the fashion team” on hulu.com
Your arm looks like my arm exactly!! My arm rash is driving me to tears-was anything helpful? Any remedies? I have 4 more weeks and I’m at my wits end:(:(
Laura,
I understand. I don’t know where you are but the only thing that REALLY helped was going to a chinses herbalist and putting these mashed up herbs they gave me on my arms. it drew up the puss and the arms started to heal.
I slept with ice packs on my arm to contain the itching and used SARNA lotion which helped very little.
went to the head of UCLA dermatology. no help.
find a Chinese doctor!!!
Thanks so much for the response! I’m in new York
maybe I can find a Chinese doctor in the city
I’m going to go crazy itching!!
yes, I bet you can. the place is lousy with them.
