It’s TMI and class participation time here at B&TB. Woot!
Since spilling the beans on the turkey neck the other day, I’ve sort of overcome my fear of oversharing my faults. So here goes: I’m a picker. Face, nail beds, moles you name it. I pick. And, yes, I know it is bad for me. And, yes, I wish I could stop, but I simply don’t/can’t/fail.
Now, here’s another fun fact about little ’ole me: I’m really (I mean unhealthily, so) into taking direction. I live for excelling in Pilates classes, make sure people notice when I correctly conjugate a verb in French and want preferential treatment at the airport for always having metal, laptop and baggies in the bin before anyone else.
So you’d think, I’d really dig getting scolded by my glam squad. But truth be told: I find it wicked annoying. Look, lady I know that I shouldn’t peel my hangnails. Yes, I realize that I’m only making my complexion worse, Dr. M.D., but I don’t want to hear it. There I said it—I don’t want to hear it. Being scolded by my facialist/manicurist/doctor doesn’t motivate me, it just gets me talking in an outside voice about how much I hate it.
But there must be a reason why these folks do it. There must be some people out there who like to be told what not to do. Tell, me are you a digger or a disser when it comes to the beauty scolding? Swak –Jenna Mahoney

You may like to pick but if you don't here's how I stopped. I keep a hangnail clipper with me at all times. If I see a cuticle that's out of place I run to the bathroom and clip it off. As for my skin, I started using Differin and now there is nothing (and I mean nothing) to pick at. Perfect skin, perfect nails. Problem solved!
totes agree! I despise when the facialist tells me that my skincare routine is all wrong! so annoying!
