"I started getting acne all over my face, chest, back, and arms in eighth grade," Racine says. "I wore long sleeves in the summer and wished I could just get new skin." After seeing five dermatologists (!!!) and trying antibiotics, a retinoid, light therapy, and thousands of dollars' worth of topicals, Racine still had persistent acne. Finally, in her mid-30s, she met Dendy Engelman, MD, a derm at Shafer Clinic in New York City. "She gave me the right dose of antibiotics, plus topicals and AviClear-an in-office laser treatment," Racine says. Combining regular facials, a cleansing regimen, diet changes (she cut out dairy and swears by celery juice), and meditation to manage stress, she noticed big improvements in three months. "It's not flawless, but it's healthy, and I'm so happy where I am now."

Goodbye to All That - Burdened by the weight of wouldas, shouldas, and couldas, a former compulsive goal setter discovers the freedom of giving up.
Don't know about you, but this time of year, with the back-to-school sales and newpencil smell in the air, always makes me want to reinvent myself. When I was a kid, every fall was another chance to cast aside the embarrassments of the previous grade and turn into the totally cool individual I was born to be. (I'm still waiting.) Now it's another chance to launch my own version of New Year's resolutions. Let's call it my Fall Agenda of Improvements and Laudable Successes (a.k.a. FAILS). I look at running gear and consider signing up for a marathon. I invest in a new skin care regimen. I stock up on accordion files so I can finally get my papers in order.

Go With Your Gut - Each of us has a little voice inside that knows more than the conscious mind. It's called intuition, and it deserves your attention.
Cognitive scientists, who study how human beings think and reason, generally define intuition as knowledge gained without rational thought, and they believe it's a natural part of how our brains work. Humans have two main ways of absorbing information. One is a slow, deliberate process, in which we methodically analyze details for instance, comparing two laptop models before buying. The second happens almost instantly, and the insight feels like it came out of the blue. In fact, though, it's based on data we've gathered subconsciously over time and, in a flash, connected with our past experiences.
