You're divorced, stressing over your young daughter's future, and in a job situation that is, at best, "meh." Time to move back in with your parents!

So it went for writer Claudia Lonow, a one-time stand-up comic who has taken that experience, filtered it through a Hollywood lens, and is now letting it unfold on primetime. Her new show, "How to Live With Your Parents (For the Rest of Your Life)," premiering Wednesday night on ABC, is loosely based on her own "boomeranger" story. 

The show, which stars Sarah Chalke (of "Scrubs" fame), finds the funny in an increasingly common side effect of the recession. 

"I moved in a long time ago when the economy was great, not everyone was doing it. I was ahead of my time in terms of bottoming out in my '30s," the executive producer tells Shine.

And while not everyone's family are showbiz people like Lonow's clan -- her stepfather, Mark Lonow, is co-owner of the Improv Comedy Clubs and her

Shine editors road-test unusual products and unbelievable promises to find out what lives up to the hype and what doesn't. Warning: Don't try any of this at home until we do.

My complexion has never been worse than it is right now. Sure, in my teens and 20s I had pimples, but something very different started happening in my 30s – I started developing Rosacea.

PHOTOS: 6 NATURAL WAYS TO GET RID OF SCARS

Rosacea (pronounced roh-ZAY-sha) “is a common but poorly understood disorder of the facial skin” that “affects adults between the ages of 30 and 60…and is more common in women,” according to the National Rosacea Association and the National Institutes of Health, respectively. 

Poorly understood is right: No dermatologist I have ever seen has found a way to get rid of it.

In my case, Rosacea has turned my cheeks and forehead perma-red. It looks like I’m wearing uneven blush, 24-7. It sometimes takes the form of blotches on my neck. It is most apparent when I cry.

The 44-year-old New Jersey parent, who allegedly put her 5-year-old daughter in a tanning booth where she sustained burns, debuted her new look in the new issue of InTouch magazine, on newsstands now.

She told the weekly she feels "weird and pale" without her uber tan but admits, "Everyone says I look so much better less tan."

Krentcil also again denied that she ever allowed her daughter into a tanning bed.

She said, "I would never. She comes into the room with me, but not the booth. She plays with her Barbie dolls while I tan."

As for whether she will continue to shun the tanning salon, Krentcil is of the "old habits are hard to break" school and says it's pretty
