General Talk on Guttate Psoriasis

Hey everyone, 

About a month ago I was diagnosed with quite a rare condition and in this post I've opened up about it.. shared my story, given tips and advice on how to treat it for others going through something similar. 
The point behind this is to help others, to be there for people who have been effected by this condition and who need someone to talk to or listen to. 
When I googled and looked up the condition when I was diagnosed, I could find a lot of information on it but nothing that really made me feel any better whatsoever... and I was really surprised that on instagram there were only about 170 posts on the condition. What helped was seeing other peoples images and comparing them to my own, reading their story and just knowing that there are others out there going through the same thing as me. 

So here it is... 

A vlog about a condition as few as 2% of people suffer with...

Night Terrors, Sleep Walking, Hormone Imbalance and Changing Your Life

I've started to get night terrors again. In the past, I've always had someone next to me to grab me by the shoulders, calm me down and soothe me back to sleep. Now, I have no one. It was my very first experience of dealing with it alone. On Monday night I fell asleep early, around 8pm. I curled into bed with my hot water bottle by my feet and was grateful that a hard day was coming to an end. I'd resigned from my job... tears had been shed. I'd made the big decision to leave Cape Town where I had tried so hard to build a life for myself. A huge part of me felt (feels) like a failure. So needless to say, I was exhausted, falling into a quick, dreamless slumber. Then, suddenly, I shot up in bed... heart hammering out of my chest, gasping for breath. I was literally terrified. Even today, I can't quite figure out what I was doing but I think I thought there was something in the bed with me. I started throwing the blankets around, looking for 'something.' When ...

Honesty Entering 2015

What is a blog if it isn't honest? I think a lot of us bloggers set up an account, brag about our outfits or latest beauty products, share bits of our materialistic lives and gush about how fabulous and glitzy we can be (I'm just generalizing here by the way. There are many of you that I absolutely love to keep up to date with that have actual interesting things to say!)  Well, it's a new year in 1 day and 11 hours and I have something to admit. I haven't been honest with any of you. You see... 2014 was a pretty shitty year for me for lack of better words. In fact, they are the perfect words - because it was shitty. Yet here I was trying to coax you into trying some silly horse shampoo or publishing a post about buying a pair of bad quality shoes every month to show to you like it really even mattered?!  There were a small collection of 'real' posts I suppose - although I never really gave too much away. For example, there was the time back in June when my best ...
