The Fresh Start

It's September 2013, I am a mummy to 1 little girl, settled and living in Essex. I design freelance for fashion companies, and have had a few months work this year, but presently experiencing a quiet phase.  I have been run down for a few weeks,  suffering a cold and general tiredness and low mood. It is no surprise then that my skin is terrible, and the dreaded acne rosacea is all over my face. my diet regime is pretty slack and I've not been to the gym for months. I know full well that all of these things also lead to a general lowering of mood, and  limit my ability to function and enjoy life. Its time NOW for a restart. the cold is passing, its September, a time of new beginnings.

In the past I would have turned to my trusty Sher skincare products, and regime to give me a fresh start. but now they are gone, and I am alone in a sea of advise and information about how to treat this condition.

I have a few cornerstones to base my plan on, and beyond that, I hope to find the answers through diet and herbs. In my experience, the best approach is to introduce 1 new idea at a time, in order to determine its effect.

today is Day1.

W/C 13 April 2015 When Sue Guild spoke to me last week about supporting gut health, she also mentioned a condition called 'leaky gut' I did some digging about on the internet, and found out more. While I don't suffer from many of the conditions that are characteristic of leaky gut, or Candida, Rosacea is cited as a possible sign of infection. Candida is a naturally occurring yeast, that resides in the gut. If it overgrows and is fed with sugars and yeasts, it can cause problems, and lead to leaky gut syndrome, where it attacks the gut lining, and causes toxins to leak into the bloodstream. The toxins have to go somewhere - and via the skin is not unheard of, others suffer with eczema and Psoriasis. I got a book about it, called "The Candida Diet Solution", by Sandra Boehner. It arrived while we were away visiting family, and having a wonderful sunny weekend with all the kids. As soon as we had unpacked the car I literally devoured the book, and read with gr...

Starting from Scratch

Well, not quite from Scratch, but since my economic situation has stopped my regular light treatment, and as my skin gradually is reverting back to more frequent flare ups and redness, I want to take it on, and find some sustainable lifestyle remedies. BASICS I can easily bring in a few healthy basics.. things I know would help but am not doing.. DIET 1. 2 litres of water a day 2. quit dairy 3. quit sugar 4. quit caffeine LIFESTYLE 1. daily meditation 2. keep fit That's my goal this week. Sounds like a lot. All this coupled with some homeschooling, which I have never done before. SO - thats a lot of change in one week. maybe I'll stick to doing my best and keeping a food diary to see where I can make changes. here goes.

I am having a terrible day today, feeling so miserable. It might be because I'm being quite strict with my diet and am having withdrawal symptoms... either that or I'm starving. My skin has improved a little, although still getting a few fresh pimples every day. its going to take time.
