Now is the Time

4 Years!!! yup, that is how long has passed. well 3 years 10 months and 26 days if you want to be precise, but regardless, thats a long old time.

You might be thinking - "well maybe she's dealt with her skin and moved on"

Nope.

I'm still dealing with it. One of the reasons I've been missing is because, I was actually thinking 'how can I have a blog about Rosacea acne and what helps it, if I'm not happy with my skin and don't feel like I have a handle on it...'

Like I am a failure or something...

I've gone through some big personal changes in the last 2 years. Something of a transformation, and I have come to realise that I am just a big old scaredy cat in life. REALLY! ... It's probable that most people think I am this aloof and 'got it together' kind of person, and actually I'm just pretending, and inside I'm so scared someone will find out, and so I don't share my life with people, and in the process I lock the whole world out.

Woooah. That got a bit big there.

Nonetheless, in an ordinary everyday sense, it is true.

So, I want to re-align my blog, because our skin is just a little part of who we are. There is sooo much more to life, and while some of us have to deal with 'skin stuff' I want to talk about much more.

So this is where you get me, and there is some movement in life.

What am I really about?

Health
Fitness
Creativity
Family
Friends
Community
Finding joy in life
Discovering love

There you go. Welcome back.

Week 3 - Colon Clense

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.

1 Week In

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.
