Health Post: Further Update on my Psoriasis: *Pictures*

Hi everyone,

Last year I done two health posts on my Psoriasis which you can check out here  and here is a review of a product I was sent if you haven't seen it yet and I just wanted to give you guys an update on how everything is for me and let me know about yours too? I was very insecure on posting pictures until I realised after I chatted with some people that it may be a bad idea to be so insecure because I want to help people stay positive and be confident in there skin, so I hope the difference in these elbow pictures really help.

Above are two pictures of my elbows Left and Right and as you can see my left one is not at all bad but when you see my right, it was really bad beforehand until recently I started using Dermalex again and it's clearing up so well. I actually see parts of my skin through my psoriasis which makes me feel so happy and confident when wearing t-shirts as people often just stare at me like I am an alien or something, it's quite rude I always think but I understand as they just question what it is and it might gross them out but when it's summer I am in no way wearing a cardigan or jumper just to make others happy. I really want to credit this product because I used it last year and it helped, but I stopped using it after a month or two because I lost track with Uni work and everything was building up too much stress on me so I just brushed it to the back of my mind.

I have it also on my scalp which can make me so insecure when I want to brush my hair fully back up in a bun or just back with a pony tail, braid etc. but recently again I ordered some new scalp treatment and it's really working, I have to say I have a rather rubbish phone so the photo quality is some what poor but I promise this treatment does work, just please take my word for it.

You can clearly see it on my forehead and slightly on my hair which is hard to stay on top of all the time as I am not always in front of a mirror but it has cleared it up so well and I have also tired to stop itching it as much because that's when it peals and it's not letting the treatment settle. I know there is multiple other serious treatments out there that can get rid of psoriasis but I don't want to risk the heavy symptoms or conditions that can be received afterwards as I have read on so many websites and heard from people that have it that the side effects are so underrated as everyone wants rid of it quick they don't want to even think of them which in my opinion is ridiculous. I want to take my time and also help my diet out as I am not the fittest person in the world or healthiest.

Below are a further two images of my knees that I will later work on after my elbow is done clearing which won't be too long now if I stay on track with not too much sugar (chocolate haha) in my body and less food which will be hard but I am willing to give this a proper try so people can get a further understand of what this condition does and to help people realise that some treatments may be worth that extra hard earned money.

       

I have done a my into depth with it on my first post so didn't want to just jump into that again I thought why not show the pictures which has taken me nearly a year due to insecurity but if it will help others then I want to do it. It can be such a big deal with someone that has psoriasis to wear a skirt, dress, t-shirt with no jumper etc so if you see someone that may have this condition 1. Do not stare at them and 2. If your friend/family member etc asks how they look tell them outfit wise don't say how they look with their psoriasis because that shouldn't matter. Bring that positivity to your lives and others around you!

The Products that I am rambling on about in this post are listed below and as I was sent a free one before I wanted to let you guys know that Boots do it as well and I will have a link below for that. If this post has helped you then please let me know or let me know if you want to know anything else and I will try my best to update regularly on this Health matter, also pass it to someone you may know that it could help.

Emma Stone's Revlon Lipstick Butter and Lipstick Balm Stain

I know this isn't fashion, but why not add a little beauty into my blog..the perfect first post would be on Emma Stone of course, who just recently has being doing some work with Revlon on make-up. Emma is such a stunning girl and a lot of girls look up to her like myself so it was good to see her getting into something like this because normally I'm not a fan of the whole "celebrity" make-up stuff because it normally is crap and doesn't last but I wanted to give this a shot as I heard so many good review's. I was in Boots today and I was doing some testers and I honestly fell in-love with the bright pinks more than any other colour and started to get petrified as I thought there was no way that colour would suit me but surprisingly it actually did. 

I bought the Revlon - Just Bitten Kissable Lip Balm Stain : "LoveSick" and it really does stay on for longer than I thought it would, normally with lipstick at least once a girl gets it in her teeth and it's nasty, but with this crayon like design you can put it on perfectly to suit you as you are in control of the crayon. As someone said in a comment on the website "Great for lipstick-shy" because a lot of people are afraid of bold colours but this one gives you a nice glossy feel but doesn't stick on your hair!

I also bought the Revlon - ColorBurst Lip Butter : "Sweet Tart" The buttery texture makes it as a lipstick, lip balm and lip gloss all in one, it is very moisturising and has very good pigmentation. As you can see above it isn't that bright but again it stays on for longer, in the picture above it looks like quite a light pink but it's not actually, it's quite bright more like fuschia. 

Both Priced at £8

The picture above is the packaging it comes in and I definitely recommend to all and not just beauty geeks!

I know it's not that nice to be zoomed up into somebody's lips but I just thought it might give more girls a better idea of whether or not if it's their thing to buy.

Wrapping Up For Winter - Fashion must haves!

Are you starting to feel the cold air in the mornings when heading to work and college? I definitely am, so I thought I would make a winter checklist of all the clothing I just might need during the chilly season. Not too expensive, but definitely not so cheap that my new jacket turns out to be so thin that I get drenched in the rain, I’ve tried to go for a happy medium on the prices.

I know most people now prefer online shopping, but I do like going the odd trip into town, because I can try my picks on there and then rather having them delivered to my home, hating them and having to return them, only to go through the whole cycle again. If you think I’ve missed anything from my checklist just leave a comment and I’ll add it in!

Kylie Jenner spotted in a Rock-ish styled outfit

I just had to post about this outfit, it was definitely my favourite look I have seen her in. A rock-ish feel to it as well, I had seen pictures of Kylie Jenner being papped when she was out and about with some of her family in New York and she had on a blue polka dot blouse with a black leather skirt. She had on a pair of black socks and leather boots. I have always loved her style but this one stood out to me recently. It's definitely an outfit that is her taste, bold and it makes her stand out. The tabloids sometimes give Kylie and her sister Kendall who is also being papped in the picture also some criticism about their choice of outfits because of their age but I think they look gorgeous and I suppose not just that, the girls are being papped everywhere they go so they might want to feel that extra bit good.
