  Happy 2022!  Wow, it has been a hot minute since I posted on here!  Life has been super busy lately because there is a little human that I have to take care of now!  👶  We welcomed Baby T into the world June 2021 and it has been a whirlwind of ups and downs.  Motherhood is definitely a rollercoaster ride that is thrilling, scary, and fun all at the same time!  There is so much trial and error and uncertainties.  However, the love is like no other!  I have never felt this type of love before and am so grateful that I get to experience it!  Motherhood has been a bit more challenging because Baby T has unfortunately inherited some of his mommy's eczema genes 😪.  I was hoping that he would not have to deal with itchiness and skin issues, but alas, those genes seem to run strong in my family.  Dealing with a child with eczema is definitely different than dealing with it myself.  I know my threshold for pain and...

My 3 Day Water Fast

Image
I have never done a fast in my life.  I didn't think I would be able to do one, nor would I ever want to...but when desperation hits, it's amazing what you are determined to do.  My skin had been flaring up and there were a lot of open wounds on my neck that just would not heal.  It had been a week and it was still oozing and hurting me, so enough was enough.  Initially I was going to do a 1 day water fast, but my body surprised me by doing great, so I decided to extend it to 3 days .  I also read a lot of research that said that 3 days is the minimum amount to feel some sort of change..you can read more about that HERE .  Below are some BEFORE and AFTER pictures...I'm so so grateful for the healing that took place! Here is a recap of what went down each day: Day 1: I started the day off all gung ho about the fast.  For someone who loves to eat, I could not believe that was how I felt.  I guess my skin was the driving force for me s...

Cold Sores and Eczema

Image
Cold sores, or the Herpes Simplex Virus Type 1 (HSV-1), are a pain in the butt!  And unfortunately for me, I am quite prone to them, especially if I am stressed out or exposed to too much sunlight.  Basically, HSV-1 is with you for life.  Yes, for life. UGHHH! 😪   An outbreak usually consists of a bunch of tiny blisters near your mouth (or nose as well for me) that are really painful.  The tiny blisters will eventually pop and dry out, leaving a yellow crust.  After, it scabs and the skin usually heals up with no signs of a cold sore ever being there.  One thing to note is that cold sores are HIGHLY contagious...and sometimes, they are even contagious BEFORE the appearance of those blisters!  They only stop being contagious AFTER the scabs fall off.  You have to be very vigilant not to touch it and then other parts on yourself.  Also, don’t share food and NO KISSING (hehe sorry hubby 🤪).  The virus then  lays dormant in nerv...
