giving up chocolate is so hard for me!
I was just as addicted to diet coke as I am to chocolate but I was able to give that up! It’s really frustrating!

and I have in total: 21 moisturisers for my face/body. I do need more vaseline or lip balms though because i’ve only got like 4.
Oh actually make that 23! I forgot about the ones for my eczema! haha

I just started my treatment yesterday.
Anyway i’ve been told my skin is going to get really, really dry so i’m preparing, and this morning I moisturised my whole body. haha I never do that. My eczema on my arms already flaired up before I started my treatment so I know thats going to get bad. And so has my eczema around my eyes and I get cracks around my mouth(I think it’s called Angular Cheilitis) but they are okay just now. I have Hydrocortisone 1% for my eyes and Clotrimazole 1% for the sides of my mouth.
So hopefully I’ll be fine!

What rubbish skin I have!

Tips for going to Australia include:

DON’T LEAVE HOME WITHOUT…

A willingness to use ‘mate’, ‘no worries’ and ‘she’ll be right’ liberally

An appetite for seafood, steak, beer (other than Fosters), barbecues and fresh fruit

A travel insurance policy covering skydiving, bungee jumping, diving, skiing, abseiling and white water rafting

Warm clothes because winter does actually occur in Australia…well, down south anyway

Extra-strength insect repellent to fend off merciless flies and mosquitoes

Sunscreen, sunglasses and a hat to deflect fierce UV rays

A towel and bathers/togs/swimmers/swimming costume/cossie/trunks/Speedos/budgie smugglers…for the beach

Good maps for outback meanders and binoculars for the wildlife while you’re there
