Psoriasis and motherhood

I have suffered with a version of psoriasis since I was 8. It has always stayed on my scalp and grows into my brows during big breakouts. I have shared a few times now how I deal with it, what helps and what doesnt. Huge struggle in last 3 years has been my two pregnancies as those really added to my breakouts. 

Three big factors for me in regards to breakout are : sleep, stress and diet. Each pregnancy lead to different sleep patterns, stress and also big changes in my diet. During my second round I actually managed to get my skin into an incredible condition. My first born has started to sleep a lot better and would only wake up one or two times a night. This meant, that I was able to get plenty of sleep. After the initial big change of moving to a different country, I started to have less and less stress. I was not worried about anything that had to do with the pregnancy or my kid. Everything was just really settling down and I was able to take a deep breath and you could really see that in my skin. Also, as far as the diet I have been almost completely meat free with the exception of white meat which is something that really really helps those who suffer with psoriasis and especially my case. I have been drinking a lot of fluids. The summer has been approaching and I was always thirsty so that was great. I also found a combination of two face products that helped to really moisturise my skin. It has seriously been the best I’ve seen in many many years.

 If you are new here, let me introduce you to this little segment I liked to do back in a day and that is to share some of my inspo for upcoming season. It is just the few top pics from my pinterest board -link in sideboard. 
This is a collection of inspiration photos for what I hope to wear, my kids to try wear or do etc. Let's see if my busy mum schedual allows for any of it.

FAFO parenting and my experience

 I am a mum of two. Yes you read that right. If you are someone who has been reading my blog for years now, that will be a shock to you as I haven’t been super active in writing. But hey, now you know the reason for that. 

In the last nearly 3 years I have learned a lot about parenting. I learned about myself, my child, parenting techniques etc. There are many ways to raise your children and you should not let anyone dictate what works for you or your child to be more specific. As a second time mumma I am also seeing that not every kid needs the same type of parenting. My son is 3 months old now and seems to be pretty different to what my daughter was. So who knows what the next year will bring me with him.
