Wait for me... ?

I am the 16th October. I'm really organised but still have tons to do.

My hair is my main worry. Shoegal please show me a flash of your trial. I have my 2nd tomorrow and have no clue as to what I want (I know what I don't want though ?). I am not having veil or tiara so the hair needs to be something special!

Hey janey your my date twin. ?

Yay - You are the first twin i've found!

Do you also have a 'liitle lady'? My daughter is 2 and so excited!!!

how funny is that my little lady is just coming up 2 1/2 years old and yes shes excited. When she was born on the first night she cried alot but calm down when I called her little lady, i can't explain it but the name just stuck with us.

Nearly MrsJ You are doing well! Not long to go now for us!

I also suffer from bad eczema on my face and just had a huge breakout on my face I normally use vasaline cream and it keeps it under control though i have use eumovate for when its really bad. The other day I had my makeup trial but no eumovate left so went and had the trial and in some ways it was good because we could see how the makeup covered it, before we started she advised me to put nivea on before hand and its cleared it right up so maybe give that a try.

I'm just lookin g forward to it all be over and done with! I finish work tomorrow so I'm sure I'll be excited then!

try and find your local distributor of Forever Living Products. They have a website - https://foreverliving.com. They do a fabulous cream called aloe propolis cream. I use it for my psoriasis and it is fab! I would have kinda greasy spotty skin and now I use it on my face as a moisturiser and it has cleared up the spots really well. I wouldnt say i dont get any, but they are certainly not as bad as before, and clear up really quick! some people also sell this on ebay so if you cant get a distributor online, try ebay. I am a complete aloe convert tho!!

Girlies...we're getting married this month!!

Im working right up until next friday and i have sooooooooooooooooooooo much to do! cry cry cryyyy

Another one to try is emu oil not tried it personally but its been recommended to me by other psoriasis sufferers. I've never been officially diagnosed but I'm starting to get all over my body so should really insist on getting a dermatologist appointment.

I'm getting married in 15 days ? but still have loads to do ☹️ still haven't got a wedding ring for me should really get that on sunday.

Scared and excited feeling...
