Coming from a young age, I've dealt with insecurity for the better part of my life. I weighed about 300 pounds and lost 120 pounds. I am currently using GLP-1s to maintain my weight. That journey changed everything, but it also came with new battles.
I've had multiple surgeries with scar complications along the way. I started sharing my solutions for helping my skin, making bad tattoo decisions, and finding affordable options aside from tattoo removal. I share products that I'm using to help fix anything that may be bothering me as far as hyperpigmentation, odor control, acne, achieving smooth skin, and improving dark marks.
Coming from depression, I know how hard it can feel to love the skin you are in. But this is about finding my way, having my way in life, and becoming the person I always dreamed of being. With the help and support of you guys, I'm trying to turn this journey into something that can help others too.
I'm also in remission after having an autoimmune disease, I was diagnosed with POTS syndrome, and I deal with severe anxiety. I am trying to change my life every single day. Every product in my diary is something I've actually purchased and actually used. No fake reviews, just my honest experience so you can find what works best for you on your own journey. This is an open solution for women who suffer with any problems that may be similar to mine. Having a place where you can go to read my diary.
"This diary is for anyone learning to love the skin they're in."
