My Living With Psoriasis Blog

Hey all, I was asked by Hydromol to write an article about having confidence with a skin condition. It took me a while to write this article and I kept umming and ahhing about what to write and if what I wrote was good enough.  Finally, I sent in a final piece...annnnddddd here it is!!!! :)  Be Skin Confident, Be Fabulous by Kara Hooper Leave me a message with what you think.  Whilst you're there, read the travelling advice by Simon Jury, it's a great read and very useful advice!!  Travelling Tips by Simon Jury, author of My Skin and I :)

Let’s get involved! So, Healthline contacted me about some programmes that they are running (this was a while ago so I must apologise for being so late to write about them!!!) #pselfie Evvvvvvvvvvvverryyonnneee loves a good selfie these days so they have created a hashtag for all those with psoriasis to get involved and take a selfie of themselves and upload it to Instagram, Twitter or onto their page. They didn’t state that it needs to be showing off your psoriasis, it could just be of you! However, if you want to show it off…then do J Upload the photos to this web-link and for each photo uploaded they will donate $10 to the National Psoriasis Foundation. You’ve got this This programme is a collection of videos that are submitted by those living with psoriasis to give encouragement and words of wisdom to others.

Hey there beautiful people, It has been a while since I have written a post.  I have been a bit here and there in my life, moving countries and what not. Sadly the last thing that I was able to keep up with was my blog. However, that doesn’t mean that I haven’t been thinking of stuff that I need to write about. I have recently moved from a tropical, humid country back to England…a cold, dry country. Whilst it has been a struggle to adjust, the hardest and most stressful part has been trying to deal with my psoriasis flare up. What have I been doing you ask?

I like to not wear makeup as much as possible as I am pretty sure the makeup I use doesn’t help my psoriasis what so ever (I am not very makeup knowledgeable soooooo have used the same stuff since I was about 15!)  but thi...

Hello all you beauties!  I have created another chart from the second poll that I had on my page. There were less votes for this one as I think that I had it on the page for less time overall. However, every single vote is important to me regardless of overall numbers.  I hope that this gives you piece of mind, to know that there are others out there who think and feel exactly the same.  I know that I am lacking in the confidence department, so don't feel disheartened that you are, most of us are!  I do want to pay special note to those awesome people out there that voted "I honestly don't care what people think" - I hope to be in your category one day. I hope we all make it there :)  Let me know if you have any ideas for poll questions. I have put the third one up now, so please go vote! :D
