Hey everyone!

First things first let me just say a big thank you so much for your patience over these last few weeks.

This issue with my eyes and my skin is one I've never had before and it's completely thrown me. It's been painful, uncomfortable and frustrating to the max. It's ruined my sleep and sapped just about every bit of energy I've had and on top of it all we were really struggling to figure out WHY it was happening. But finally, not only do I think we've worked out the cause (or one of them at least), it's also properly healing. A magic combination of hydrocortisone, ice packs and massive amounts of laundry getting done has seemingly done the trick. It's not all the way healed yet but it's definitely on its way.

So yeah, remember when I said I thought it was tree pollen? Well I think that was only part of the problem. I'm pretty certain that a specific fabric conditioner was also involved and left my skin super sensitive and open to other allergens. Since then I've just been caught in a vicious cycle of it starting to improve only for something to irritate it all over again. A fun time.

Anyway, all this is to say that I'm finally getting better and no longer look like I've gone several rounds in a boxing ring. Still a little crusty so no judgement please but better lmao.

Unfortunately, I was barely able to film at all last week so I didn't get to film ahead like I wanted to but at this point I don't even care. I just wanna be back filming and posting so you can expect a regular stream of content this week.

Now I'm really really hopefuly that this will be it but if on the off chance it does flare up again 1. I'll of course keep you guys updated and 2. I'll try and minimise the impact here as much as possible. I'm about to work my little booty off to make sure of it :)

Again, I'm so grateful to you guys for sticking with me and being so patient. Thank you, thank you, thank you.

Now, let me get to work!

See you later!

ps. I finished reading 5 books over the course of last week and made major strides in planning/starting my own so I guess it wasn't entirely unproductive lmao
