A few months ago I shared some of the best products that have helped to transform my acne-prone skin. I have suffered from acne for so long it had taken over my life. I can now say that I have a regime that keeps my skin clear and blemish-free. For many years I have heard that acne-prone skin wasn’t suitable for facial oils due to the fact many were non-comedogenic. Basically, oils would clog the pores and create more or aggravate the existing acne. So I always stayed away from them, until now.

Healing, It’s A Process

beauty, fashion

One thing I hate doing is just laying around doing nothing. It drives me insane but sometimes the body just needs rest. I am currently recovering from my surgery and have been assigned to bed rest. Boy ole boy, I thought was gonna go nuts. If I’m honest with myself I can honestly say it was what I needed. My life for the past few months has been nonstop photoshoots, homeschooling, and entrepreneurship. Not complaining at all but it’s very taxing on the body after some time. This was just what the doctor ordered.

Have You Heard Of Fibroadenoma

lifestyle

Let’s discuss breast health, shall we? This is a topic that is highly marketed yet not thoroughly discussed in my opinion. There are many forms of breast elements that are not highly publicized especially within the African American community. So today I am sharing with you my story of dealing with Fibroadenoma. With the hope that it will motivate you to become proactive with your health, especially your breast health. Today’s post is one I pray you pay close attention too. This journey for me is just the beginning and I’ve decided to share it with you all via my YouTube channel as well. Recently, I’ve been creating video vlogs sharing with you everything from my doctors’ appointments to breast exams. It has not been easy and some days are better than others. But I am prayerful that it will help encourage someone else who may be experiencing the same things.

I have been diagnosed with a large breast Fibroadenoma. What is a Fibroadenoma?  Fibroadenomas are a solid, usually noncancerous breast lumps that occur most often in women between the ages of 15 and 35. Mine happened to accrue at the age of 35. A fibroadenoma might feel firm, smooth, rubbery, or hard and has a well-defined shape. In my case, it was well defined as a smooth round ball shape. When I first discovered the mass, it was like finding a piece of popcorn that sometimes falls down your shirt. You know it’s something there but you keep feeling around until you can find it lol. So, I was shocked, to say the least. It really came out of nowhere. This was early detection at its finest. I usually check my breast and body once a week for changes and marks. I never thought I would find something but I did.
