[@AleksandraTadic-yb8gd]

for your eczema! something that helped me is bioderma"s ATODERM it is very gentle and helps soothe the irritation. they also have a cooling option, i find it really helpful so you might want to check it out 😊

[@PippityBop]

Watching your art school vlogs feels so nostalgic, I love them 🥹 congrats on finishing your first year!!! sorry to sound like a naggy mum, (please feel free to just ignore me) but I totally did the same during hand-ins and it got worse every year, to the point in third year where I stopped eating/sleeping almost completely because I was so stressed and felt like I didn’t have time - your body is the most important thing and no grade is worth it, trust me ❤ please take time out to look after yourself. sending love!!! (also STUNNING that you asked out someone LOVE IT)

[@CocoDay]

no you’re so right! i need to be better managing my time so i can actually look after myself 🤦🏻‍♀️ i’ll sort myself out for 2nd year xx

[@victoriaahawees]

I'm currently in my last week of uni and the last minute assignment rush is reaaal 😅 I've been loving your vlogs as I'm also in my early 20s and started uni in September, I can't believe first year is almost over 😭 but thank you for sharing your journey and for making me feel a little less lonely 🥰

[@CocoDay]

it’s gone SOOO quickly right?! love that you’re also starting uni later like me, makes me feel less alone too 🫶🏼 good luck with the rest of your deadlines xx

[@ellieloise9765]

Maaate I lived in these exact halls when I was at uni in manc and it was so tough. That many people and everyone decides to not give a shit. I used to time my meals so I wouldn’t run into anyone! You’re almost done, don’t be hard on yourself about food/exercise right now when you’re coming to the end of the year and working. Please be kind to yourself, uni is really fucking hard!!

[@CocoDay]

omg it’s a nightmare right!! i honestly don’t understand how people are ok living like that 😖 and thank you so much 🫶🏼🫶🏼 xx

[@Sassymouse88]

Oh dear, I feel for you girl! I have had eczema in the past and can confirm, stress is a big culprit. But I've found that using a good moisturiser with colloidal oatmeal in it helped me loads. You can get from the supermarket or pharmacy. I also add lavender oil to it as it is really soothing for the skin. Congrats on finishing up uni! Take care of yourself now please! ❤

[@CocoDay]

thank you anna! i’ve been using one recently that is working combined with not being stressed anymore!! it’s really improved :) x

[@Sassymouse88]

@@CocoDay so glad to hear that it's improving! Keep using the moisturiser even if it clears up completely as it'll help prevent dryness & inflammation in future too 💕

[@phoeberc9722]

I'm currently doing my final exams and the end of year uni stress is literally no joke 😭 but after you are finished it's literally the best feeling ever to sort yourself out and pick back up your routine - I'm looking forward to the video!

[@CocoDay]

good luck to you too!

[@phoeberc9722]

@@CocoDay thank you 🫶🏻

[@thefaeriebaker]

I have eczema, and something that really helps is mixing plain lotion with vitamin e oil (the higher the IU the better) and applying it to said spot

[@CocoDay]

thank you!!

[@lovefromjenny]

It's also my last week of internship then I'm just gonna wait for my graduation 🤭 congrats on finishing ur 1st yr of uni 🎉

[@CocoDay]

ahhh enjoy the last week! 🫶🏼

[@Joana-iy1uy]

I feel u with the flatmates thing :// but loved this video so much! Missed ur vlogs :))

[@CocoDay]

thank you xx

[@kosananuma]

I loved this video, it’s been ages since the last one. Question: Would you be willing to do a Q&A in your next video while you “sort your life out”?

[@CocoDay]

i’ve already filmed it so not this time, i might do a q and a another time though x

[@kosananuma]

@@CocoDay ahhh alright! It’s just been so interesting seeing you transition from the life in Belfast a year ago to now being in school at Manchester. So I’m curious to see how you’re doing and handling all of that. Congratulations btw on ending that 1st year. I graduated a while back and you handing in your assignment brought back a lot of memories. Hope you’re happy and wishing you more happiness 💗

[@youwantthis]

girlll, I would've died if I had to live in that mess all year omfg

[@CocoDay]

it’s not been great :// i just try to spend as little time in there as possible!!

[@jananisathiamoorthy8164]

Try aveeno eczema cream. I got severe rashes during my pregnancy and this healed a lot. Hope you feel better. Missed your reading vlogs. Best of luck to you.

[@CocoDay]

i’ve got the body wash rn and will get the cream too, thank you!

[@mashedmoosyc]

I have really bad eczema and what helps me is I am dairy, gluten and sugar free! It sounds very extreme but basically I'm going through really bad topical steroid withdrawals because I used to many creams lol! Very smart of you to only use it for 7 days! Hope it gets better soon

[@mashedmoosyc]

Also! The dirty kitchen & stress will definitely impact your skin! I've found meditating daily is amazing for me :D

[@CocoDay]

im trying to recover from an eating disorder rn so i feel like cutting things out completely could be too difficult :(( i’ll definitely try to reduce them tho! and the stress is definitely a big factor, im starting meditation again 🫶🏼❤️‍🩹

[@mashedmoosyc]

@@CocoDay OMG I totally get you! I’ve felt the exact same way and my diet has definetly impacted my relationship with food. You know what’s best for you but I love meditating. Sending my love 🫶

[@CocoDay]

@@mashedmoosyc sending love to you too!! 🫶🏼💌

[@CezzL]

I'm so sorry you've had to deal with housemates like that. The randomness of first year uni accommodation can be so awful. Are you moving in with friends for your 2nd year or will you be in the same place?

[@CocoDay]

it really is, thank you 🫶🏼 i’ll be moving in with friends at the start of july thankfully!

[@ugochienyoazu]

I have eczema too!! also in the same places as you caused by stress mostly. Honestly steroid creams aren't it I don't recommend because the eczema comes back. something that's been working for me is limiting my stress and working on my gut health because a lot of skin issues are tied to the gut. Make sure you're having enough zinc, and omega 3s in your diet also! (or as supplements).

[@CocoDay]

thank you for this!! i agree about the steroids, it doesn’t tackle the root of the problem so there’s no point :// i’ll look into better gut health x

[@nisbatris]

Heyy loved the video sm, what app do you use for your zine making?

[@CocoDay]

i used Procreate on my ipad and then photoshop

@@CocoDay great! Thank u, love from Singapore 🤍

[@ChemicalPenguinn]

lol i need to get my life together too

[@Theonlyjacex]

Nice video.. you look soo good when you wake up🤗🤗♥️ Anyways I wanna ask how much you pay for your apartment.. I'm trying to move to manchester aswell so your reply would be very important pls

[@madn4356]

My daughter has that on her arm as well. Anyone have some helpful tips ?

[@CocoDay]

there’s quite a few comments from people with eczema and they’ve all said things like: . use a moisturiser with oatmeal in it . reduce dairy, gluten and refined sugar . manage stress with meditation i’m currently using Grahams C+ Cream which I quite like but I’ve also heard Aveeno do great ones x

[@zeev2627]

Do you plan to make comics (manga) in the future?

[@CocoDay]

i’m not sure tbh, i don’t think i’m much or a writer/story teller so well see

i have an eating disorder surrounding restriction and i have to stop because it was getting worse, im trying to heal first and then hopefully get back to it when i feel strong enough mentally
