Answer 1

Stress could be contributing to your skin problems. Be sure you're getting plenty of water. Before you go out in the sun, put on sunscreen to help shield it and protect it. If your skin does get pigmented, find a makeup concealer and foundation that blends in well. To test foundations and concealers to find your color, put just a bit on your jaw line and see how well it blends in the area between your jaw and neck. You want it to blend them together nicely so that you don't have a line.

I also did art in college so I know how important it is to be able to see clearly. See an eye doctor to get the proper contact lenses. You may just have to break down and wear glasses in class though.

There are many meals that can be made quickly and just use one pot and don't take long. For instance, chili. Brown the hamburger, then add your beans, onions, peppers, spices, whatever you want to add. There is also a very good quick recipe on the Campbell's Cheddar Soup cans right now for a cheesy hamburger macaroni meal. For me, I added diced tomatoes. It was wonderful and so quick. Watch Rachel Ray on the Food Network or get her book/magazine for meal ideas that can be done in less than 30 minutes. Microwave meals are an option but usually have high sodium. Salads are good, sandwiches, wraps, etc.

Good luck and get some rest. Rest will help. Take time for yourself.

First of all it sounds like u need some time for urself, to relax. Try to take it easier!
See ur doctor for ur lenses problem because it's not something to fool around with. Same with ur pigmentation - only a dermatologist can recommend u the right kind of skin care product, avoid using just any brand.
Can u get up one hour earlier in the morning to start ur day with a little cooking? There are nice home made meals out there that u can easily make in about an hour, with no rush, then u can eat some and store some for the evening. That's in case u don't HATE cooking, but just don't have enough time to do it.

Just give urself some rest too:)

You do sound really tired and stressed. First, it's really important to look after yourself properly. I know you've probably heard this before, but you need to eat right, drink enough water, get enough sleep and some type of daily exercise. You need calories to do your work, there are many ready made balanced meals in the stores, try some of those, along with fruit and raw veg. which are good for you and don't need any preparation, and some brown bread and butter. How about stocking up on canned soups, apples or any other fruit you like, plus some yogurt? That would be a good light meal for when you are tired or have no time.

For the sun problem, see a dermatologist, they will have some suggestions for you. For now you need to wear a sunscreen and limit your exposure. Maybe wear a hat too.

For the contact lenses, have you seen a doctor? It could be that your eyes are too dry, or you have the wrong prescription. Maybe try wearing glasses for now, just so you can see to do your school work.

Take care and good luck to you.

I go to a school where we have to eat vegan, and I've found that Amy's Kitchen works really well. They make hot pockets, burritos, enchiladas, dinners, pot pies, and all sorts of yummy things. But, they are kind of expensive. You could try getting a bunch of tuppeware containers and spend a couple hours each week cooking up all of your lunches and dinners for the week, then pop them in the microwave and not worry about having to fix food when your tired. Ramen noodles are a standby, but the salt content is high so I'd only eat those a couple times a week. Carry around a nalgene, fill it with water, iced tea, anything that doesn't have a high sugar content like soda. Make a point of drinking from it all day. I don't know much about skin pigmentation, but I really like Kiehl's. If you can go to a counter and talk to the person there I'm sure they can help. All of their stuff is designed for delicate skin, I'm asian so I find their stuff really helps me bc my skin gets dehydrated. They have daily creams that contain spf, so that should help some. As for contacts I definitely feel your frustration, I wear contacts and they are pains on some days, and then they itch of hurt sometiems on top of all of that. Make sure you are cleaning them properly, clean the containers you put them in with some boiling water. Keep your glasses if you have them just in case your contacts are bugging you too much. Go to the eye place and see why your contacts are so problematic. Your prescripation may need to be stronger. Make sure to take vitamins, health food stores carry these packets called emergen-C and they are fizzy drinks when water is added. They get your nrg levels up, and taking a daily multivitamin works wonders for skin and general health. Eats veggies, fruits, and things with high calorie content. Hope things start looking up, best of luck=)

Answer 5

First of all be good to yourself and eat. There are enough easy to prepare meals out there to find fast and inexpensive meals. Also be sure to be taking vitamins as well as eating healthy meals.
Now as far as your skin goes I suggest this: See a dermatologist to determine that your skin condition is something normal. It could be related to sun allergy or another condition. I highly recommend also that you use sunscreen with a high block in it unless you are allergic to that. Put it on under your makeup.
I would see the eye doctor too and find out if your skin sensitivity can be related to your eye sensitivity as well or if there is another reason. Make sure that your eye contacts are taken out every night and cleaned.
I have added sites below for sun allergy and a sunblock lotion if you are allergic to Paba which is in most sunblocks. This one has no Paba.

Answer 6

You need to get a stong sunscreen. They are available in strengths over 30. You should also talk to a dermatologist about it. He may want you to use a prescribed product.

As for cooking, get a slow cooker. You can put your food in it in the morning and when you get home, you will have a good hot meal. I would also suggest that you buy Rachel Ray's 30 minute meals cookbooks.

Answer 7

think frozen dinners. you need your nutrition. as for the skin find a make up with sun protection in it. and your contacts may be bothering you because your so tired. You definitely need to start eating right or everything you do will seem to get more and more difficult and that includes thinking poor nutrition effects your brain . Good luck.
