Friends! It's been entirely too long! My apologies for taking so long to update the blog. I went into rehearsal for Dreamgirls in April, and the rest of my life was put on hold. After closing the show July 30th, I've been spending the past month learning how to be a human again, but I'm back and have so much to share! I plan to blog about my experience playing Deena Jones, but today I'm giving you a good ole Dr. Aron Method update. About a year ago I decided to return to steroids to improve my quality of life. While my skin has definitely improved, everyday I learn more and more how important it is to find a diet that is compatible with my lifestyle, while also healing to my body. I talk about it all in the new vlog below. Check it out and stay tuned for more. I promise to not disappear for 8 months again! Peace and much love y'all.

Hey Emily! Thank you so much for the positive feedback. And yes girl, I understand. I got so frustrated trying out different dermatologists and them not knowing what to do. As far as my diet goes, I'm not following specific parameters at the moment. I've gone on so many super strict diets in the past and they never lasted. I would always stress when I didn't eat the right thing and try and figure out what triggered the most recent flare. It drove me crazy. My focus now is lifestyle change rather than committing to a diet right away. This way I can figure out what works for me, what makes me feel best and what I can maintain.

I'm Lauren, aka Just Du Pree, and I want to thank you for reading. This is a space where I share my very personal journey healing from eczema and topical steroid withdrawal (among other things), life lessons I've learned along the way, and occasionally the thoughts of an awkward Black girl (no Issa Rae). I'm a performer and filmmaker, so if you feel so inclined, pop over here to see what goes on in my mind on the regular. If you like what you see, you can stay up to date with my work here. Much love, friends!
