Welcome to Being Just Us
Hiya! I’m Natalie and i’d like to welcome you to my small space in the blogging world, where I share a snippet of my life, mostly around living with the skin condition, vitiligo.

Being Just Us is the space where I open up and share what it was like growing up with a skin condition like mine…..

The first thing I had to do was go back to my childhood, the time when it started and the moment I realised I was different to a lot of the kids I knew….
