You can get through without the snowman pieces, but it's going to require additional practice. You should definitely at this point have quite a few healing items, and I believe the best item (aside from the snoman pieces) is the cinnamon bun. Even that should only heal about half of your life, though.

Some people have claimed Sea Tea helps. I can't vouch for it myself, but perhaps it would be worth getting for the red soul sections.

You should have the ballet shoes and the tutu for weapon and armor, respectively. You want to be attacking each turn, dealing as much damage as possible (i.e. working on getting perfect hits as many times as you can). Learn the pattern of attacks and only heal when you know you won't survive the next attack. Never waste turns healing.

No matter what, you're going to have to learn the attacks and "git gud." Restarting and getting the snowman pieces might give you a little more breathing room on your attempts, or you can just brute force it with what you have now.
