Allergies, can't leave home without them

Anytime I talk to people about my allergies they always say how much it must suck to not be able to eat chocolate or nuts or to not be able to pick all the beautiful flowers we have on the farm. Yes, all those things do suck but honestly I don't really mind too much that I can't eat chocolate or nuts or whole grain. I don't even mind so much having to avoid the beautiful flowers. What I really hate about my allergies is that I can't snuggle my cats or any long haired dogs without hives. I hate that I can never leave the house without my inhaler, benadryl, or my epi pen. I can't just try new things anymore. I have to be fully prepared at all times to fix any allergic reaction that might occur. I was lucky as a kid I was only allergic to dairy and chocolate. That didn't really have a huge affect on my life. My brothers got a chocolate candy bar I'd get nerds. That was about the extent of it. I could still run around outside and play. I could still ride bikes and make mud-pies and play with snakes. I never thought about my allergies. I miss that but I'm also thankful that I had that. Some kids are born with really bad allergies. Some kids never get to do that stuff. I'm 31 now and I don't need to be playing in the grass. What I do need is to be able to keep my pets around me without taking medications. I need to be able to just run out of the house with my wallet and keys and not a huge diaper bag like purse. I need to not be known as the girl that gets sick so easily or the girl with the bad  lungs or the girl who is allergic to life. I need to be able to be me and have fun. So allergies if you could kindly vacate the premises I would appreciate it!

Rohto Ice Astringent/Lubricant/Redness Reliever Eye Drops Review.

I recently tried some new eye drops. I must admit I was drawn in by unique packaging. The bottle is oval shaped and fits well in a purse pocket. Eye drops may be a boring subject for most of you, for me however they are very important. I have horrible allergies and until a recent trip to the optometrist I wasn't aware that my eyes do too. I have since tried expensive prescription eye drops and many over the counter drops for allergy relief. My eyes are constantly itchy which makes them swell and I have a bad habit of rubbing them which just starts the itchy back up again because I'm adding more irritants to my eyes. Nothing has ever provided relief to more then one issue. Drops tried until now would help with redness or itchiness or swelling but never all three. Until now. These drops are amazing! They have a cooling sensation which I thought sounded strange but it barely stung a little when first going in. Then all the itchiness was gone. I looked in the mirror a few minutes later and all of the redness was gone. I haven't seen my eyes look this white and healthy in years. I had no swelling anymore. My eyes felt like they were free of debris for the first time in years. They feel just amazing. Perfect mix of moisture and astringent! I can honestly say I don't think I will ever buy any other eye drops. These have even helped get rid of a stye I had. The best part of this all is that where my normal over the counter drops cost between fifteen and seventeen dollars. These bad boys cost me just over five dollars. .4 fl oz. I know I will use these faster because I keep reaching for them anytime my eyes start to itch at all. I use them 2-3 times a day! I never thought my eyes could feel so nice! I highly recommend these to anyone with eyes. Thanks for reading. Hugs and blessings! -Steph
