As we grow older, it amazes me how much we turn into our parents and grandparents. I found myself taking a vitamin out of its jar, putting it down on the counter, putting the cap back on, going to the next vitamin, taking it out of its jar, until I realized, I had the exact same pile of vitamins that I used to watch my Mother and Grandmother take each day with their glass of orange juice! Well, I laughed for a moment and realized so this is what growing older is?

One of these vitamins is for an allergy that just happened upon me at the ripe old age of (insert any number here). ha ha My allergy is to things I’ve used all my life… detergent, soaps, dish washing liquids, and even my shampoo. It’s amazing how you can suddenly be allergic to things when you never had a problem before. It begins as an itch that will not be satisfied until I apparently look like I have leprosy! I had to throw away all things that touch my skin, and buy all new “allergy-safe” items.

In looking for these items, I had to smile knowing that at the same exact time I began my website dedicated to helping our environment, I get an allergy that makes me go to the extreme in my quest. The items I found were not only helping to save our earth by being all natural, eco-friendly and good for the environment, but they are now the things I have to use on a daily basis. Interesting how life works, don’t you think?

So, please help me! I am looking for ALL DAILY USE items that will help me with my new found addicting, scratching, can’t satisfy the itch until there are tunnels leading to some underground sanctuary in my skin allergy! Please post any and all items you think may help me and others on this quest! Thanks everyone!!!
