Hi Ladies,
Last night, I suffered an allergic reaction to something I drank. Apparently, whatever Starbucks is putting in their Skinny Vanilla Latte caused me to break out in hives and have some trouble breathing. So after a trip to Urgent Care, my fingers have returned to their normal size, as opposed to the Andre the Giant size they were last night. But as a result of this mild medical emergency, I didn’t finish any posts for today.
I’ll be back tomorrow with your usual content, plus a little something extra.
Have a great Thursday! xo, Belle

Are you possibly allergic to artificial sweeteners? Many people (including me) have a bad reaction to aspartame.
Belle says:
I don’t think so, I drink diet Pepsi all the time with no problem. But the latte is the only thing that I drank or ate that was different. I usually don’t drink coffee at all, so it was an eye opener.

My eyes once puffed up to the point I could not see out of them – it was an allergic reaction to hand sanitizer. You have my sympathies! I hope you feel better and back to normal soon.

That’s terribly scary. Get thee to an allergist, asap. As someone who was recently diagnosed with food allergies, I have found this organization’s website to be a really helpful resource:

Pancakes says:
Yikes! Hope you’re feeling better now.
I can’t imagine what might be in there that you might be allergic to. I heard they use some flavorant in there that comes in powder form. Maybe it’s something in the stabilizer?

That sounds horrible! Allergic reactions are definitely the worst–scary and expensive. I hope you feel better!
