UPDATE blurrrrghhhh --> (my brain right now)

Hello everyone!

Alright so as you all know I am in college and part of being in college is doing collegy things such as going to class and doing homework. Well since I took a bit of a different approach to college (like community college first) and starting my two years of language my senior year and then changing my major Fall term senior year I have been busy. (I banked on doing my major in 5 five years since I was going to double major in journalism and film but this past fall I dropped journalism and shaved off my course load by a billion, yay for doing what you really want! But I still have that pesky language...)
Basically what I am trying to say but saying it not so well since my brain is all collegy right now is this:

  • I have a very heavy course load right now/working
  • I will be done in twoish weeks (thanks Oregon for getting out forever late)
  • after those twoish weeks my course load will be significantly lighter in my second senior year (lol)
  • I will have more time to spend on you!
So from now until after finals week I will be mostly MIA BUT! don't worry I will not forget about you. After finals I will come back with vengeance, just right now I barely have time to sleep.

Thanks all and I really appreciate your support so far. And in the meantime please go check out OmaxCare! I am doing a review on their products and along with my brain being fried so apparently is my editing software SO look for that first thing when finals have finished killing me, and maybe a day for recovery... But go look at them, they are AWESOME!

So until then be good. See ya in a bit!

Oh Heyyy!

Hello Everyone! I did not forget about you!

Midterms grabbed ahold of my brain and refused to let go until I was no longer a functioning student but more like a shell of where one once was.

Anyway, have no fear I am back!

Updates!
First:
The first couple weeks of my blog was kind of a blur. I was just trying to get as much out as possible to get a strong base to start with. But I have now created a timeline for each week so there will be a schedule of what is coming out each week. Here is what you can expect:
Monday: Post highlighting one food item or company that has worked for me or has shown great strides in being allergy friendly. I love hearing from other people what foods they eat so I thought this would be helpful.
Wednesday: Post highlighting a product non food related that has made my life easier. This could be anything from Epi-Pen holders (coming soon!) to makeup.
Friday: My big post! This post will be where I pick a hot topic I want to highlight and just generally talk about. These will be pretty meaty.
Sunday: Recipes! Yayyy. Since Sunday is the day I treat myself and the one day I don't have school or work I figured this would be a good day to show some different dishes I make!
Second:
I have mentioned in my earlier posts I was hoping to go to Italy this summer. I really wanted to be able to take this opportunity and use this blog to show that traveling with food allergies is possible. However the program was just way too expensive so I have chosen not to do that this summer. Instead I will be staying at school taking loads of classes! Joy! But! Traveling with food allergies is still very much a passion of mine and I really want to further explore that in the future, stay tuned for more to come hopefully!


Thanks a lot to everyone following my blog; the support shown to me has been overwhelming and has left me speechless. Thank you guys so much!
