My recipe/information blog for those with or those caring for those with the top 8 food allergens, Natural and Free, is up for Top 25 Food Allergy Moms - 2012 on Circle of Moms!
If you want to support me in this, if you have been to Natural and Free and feel it worthy of the title, I'd be honored if you would click on the icon above and vote on my blog or follow this link: http://www.circleofmoms.com/blogger/natural-free?blogroll_id=78. Once you get to the page, find my blog (it's currently at 31, but that could change - you'll see my picture and Natural and Free) unless you use the link which is a direct link to my blogger profile and takes the searching out for you :), and click on the little thumbs up button next to the word "vote". Voting ends October 17th. You can vote once every 24 hours if you wish (so if you vote at 3pm today, you can't vote again until 3pm tomorrow). You don't have to be a member of Circle of Moms to vote (or even a mom or woman for that matter), either, so if you really want me in the top 25, encourage those you know to vote, too. :) Thank you so much!

Oh, and while you're there, check out the other nominees. You can vote for more than just me if you wish, just only one vote per blog per 24 hours. I know I personally have voted for a few of my blogger buddies who are more than deserving of the title. :)
Thanks so much for the support!
In other news...
I'm doing pretty good for the most part, but adjusting to fall weather, as gorgeous as it's been, has been a lot more difficult than I imagined. The cold nights are leaving me stiff in the morning (and causing pain issues more often), and I have developed a head cold of sorts and am currently fighting off a fever (Boo! Hiss!). It's been an adventure to say the least!
I have discovered something new that has lifted my spirits (aside from the votes for my blog which just melt my heart, just so you know :) ), though: aroma therapy! I had no idea that the fall smells were such a relaxing, uplifting thing for me. I have some Wallflowers from Bath and Body Works in their autumn line of fragrances and they simply put me in an amazing mood!
Not only that, but I have a few candles that have lavender and/or vanilla scent in them that I have enjoyed that are also very calming and uplifting. If I'm feeling particularly stressed, I light one and within a short time, I'm feeling better. Promise! It's true!
The other thing that has helped is my new found love for homemade tea lattes like Sweet Chai or Mint. The aroma is divine, and there is nothing like holding a warm mug in your hands on a crisp day, especially one that smells delicious. :)
If you suffer from Fibromyalgia like I do, I would encourage you to look for aroma therapy scents for around the house. You may not find the smell of Chai soothing and lavender may make you sick, but you may notice that the smell of pumpkin makes you smile or apples or berries or something spicy. Go to a store like Bath and Body Works and take the time to smell their soaps, lotions, candles and Wallflowers. They have amazing sales and scents to please almost anyone, so you're sure to find something you like that fits the bill. :)
Aim for finding a scent that makes you think happy thoughts or sends you into "Ahh!" mode. It doesn't have to be a candle or Wallflower if your hubby or family can't handle the smell throughout the home. It can be a soap or lotion that you can get out from time to time. You may find that having some form of aroma therapy is more than a little helpful like I have. :) It's worth a try!
Have a great weekend, and thanks again for reading me and for your support! :)

I am obsessed with the fall scents from Bath & Body Works! I've been burning my candles constantly, and I have my wallflowers all plugged in too. :) I just voted for you. Good luck! And thanks for visiting my blog earlier. :)
ReplyDeleteThank you, Erin! Glad I found you through SITS Girls. :) What an encouragement!
DeleteIsn't Bath & Body Works the best? Even my husband likes the store! He says their soap works better than most brands so he lets me buy it as long as I don't make him use the real girly soap scents. LOL :) I'm more than happy to oblige!
Take care, Erin, and best of wishes to you on the soon-to-be mommy-hood! :) It's quite the ride, let me tell ya!
