wow! It has been a really long time since I have posted anything on here. It's hard to briefly explain all the reasons why :) I'll get to that later. For today, I'm talking about hairspray people!!
So, I went to church feeling pretty decent today, excited to be there, excited to learn more about the things I believe in and excited to get to know my friends and neighbors. Well..........I made it all of 15 minutes then had to leave and come home. My daughter had to walk me out to the van as I had been exposed to hairspray and was starting an allergic reaction. bad news. so, here I am once again.........alone at home during church.
I have not always loved hairspray. When I was young I remember sometimes getting all fancy for some family event or family pictures and I hated getting my hair sprayed. It was sticky and stinky and always got in my face. Then I got older and fell in LOVE with hairspray! who wouldn't? you can do all kinds of awesome things to your hair, then use this magic spray and WALA it stays that way all day. :)
Until the day I realized this was a MAJOR culprit to my dizzy spells, shakiness, nerve pain, nausea, brain fog, inability to keep my balance and quiet shudders inside my nervous system. HMM. BREAKTHROUGH. Avoiding this one thing can help diminish the number of times I feel this way?!! Not a problem. After lots and lots of muscle testing and trial and error and lots of unnecessary reactions I found a hairspray that I can use and it rocks! (except its dang hard to find and super expensive) However, who wouldn't be willing to make that change to avoid those reactions?
I used to be a junkie so I get why everyone wears it. Unless you are a bubble girl you have no idea what it may or may not be causing in someone else's nervous system! So, I avoid it like the plague. You come over I ask you to not wear it, people stay at our home I ask that you not wear any, OR use mine :) I stay at your house I ask the same thing. I have to avoid indoor spaces in general bc of this sensitivity. School lunchrooms......classrooms......church.........stores.............restaurants..........other peoples houses, vehicles......the list could go on forever. and HONESTLY I can't always avoid these places. I don't blame people for wanting to look and smell nice. I still go to all those places listed above. First I say a little prayer that nobody within smelling range of me has any hairspray or perfume on then I venture into the unknown. Sometimes I do okay and sometimes I don't! It's a fun little guessing game, my life!
It's not only hairspray this problem I face! Laundry soaps, dish soap (Especially DAWN) SO BAD, cleaners, lotions, perfumes, candles (ESP scentsy SO BAD) and so many other random things. Today, I made a connection, probably realized several times before but once again. I have a very weak liver. I have known this for awhile. Livers process toxins and clearly I have no capability of processing these toxins. SO, the answer is SIMPLE...............start my own bubble community. People can come live in my community under strict guidelines of products and foods and fabrics that can be in their lives and homes :) perfect right??
Let me know if you wanna come live by me and be my bubble friend :)
peace out,
Oatmeal girl
