In the UK it is Allergy week. This has nothing to do with fashion but everything about health and feeling good!
I dealt with a lot of allergies in the past and now. Last year in April I had to go to the hospital for several test, and that wasn't the first time...
Eventually they found out what the problem was and I feel so much better right now. I have a full list of things I cant eat or use but it's for the better.
Sometimes medicine is the only option, but I believe that a healthy livestyle is the number one thing to make you feel better. With or without allergies.
So the photo of this delicious sponce cake is from Jamie Oliver. It is vegan, gluten-free and diary-free and ofcourse delicious!!!

I'm allergic to hazelnuts, cow's milk intolerance, hay fever, dust mite allergy and I'm allergic to perfume and for cocamidopropyl betaine (it took me a while to remember the word). Oh and I have asthma.
The biggest problem was not even the perfume. Because I can use perfume but I'm allergic to the perfume that is use in products like shampoo or bodylotions. So right now I use coconutoil and for me it's heaven! But when I found out that I was allergic for cocamidopropyl betaine it took me a while to get used to that. I had never heard of that substance before, so I will explain...
This substance creates foam in your shampoo and showergels. So to find a shampoo without this substance wasn't easy but finaly I found a dutch brand who makes natural shampoo.
So I had to say goodbye to my lovely Rituals showergels and bodylotions.
If you have problems with your body or skin, please take a allergy test because it can change your live, like mine. My body was covert with eczema and it was so itchy, but now that's gone!
Let me know what kind of allergies you have!
