Well, I survived the whole allergy test process! We discovered that I'm allergic to chemicals found in most shampoos, conditioners, body washes, moisturizers, and facial cleansers. My dermatologist recommended a brand but it is expensive, especially considering how much conditioner I go through with my long hair, so I'm on the lookout for something a little more affordable. Do any of you have similar allergies?
I also need your advice on how to deal with spam on Blogger. I've been getting a lot of comments from "Anonymous" and somehow the real comments on my last post were all deleted last week :( So, if you commented just know that I didn't delete it and I had replied! I love getting feedback from you guys so I'd hate for you to think I was just ignoring you!!!
I've been spending a lot of time baking these past few days. We're having our annual bake sale at work today and I'm also participating in a couple of holiday cookie swaps. So, I thought I'd share some of the recipes I've made or am going to make! They are all Pinterest finds, but I've linked to the original recipe.

Hey Lisa, Have your comments been deleted again? That sucks! I left one on this post earlier- hope you are finding a way to sort out the issues :)
ReplyDeleteYes, they were :( I just removed IntenseDebate so hopefully that will fix the problem!
DeleteThose cookies look great, might try the PB pretzel bites. Are you doing the resolution run this year? We are doing the 5K.
ReplyDeleteNo, I'm a wuss when it comes to running in the cold ;) Have fun though!
DeleteYou just made me so hungry with all those pictures. Sorry to hear about the allergies. Not sure about the spam issue. Hope that sorts itself out.
ReplyDeleteI love holiday baking :) The spam hasn't been a problem since I disabled Intense Debate (knock on wood!)
DeleteI have the same Peanut Butter Pretzel bites pinned...have you made them yet? Any good?
ReplyDeleteI started with that recipe and got lazy so I turned then into cookies. Oops?! lol
DeleteI'm allergic to a lot of stuff, so I feel your pain. I've noticed I have some issues with body washes, but I don't seem to have problems with shampoos and conditioners. I have a lot of hair too, so I wouldn't want to have to buy something really expensive either.
ReplyDeleteHoly cow! The peanut butter pretzel bites sound amazing. I love the salty-sweet combo.
