Spring Time Means Allergies!

Sprint time is the worst season for me. I hate this season honestly. My allergies are horrible during spring, like when I say horrible, I mean face swollen, constant nose blowing. The whole awful nine yards. Just the other day, I swear I sneezed about a million and one times and then lost my voice. We just moved into a house that had ben vacant for two months before we moved in, so there was two months of dust accumulated on the floors and walls. Needless to say, my first day in our new house consisted of a lot of sneezing and wheezing.
Since spring is just around the corner and that means so are allergies, I made a list of home remedies for allergy relief that has really helped me and hopefully will help you too.

Honey

Local raw honey, it builds your immune system up to what's around you. You can get this at places like Whole Foods. Make sure it is local honey though.

Vitamin C

Vitamin C is a natural antihistamine an, anti-oxidant and antitoxin.

Flavonoids

Flavonoids are found in apples, blueberries, raspberries, apricots, and many other foods. This enhances the effects of vitamin C.

Spices

Most spices eliminates inflammation, spices like, turmeric, cinnamon, garlic, ginger, onions and hot mustard. If you are stuffed up and can't breath, these should help!

Essential Oils/Aromatherapy

This is my personal favorite. Eucalyptus oil diffused into the air really helps open up your airway, so you can breath. Get an essential oil necklace or bracelet for your on-the-go diffuser needs.

Keep home free of pollen

Make sure to wash it off yourself, especially out of your hair and off your animals. Get an air purifier for your home and car. Honestly, the best way to eliminate pollen from your home is to get rid of all the carpet. Carpet holds pollen and bacteria.

Drink Water!

Water keeps you hydrated which keeps you healthy which makes your immune system strong amongst other benefits.

Wear sick mask

When outside or doing house work, wearing a mask will help prevent you from inhaling anything that might make your allergies flare up.

There are many other remedies for allergies, but these are my personal favorites.

-Oh, don't forget the tissues with lotion for your raw nose, preferably the ones with Vicks in them.

Married To A Mechanic: 8 things to expect. 🔧

Since I've started blogging, I've only blogged about my husband personally like once or twice, so this is dedicated to my mechanic husband. Erich has been working on cars since he was about 14 years old, so 20 years. He does it for a living but on diesels. He does it in hi spare time as well so basically, all the freaking time. Here's what to expect if you date a mechanic. Car Talk Mechanics talk about cars like 24/7; Parts, make and model, they even try to explain to you how certain parts work. If you tell them you don't understand, they will explain again, in depth with more detail, which is even more confusing. Either go on Google and learn a little bit or pretend you understand what they are talking about. Oil & Grease White anything is against any mechanics beliefs. I have to clean the walls, counters, appliances, PRETTY MUCH EVERYTHING at minimum of 3 times a week. They are usually covered from head to toe in oil and grease. Honestly, I thin...

Great tips. I like to drink lemon, honey and fresh ginger with hot water. I always find this concoction helpful. Out here in Beijing most people have air purifiers in their homes because of the polluted air.
