Something New

Yesterday and today I have done something that I've never done before...gone to work with not an ounce of makeup on my face. The reason? Hives. I'm completely covered. Yesterday my eyes were swollen and most of my body affected. Today I woke up to even more coverage than yesterday. Anyway, I'm not one of those women who won't step out of the house without makeup on. That's not me at all. But I do usually try to be professional when I come to work and for me, that means a little bit of makeup. But I didn't even bother the past two days. One less thing to do in the morning for now. So, while I'm waiting for the hives to leave my skin alone, I treated myself to a grape slush from Sonic today. Just thinking about it makes me feel better.

That's funny Rach, I was thinking about this topic the other day! Not funny about the hives of course but the no make-up. I've thought about lasik eye surgery but you can't wear eye make-up for two weeks I've heard. I don't know what I would do! Hope your hives go away soon.

I guess the only thing positive about hives is being thankful they are not shingles. Sure hope you are rid of them soon!

Wow...not fun at all! Hope you are feeling better soon.

How did you get them? Did you have an allergic reaction to something?

Hope you are better today! Sonic drinks always cheer me up! Such a good treat!

I feel so bad for you! I sounds like you are having a real rough time with your stomach during the pregnancy and now this. Let me know if there is ANYTHING I can do for you. Also, don't feel bad if you need a day off from work.

I sure hope your hives are going away! Did you rewash your sheets without the fabric softener?

Oh my goodness! I'm glad to see that your hives are gone, whew! I've shown up to work without makeup before just to give my face a break, but I feel very awkward when I do it at work anyways!
