Filippo Berio Olive Oil


Influenster sent me coupons to try these Filippo Berio olive oils a few months ago. I cook a lot using olive oil but I'd never tried these particular items before. I used these both for cooking and mixed with herbs for a dipping sauce for bread. While the Delicato was fantastic I wasn't a fan of the Robusto. It was far too strongly flavored to use as in dipping sauce but it was okay with stronger flavors like tomato sauce and garlic. I don't know that I would ever purchase these simply because the price point is too high for anything but a finishing oil and I'm not particularly interested in using it that way.

Disclosure: I received these products complimentary from influenster for testing purposes.

There was an incident...

Yesterday was shot day. Three pens, as expected, no big deal. Except one of my pens misfired. The needle didn't even touch the skin. I pressed down, counted to ten, pulled it away, and the Humira started spraying. I put my hand over the end to catch to fluid so that it didn't spray all over the carpet. According to the Humira rep with AbbVie this is a normal mechanical failure. I explained the incident, gave them some info from the package, and as soon as they confirm with my doctor a new pen will be on the way. I have extras in the fridge, so no lapse in dosing. Still, injecting is anxiety inducing enough without equipment failure. The other problem: I noticed two lumps in my right arm pit on Thursday morning. Around 9 AM it was the size of a ping pong ball. I sat in Sus' house all day while she cleaned, unable to help her because the building pain was just too much and movement would only make it worse. By dinner time it was roughly the size of a tennis ball, and more...

Clairol Hair Food and ELF Skincare

I pocked these up at Target because I had some Cartwheel coupons. After a few weeks of use I can say the shampoo is fantastic. It leaves your hair clean without weighing it down. Unfortunately the conditioner isn't heavy enough for damaged or color treated hair so I usually have to use a leave in conditioner spray after. The shampoo and conditioner together do work well to clarify if used intermittently between other shampoos. They also smell fantastic and I do use them whenever my hair feels heavy from product buildup.  The ELF skincare is great for the price point. I'm not sure if it's scented but if it is the smell isn't strong. I loved the serum and used it up quickly. The eye cream and face cream work well but it wasn't hydrating enough for me. It might work better for someone with combination or oily skin.  The ELF beauty blender is excellent. I've used it many times and I love it. It works incredibly well and is much cheaper than the n...

Humira, Life at 120MG

I took two pens on Thursday (6/29/17) and another one today (6/30/17) and I am EXHAUSTED. No idea if it's helping yet, but the shots seem to make me hungry. Reminder: I am on Humira for Crohn's Disease, Hidradenitis Suppurativa, psoriasis, and polymyalgia rheumatica.
