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.

Sunshine Vox Box

I got my Sunshine VoxBox a few weeks ago and it had a lot of great stuff in it!

The smell is kind of strong but it fades quickly. Unfortunately it's not heavy enough for my super dry skin, even with the summer humidity. This would be great for people who want light moisture without getting it on their hands or leaving a greasy feeling. Sinful Colors Nail Polish in Ocean Side: I love Sinful Colors nail polish. It comes in a huge variety of ...

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...

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.
