wonder what this is?? it's a disease in the making...i've hesitated to share the following photo, mostly for my personal pride, but after much contemplation decided it is all for the better to share. beginning in october i started to notice these random spots all over my body-- typically on my hands, wrists, feet, forearm, shins, calves, ears, and then one day my face-- to which i diagnosed myself the "quasimodo disease."
unfortunately it came just one week early to halloween-- it could have been an award winning costume.
unfortunately it came just one week early to halloween-- it could have been an award winning costume.after two months of what the doctor diagnosed as "hives" or common allergic reaction, and two weeks of writing EVERYthing i ate or put in my mouth, nothing seemed to match how many new spots i was receiving a day. the more i itched, scratched, the bigger the spots spread... i truly concentrated on NOT scratching, but who can control that in the middle of the night!
until one day, it dawned on me, two months ago i purchased this new refill, nothing fancy hand soap. to which i have now dubbed DEATH IN A BOTTLE. yup. after not using this soap anymore, i've had ZIP ZERO ZILCH... NO hives. the pieces all made more sense after this blessed epiphany... once i had the hives i used the soap ten times more to wash my hands of the cream i was using to stop the OUT OF CONTROL itching and swelling. 
i began to wash them even more when they were getting worse for fear of spreading them to myself. when my feet are cold i habitually wash my feet in the bathroom sink and wash them with the handsoap to warm them up. and the day i woke up as quasimodo, the night previous i used the simple handsoap to remove my make-up from sunday.
nothing soft about this!

nothing soft about this! alas, this is my plea to friends and family... please don't purchase this hand soap. not sure any of you would have the same reaction, but who wants to find out? and, i'd like to be sanatary, if this is all you offer for handsoap then you can guarantee i won't be washing my hands. and i'll be sure to wipe my hands all over you ;), your children, and your little dog too...

omg, that is crazy, this was a sweet story though. Your poor face! You were quite the detective to figure out that it was the SOAP - I will NEVER buy that! thanks for the memo
Yikes! I wonder if it was an allergic reaction specific to you . . .
It's interesting to see you without a perfect face. I don't like it; it makes me sad. :(
holy cow! love the new look. if you ever need to disguise yourself, you now know a quick transformation in only a few washes away! Hope you are back to your cute self.
OMG! Good job, Sherlock! And the Drs did so much for you. Ha ha ha Good thing you were efficient to follow your routine. I can't believe you figured it out and it was SOAP! We were thinking food, bugs....and it was SOAP! Crazy! I won't be buying that! LOL Glad you're feeling better! Love you!
