My house smells like cigars – and I’m a non smoker!

by The Diva

I’m a non smoker trying to live temporarily with two smokers. It’s not working out that well. Not for me that is.

I’ll tell you what happened. I was a smoker. I quit smoking close to two years ago. So did my husband.

However, sometime last fall or so my husband started sneaking smokes and thought he was fooling me. As if I wouldn’t know he was smoking again. I have a super sensitive sense of smell – no not just since I quit smoking, it was there before I quit and it’s very very acute. I could smell the cigarette on him almost as soon as he began smoking again but I didn’t tell him that I knew he was smoking until this past February. Now he smokes open, but only outside.

I think he smokes more now that I know he’s smoking again .. and he smells more.

So now we have this “guest” staying at our house. I knew he was a smoker when he was coming to stay but what I didn’t know was that he smoked cigars pretty much 99% of the time. He goes out buying cigars almost daily! He’s moved in temporarily and now my house smells like cigars because all of his stuff smells like cigars!

He doesn’t smoke his cigars in our house .. but like I said, he smells like cigars and so does everything he owns and that’s gradually seeping in to everything in my home … I’m not liking it.

The next time we get a border … it will be a 100% non smoker!

Skin problems might be an allergy?

by The Diva

I don’t know why I’m having skin troubles. I don’t know if it’s because it’s cooler here now and the furnace is on a lot so the air is dry and that’s irritating my skin, or if something else is causing problems.

I did start some new medications in the last few months – perhaps they are wrecking havoc with my skin? Either way … I need to find some way to control my skin problem. My skin will be ok for a few days or so and then I’ll break out on one side of my face or in a particular area. Right now it’s at the corner of my right jaw just in front of my ear. It’s itchy – like hives or an allergic reaction, but I know it will turn into blemishes. Strange eh?

I’d like to find some kind of natural acne treatment since my skin is so sensitive to chemicals.

Does your skin react oddly like mine has been? I’m really starting to think that my skin problems start as allergic reactions and then turn into blemishes. Perhaps I should be watching what I eat and drink as well.
