This weekend… I was poisoned. Gluten poisoned that is. I do not have celiacs, but I do have an intolerance to the sick stuff. Usually it’s NBD if I have a beer or a bite of pizza, but this weekend a handful of chips was the culprit, and they knocked me on my ass.
I was at my godson’s third bday, & my plan (always have one when you’re GFree) was to stick to the tacos, but while in conversation with someone, I remember munching on those damn chips. Next thing you know I am passed out, dead asleep, uncomfortably tired, hands & feet feeling like an arthritic ninety year old.
Thank goodness for my amazing boyfriend who snuggled up with me, turned on Breaking Bad, rubbed my feet & hands, and just let me sleep it all off. Sometimes when your body breaks down and needs all that sleep, you just got to let it happen.
Long story short… I need to do a cleanse, and take twenty more naps.
P.S. DON’T FORGET TO ENTER THE JNB X FASHIONLUSH GIVEAWAY (<— deets there)! Entering is super super super stupid easy, and you can win 2 of my favorite foot pieces/ hand pieces. Ends tomorrow, so get on it lushes <3.

+ Mask Noir i.e. the craziest face mask ever. You wouldn’t think that inside that pretty white tube was a pitch black face mask. Like BLACKEST of black. It’s made with volcanic ash, hence the color, and it’s pretty cool. Leaves my skin looking and feeling bright & refreshed. +
+ Lately, I have been obsessed with people using their fashion accessories as home decor. Boots on a book shelf, purse on an ottoman (how my friend Lauryn did it at her casa), necklaces on the wall, whatever way you do it- I love it. +
+ Ch-ch-check out Edison Mfg Co, a friend of mines custom leather goods company. This weekend he just opened up a rad little shop, which if you live in SD/ are visiting, you must check it out. I currently have him doing a custom wallet for me, can’t wait! +
+ & I ended my weekend getting spooky with the October Paper Source catalogue & season 4 of Breaking Bad. +
I’m on season 4 too! Well re-watching with the bf, so I can get to season 5 sooner!

So good! I am mind blown.
I hope you’re feeling better now! I totally understand the gluten poisoning thing – it’ll knock you down like people without an intolerance have trouble believing.
I know! Thanks for the kind words- definitely feeling a lot better. Finally <3
INSANE! This is my gluten reaction as well and everyone thinks I’m nutso crazy. Any trace and my arthritis flares, i’m irritable, a rash spreads around my abdomen and arms and I get insanely exhausted. Not to mention the stomach cramps.
Its comforting knowing I’m not alone.
It’s insane!! The arthritis is the worst- luckily my boyfriend is sweet enough to rub my feet~ :)
