Evening thread, I have missed you my pretties

Re: Evening thread, I have missed you my pretties

  • Can I bathe in teething gel?

    I've been doing the ice packs. They were the only thing that worked this weekend. It's just hard to put an ice pack on my legs (that are the worst because of the skeeter bites) and then my hands, arms, etc.
  • Hi. Post and run but I miss you ladies. In laws keeping us busy. Two more days.

    <div>That'd be a lot of teething gel.</div><div>

  • angel,
    Are you worried about redness or peeling from your sunburn? Because if it's redness, then I suggest one of these:

    http://www.sephora.com/even-better-concealer-P310734?skuId=1410976

    Both work really well for my rosacea.

    Also, I've read a few reviews that this has worked well for men:

  • Hi all. I'm being incredibly lazy today, I've napped off and on and listened to the rain outside. It's been a nice break from last minute wedding stress :)

    Birdie, I can't imagine havig itchiness all over like that. Hoping you feel better soon!

    <div>It has been pretty fantastic, I must say. Though I feel like a total bum for being so lazy - I've just got nothing to do today.</div>
  • Eagles, your hair looks amazeballs.
    Birdie, I find oatmeal baths help.
    Waiting to hear from FI about what he wants for dinner.Tonight is laundry night since I didn't get it sone over the weekend, and our energy plan I need to wait for off-peak, which is 8PM here.

  • Birdie, I've heard Apple Cider Vinegar organic with the mother works.
  • Birdie, I'm more worried about the peeling since I think the redness will really go down by tomorrow, but if it doesn't, I may have to make a trip to Sephora. Thanks!

    Hi everyone,

    I'm still at work.  They are starting construction on the highway I take home in an hour, so I don't know how it will effect my drive.  I'm hoping it won't be bad.

    Eagles, I love your hair.  It is so pretty.

    Birdie, I am sorry to hear about your itching.  I can't imagine itching everywhere like that.  I get irritated enough if it is just a leg.

  • Evening. Birdie, that stinks. I hope you find some relief.

    H and I have no plans tonight. I kind of want to go to a movie, so but we'll see. Movies are so expensive and I really don't enjoy the theater all that much, so I'm torn. 
  • Eagle: I totally thought you were a brunette (no idea why)...but your hair is awesome!


    Birdie: For skeeter bites, rub the pulpy inside from a banana peel on the itchy parts...let the pulp stay for as long as you can...it will help with the itchiness and swelling.



    I grilled chicken breasts and corn on the cob for dinner tonight....after cooking two nights in a row now, H looked at me and said "Its good and thank you...but what is the deal?  You are the same person that has eaten cereal for months"  I replied "I like grilling"  To which he said "I need to eat year round"

    hehehe
  • Hockey I read your convo to my H and he laughed.
  • So an oatmeal bath... is that like rubbing oatmeal on you in a bathtub?

    Hockey, that would probably work for my regular bites, but these two on my right leg are far beyond that. They were around 4-5" in diameter yesterday, hot to the touch and hard as a rock. Oh and I had a fever. Yay allergies! :)

    Use a heavy duty moisturizer and gentle cleanser. If you have time, I would get Cetaphil in the tub at the grocery store. Lather that stuff on. That's my only advice for proloning the peeling. :(

    I actually have that from when I did accutane! I'll try that out, thanks!

  • Hockey-Hee.
    Leisel-I really love your dress.
    Wish Fi would get home, but traffic is apparently horrible. Bah.

  • No prob! There are some more expensive moisturizers that I use on a daily basis, but I've found that Cetaphil cream is pretty good when you need heavy duty moisture.
  • I just had a thought. What if I'm itching so much because I'm about to morph into another species, like Wolverine? And Zyrtec has been the only thing keep the transition from taking place so far?

    Birdie, I swell like that too from skeeter bites, or any kind of sting from a bee.  It usually happens 2-3 days after, not right after, and it is just miserable!  I had a bite on my leg just above my knee once, and then got a sunburn on it while driving.  That was really painful.

    This looks awesome. Now I just need to find a tub. :) My aunt took out the only tub and replaced it with a washer/dryer. We only have a stand up shower right now.
  • So I'm reading the reviews on that product and found that I can actually make it into a paste.

    However this review? Is gross.

    I suffer from obsessively picking at ingrown hairs, so I have a lot of puffiness and redness on my legs. A lot of times it looks like I have chicken pox if I'm having a bad day and can't stop picking. A friend gave me the Aveeno oatmeal bath product to try, and it definitely reduces the redness and puffiness. Picking can be stress-inducing so having a nice oatmeal bath afterward to try to calm down helps.
  • Hello! I'm working my way through a bottle of vinho verde it's not long for this world. Also waiting for H to get home from his longass meeting so we can eat dinner. Hamburgers! I'm hungry!

  • Oh and I'm glad an oatmeal bath is really a bath that you poor some oatmeal type stuff in. I really wasn't looking forward to making that much oatmeal in my microwave.

    Nope I never had the chicken pox. I get freak reactions from mosquito bites, but never had something common like the chicken pox. I'm a freak.
  • Yeah, I've never really known what an oatmeal bath was. I never got chicken pox as a kid, but I did get it when I was 15 and it was more of an annoyance than anything - I felt fine but wasn't allowed to go to school or dance practice, and this bothered little 15 year old Leisel.
  • I've actually developed all of my lovely skin issues and allergies as an adult. I was apparently a blessed child.
