Hello world!

Hi guys! I am starting this blog because I want to raise awareness of my story. I used to be allergic to plastic. I almost died. We didn’t know what was wrong and I was having autoimmune issues. Through a turn of events my dad and I figured out that plastic was creating the autoimmune reactions in my body and causing my body to shut down.

Last year, after four months abroad, when I returned to the US, my body went south. After about a month or two back in the states, I was having anaphylaxis every time I ate. Even water was causing me to react. While anaphylaxis is but one of the hundreds of symptoms I had, this is a quick way to share about the hardships my body endured. It was a dreadful five months where I was basically starved until we figured out I was allergic to plastic.

I quickly made the jump to live completely plastic-free. Water, clothes, food, everyday accessories and what not. It was a lot of work to think of everything and avoid plastic as best as I could. Sure enough, my health instantly improved. I went from struggling to breathe in every moment and feeling I would pass out to realizing the moments I couldn’t breathe was in environments filled with microplastics (such as the mall or the car), and never feeling like I would pass out.

I am starting this blog to share about my story, and also about dreadful discoveries I am making about plastic the more I research. I hope this blog impacts you and inspires you to also make changes towards living a healthier life.

I believe my story may be revolutionary. Since I was a child, I have heard about the importance of limiting plastic for the environment. Yet, I had never heard about the health consequences that might arise.

Come February this year, the Lord healed me of my allergy. It was a miracle and my entire story has many depths that still inspire me and touch my heart deeply. I hope that my story also does the same for you to encourage you that no matter how low you may feel, God is with you and He can bring you out of the pit into rest and security.

While this is my first blog, and learning the ropes, there are many stories I want to share. I hope they challenge you, encourage you, and inspire you. There are also many facts I have discovered that are grieving my heart. I am working towards starting up a plastic-free business, yet I have much ground to cover and things to learn! I look forward to the journey to come and hope you are inspired to walk through this with me.

I would love to have you stay connected and walk in this plastic-free journey with me! Sign up for my email list to keep up to date on the latest info shared. Let’s live happier and healthier lives together! Blessings 🙂

Love,
