Water worries?!

For like almost 3 years now, I have always been puzzled why I would always get red, itchy, hive-looking marks on my chest, shoulders and face--and it will always appear at a very random time. I would also complain why my hair is dry, etc. etc. etc...

Of course, I will always associate my misery to my allergies which sometimes doesn't make sense anymore. So, i did some more research and it sounded like i may be sensitive to our laudry detergent and fabric softener...So, I decided to switch to a different one--I told myself that if doesn't work, I would switch to an organic laundry detergent....Thought I found the answer, cause for awhile, I was quite happy...Until about 2 weeks ago, i started having some hive-looking marks again and i didn't even eat anything to trigger it! Geez---i am getting tired of this!

I randomly talked about this to my friend and she told me that it might be our water...Water? Unbelievable! That can't be...uhmmm...now I am not sure! 

So, I did some research and reading and guess what I found out? The chlorine content of the water in the city I live in, is high enough to cause the irritations I am experiencing and dryness of hair.

This is just crazy. But i have to be pro-active and not complain. We decided to buy a shower filter.
This Culligan shower head filter is known to eliminate 99.9% of the chlorine. So let's see if this will resolve my issues--oh wait, not just my issues! I found out that my niece too is having the same reactions as me--and Jay too! They kept quiet about it thinking it was nothing!

I can't wait to get it. Hopefully it will arrive this weekend!

  2. A month later, Cheryll has noticed a change on her skin. The irritations she was experiencing on her chest and face have disappeared. Further, her skin tone appear to be more radiant and glowing.

    I recommend this item to anyone who suffers the same symptom Cheryll experienced.
