A Natural Alternative Supplement for Allergies: My Experience with Zyrtec

A Better Life Lived Posted on by

Allergies have been a prominent part of my life for over 10 years. Taking medications that aren’t designed to be taken long term, especially for something non-life threatening, isn’t something I’m happy to do. I prefer to deal with illness and healing as naturally as possible. After a bad experience with Zyrtec after taking both it and Sudafed daily for years, I decided to turn to a more natural alternative. I ended up finding D-HIST, an amazing natural alternative allergy supplement that manages my terrible allergy symptoms even better than Zyrtec. If you’re looking for help with allergy symptoms, this may be your answer! I’ve found them to provide relief from allergy symptoms like itchy and watery eyes as well as sinus … More…

What I’m Grateful for – November 2017

A Better Life Lived Posted on by

November was an awesome month. The weather has been so fantastic! It was a little cold a few days, but it actually felt like Autumn instead of just nose-diving straight into Winter at the end of October. Aside from some pretty great weather, I already have most of my Christmas shopping done. No mad rushing for me this December! I did my annual Black Friday shopping with my mom and sister. While I didn’t have much to buy initially, I did get some ideas and accomplished some things so yay! Another successful Black Friday (including a whole new set of dog toys so we can throw out all of their old ratty ones.) Zachary’s been sick a lot this month … More…

October has gone by so fast. I know time seems to be going by quicker all the time, but it really feels like this month started, I blinked, and October was gone. We were so busy this month. I’m sure it will only get worse as the year comes to an end! October was filled with a lot of work towards potty training. We’re starting to make some headway, but it’s been a lot of work!

Zachary had some done in his Halloween costume and they should be really cute. We may have even gotten some good ones … More…
