I've had allergies since I was a kid. I never knew what they were, but the runny nose and dark circles under my eyes were always there.

So after years of sniffling and itching, I finally got tested. The result? Cockroaches, small rodents and possibly grass. That's it? Really?

Years of teary eyes and searching for under-eye cover-up and this is what I'm allergic to?

I guess the good news is that the cockroach incident was in my 20's, so that's over. I still have my combat boots around in case of an unwanted pest. The rodents, now field mice that occasionally make homes out of unused appliances, actually prefer cat food.

But here's the kicker - grass. Apparently all of the environmentally-friendly products I now use are linked to grass. I was told to stay away from plant-based products in general.

So what's a green-thumbed girl to do?

I refuse to go back to toxic products. My new quest will be non-toxic, hypoallergenic products.

Way to be picky, sister!

All suggestions are welcome. And no, I am not moving into a plastic bubble... unless it's BPA free!
