I've tried so many fragrance free conditioners/shampoos, and they still smell and make my face itchy, red or burn.

I'm in full allergy flare mode right now (my inner ears, sinuses and throat have been super swollen and itchy for over 2 months now) and my body can't handle anything scented, even the products that I used to tolerate.

I'm currently using a mix of glycerin, unscented castile soap, Aveeno Skin Relief Body Wash (fragrance free), instead of shampoo.

And instead of conditioner I just use coconut oil for hair dryness.

I've already wasted so much money on fragrance free products that aren't actually scent free.

I have a lot of ear pain in my left ear (along with vertigo and tinnitus) that started this late spring that I suspect is caused by allergies of some sort.

I take extra antihistamines and advil every day this summer, as well as using nasal spray, and they barely bring down the pain, inflammation and itchiness.

Using those neti pot/ nasal rinses and tilting my head where the rinse is going towards my left ear, it feels like it's scratching that itchiness that I can't reach in my ears. It sucks that the relief is short and temporary.

Ribbit had good intentions by trying to reach out to Jax and try to get him to be more open with her. But Jax was not in the right headspace or willing to open up without outside pressure. Ribbit kept asking Jax to open up, even when he originally made it clear it wasn't something he was comfortable with. It would have been better to give him the space to come to her when he was clearly ready to open up on his own terms.

I think the finale shows the dangers of trying to get someone who's in the closet/repressed to open up before they are ready. People who are struggling with internalized homophobia/transphobia are not going to be immediately receptive to being openly gay/trans just because they have accepting friends/community. Often they have trauma growing up that led to them hiding that part of themselves to try and keep themselves safe. They need time to work through that internalized phobia until they are mentally ready to open up to others or be honest with themselves. You can't get someone to leave the closet if they aren't ready to. And if you force them out before they aren't ready, it can have dangerous consequences.

I see this happen in real life, where people will try and crack a closeted trans persons egg before they are ready, or speculate/ make theories about a person's sexuality when they haven't been public about it. While often well intentioned, it often leads to the person feeling cornered. This could lead them to go further into the closet or to lash out at others in the community for fear of being exposed to other people as being gay/trans.

I think Jax's reaction after the talk with Ribbit was a perfect example of this. He was not ready to be open/honest about his identity and since Ribbit was the only one who knew about their conversation, it lead to him pushing Ribbit away because he feared she would expose that hidden side of himself to others.

Ordered an unscented natural moisturizing cream from Amazon due to having really bad fragrance allergies as well as strong chemical sensitivity. Product had lots of good reviews and people mentioned it was really good for those with sensitive skin/allergies and didn't have any scent. It didn't list fragrance in the ingredients either.

I tried applying a tiny dot on my hand and cheek and within a few minutes my nose and face were itchy red and burning. I washed the product off immediately but my sinuses, inner ears, and throat became swollen and painful quickly shortly after. I took extra strength Benadryl and am waiting it out to see if the Benadryl will be enough to calm the reaction.

Just thought to warn others since, amazon doesn't seem to let me post a negative review about an allergic reaction to the product. My allergic reaction was similar to the allergic reaction I have to fragrances so I question if they are fully being truthful of containing no fragrance or chemicals in their moisturizer.

The moisturizer in question: Tallow Moisturizing Cream
