There’s a lot of stereotypes/misconceptions out there around allergies and the people that have them, so we thought it might be good to highlight these to help raise awareness.

Moving into my first proper job following university I realised that, a few months in, I hadn’t actually mentioned my allergy to a single person. Read my top tips telling your work colleagues in this article.

GREECE IS FINALLY BOOKED 😉😝😝 I’m going back to Greece for the 3rd year in a row ☀️Always have an amazing time out there, I’ve never had an issue eating out in different restaurants with my nut allergy! I will try and do some holiday content in the next few weeks, and the reasons why I feel safe eating in Greece! ☀️

ALWAYS CARRY YOUR TWO
EPI-PENS WITH YOU🙏🏻 I know a lot of you carry different brands of auto-injectors, it’s so important to carry two everywhere you go! I recently read that over 45% of young people don’t carry their auto injectors with them which is crazy, it’s so important because never know when your next allergic reaction might happen! Always be safe and carry two with you 🙌🏻 Hope you all had a good weekend!

Absolutely honoured to talk at St Johns College, Cambridge University last night, to speak about my allergy blog May Contain and the power of social media.
I was able to share personal stories of living with an allergy, as well as the story behind May Contain and why I decided to create an allergy platform that would make it more accessible for young people to speak up about their allergy.
It was great hear the other talks at the event and the amazing work being done by Emma Dellar, in lobbying for legal changes, which would allow Higher Education medical staff to store Epipens and other adrenaline auto injector devices (AAIs) onsite.

In my talk I mentioned a quote by Phil Knight the founder of Nike that goes ‘I’d tell men and women in their midtwenties not to settle for a job or a profession or even a career. Seek a calling. Even if you don’t know what that means, seek it. If you’re following your calling, the fatigue will be easier to bear, the disappointments will be fuel, the highs will be like nothing you’ve ever felt.’ I feel very lucky that I have found my calling in life with May Contain. I want to continue breaking the stigma of living with an allergy and get young people speaking up about their allergy 🙏🏻

It’s so important to tell your work colleagues about your allergy, and to find out who the first Aider is! May Contain contributor Kayleigh wrote about telling your work colleagues about your allergy a few months back on the blog! Sometimes your work colleagues may accidentally forget about your allergy, always be vocal and confident to tell someone about the seriousness of your allergy - if they forget and eat nuts near you by accident 🥜

That time I created some May Contain tote bags! 🙈 I really want to create some more soon, what do you think? 🤔

I'm super excited to share with you, I will be a speaker at Fundraising dinner to raise funds for Anaphylaxis Campaign 🙌🏻 I feel honored to be part of this event, hopefully, my talk will inspire change. Make sure to swipe right on the post to find out more about the event 👉🏻 Buy your tickets here - https://www.tickettailor.com/events/theaword/255862/r/sb_twitter (Also put a link in my bio)

Posting a new video tonight on my IGTV channel about my ‘Top Five tips living with a Food Allergy’ 🥜 Excited to share my tips with you, hopefully you find the video helpful! Also want to say a massive thank you to everyone following May Contain, I feel like we are on this journey together....together we are stronger 🙌🏻

If you are going out this weekend, don’t forget your two auto-injectors 💃 Always go with your gut instinct, if you feel the bar staff don’t know how serious your allergy is - either don’t drink the cocktail or don’t eat there! Ask questions, be vocal and be safe 🙌🏻 have a fun weekend 🍹 #allergyawareness #allergyawarenessweek #allergyseason #anaphylaxisawareness #anaphylaxis #allergyblogger #epipen #nutallergy #londonbar #foodallergy

When I started designing the graphic I wrote 'Always Carry Two Epi-Pens' however after my recent post, some many people reached out to me - tell me about the different brands of auto-injectors they carry around. To be honest with you, through creating the blog I have found out the importance of always carrying two auto-injectors - I'm learning so much through the allergy community and people like yourselves supporting me ❤️ Sorry not posted as much regular content recent, I have more articles coming out soon for the allergy blog. Keep you posted 😊

I have recently been looking at going on holiday this summer, I’m thinking about going back to Greece again for the 3rd year in a row ☀️ 🙈 The Greek islands are amazing and I’ve had a really good experience eating at different restaurants with my nut allergy! I usually stick to the basics and eat a lot of pizza and pasta, and have always been safe! 🍕 I always use Google Translate app, never had an issue translating that I’m seriously allergic to nuts! Keep you posted when I go on holiday and try vlogging my experience eating abroad with an allergy! Keep you posted ✈️

Can you tell I’m obsessed with Will Smith quotes 😅 This isn’t an allergy related post, it’s a quote that I can really relate too! I’m remember going through primary and secondary school and teachers telling me I couldn’t do something! I had study twice as hard as the student next to me to achieve the grades and pass - prove my peers wrong! If you can take anything away from this post, never listen to anyone who tell you that you can’t do something in life! Work hard, Be nice to people and the rest will follow 🙌🏻
