It’s so fucked up how backwards our education system is structured here in the states.

1. Fist: Make a fist around the epi-pen, don’t place your thumb/fingers over either end

2. Flick the blue cap off

3. Fire. Press down into the outer thigh (the big muscle in there), hold for 10 seconds before removing (the orange cap will cover the needle). Bare skin is best but the epi-pen will go through clothing. Avoid pockets and seams. 

- Ring an ambulance even if everything seems to be fine!

Oh my god. So as someone who has to carry an epipen EVERYWHERE I am so happy to see that there’s an info post about them. Like in the extreme case that I can’t inject myself, somebody else would have to do it, but nobody knows how to do it! Thank you, this may just save my life some day.

[imnotjellyatall]

very accurate

make sure you carry around more than one though, and also make sure they aren’t expired.

another important note is that (from my experience) it does not make the reaction stop. it only buys enough time for an ambulance to arrive, so calling one is super important!

also, about those new epinephrine injectors (auvi-Q i think), i’ve used them twice in the past two years, and they did not work either time. the only thing that stopped my reaction at all was an epi-pen. so fuck those

[templarsalad]

Additional tips: don’t store them in extreme temperatures.

Auvi-Q’s formula is not strong enough+doesn’t have a long/thick enough needle so it’s not good for anything but mild reactions.

symptoms of allergy attacks DONT ALWAYS HAVE EXTREMELY VISIBLE SIGNS. You must be vigilant. Symptoms include but are not limited to vomiting/gagging, shortness of breath, swelling of lips or eyes, nausea, itching, rash (either red patches, small bumps, or hives), lips turning blue, etc.

DONT WAIT. Anaphylactic shock can set in in seconds and kill in a minute. I’ve seen it happen. It’s scary but you must take charge of the victim is unable— and don’t be afraid to inject if you aren’t sure if it’s a reaction or not. IT IS BETTER TO BE SAFE THAN SORRY. Epi pens won’t hurt you if there’s no reaction, so use it even if you’re not sure.

Be careful allergy buddies. Reblogging will save a life.

I just answered an ask about my vegan grocery essentials, so I thought I might as well post it here too!

Here are my resources for building your own healthy vegan grocery list:

How to Grocery Shop for Packing Healthy Lunches To Go

Below are my essentials for eating healthy, these are the types of foods I like to have on hand at the start of each week. *Starred ingredients indicate items that I stock up on (usually from Costco) or items that last a long time, not things I buy on a week-to-week basis.

This is the list of foods I’d buy if I had to suddenly restock my kitchen from scratch. I’d choose these ingredients because I find them really easy to use, versatile, and really good for mixing and matching to create tons of different dishes.

Fruit

apples

bananas

oranges

whatever else is on sale and looks good (lately it’s things like berries, melons, pineapple, kiwis, etc.)

frozen mixed berries and frozen mango*

orange juice*

Vegetables

spinach (essential for salads)

cucumber

carrots

zucchini

broccoli

kale

mushrooms

grape tomatoes

avocados

garlic*

canned tomatoes or pasta sauce* (look for one made with wholesome ingredients)

Grains/Carbs

sprouted grain bread*

brown rice and/or quinoa*

whole wheat pasta*

granola*

oats*

Beans/Legumes

canned low sodium chickpeas*

extra-firm tofu

hummus*

Nuts/Seeds/Other

almonds*

pumpkin seeds*

peanut butter and/or almond butter*

soft pitted dates*

Vegan Non-Dairy

non-dairy yogurt (or dessert tofu)

soy or almond milk (unsweetened)

Other

sriracha*

nutritional yeast*

light soy sauce*

coconut oil/olive oil*

mustard*

Non-Essentials

Daiya Cheddar-style shreds

Earth Balance Buttery Spread

Vegenaise vegan mayo

Superfoods: chia seeds, hemp hearts, cacao nibs, etc.*

With this list you can make:

sandwiches

vegan lunch bowls

stir-fries

pasta

veggies & hummus

fruit with peanut butter

date balls

toast with pb & banana

toast with mashed avocado

fruit salad

oatmeal with berries/nuts/nut butters

tofu and vegetable broth soups

Here are some of my favourite recipes using those ingredients:

Baked Sriracha and Soy Sauce Tofu (in salads, wraps, sandwiches, and vegan lunch bowls - I use it all the time)

Tofu Noodle Soup [version 1] [version 2]

Classic Green Smoothie

Broiled Apple & Almond Butter Sandwich (you can also do PB & banana)

Mixed Berry, Granola, and Yogurt Parfait

Date Balls

You can also browse Garden of Vegan tags for: Breakfast, Lunch & Dinner, Snacks, Smoothies, and Food on the Go. Most meals are made mostly with the ingredients above or would be really easy to substitute.

Winter in Finland. This is where I live and the weather was incredible today.

R.I.P. Corporal Nathan Cirillo of the Argyll and Sutherland Highlanders of Canada regiment. The 24 year old soldier was shot and killed while guarding the Tomb of the Unknown at the National War Memorial in Ottawa, Canada this morning in a senseless act of terrorism. My heart is with his family, the City of Ottawa, the people of Canada, and all those affected by this great tragedy.

14 years old: I'm young but I know what I want. This isn't that hard, I'm all grown up already and have everything figured out.

17 years old: Well, this is a little harder than I thought. School is almost ending. What am I going to do with my life?

21 years old: What the fuck is going on? Where are my socks?

[annyharsh]

As a Canadian, I like to laugh at the ridiculousness of Canadian stereotypes. Then shit like this happens.

when girls press their whole body against you when they hug, it means they like you a lot. also, they’re measuring your body to determine how long it will take them to eat your flesh, a technique shared by boa constrictors

if u are scared or worried or stressed please just remember that even if you mess up super badly, doggies on the street will still tug on their owners when u walk by because they wanna say hello to u so badly

[noirbettie]

This is legitimately comforting.
