Yes. Although I do have problems with some things such as bleach, many
mainstream cleaning products and candles, scented or otherwise, I am not
bothered by a lot of those other things. I remember becoming furious with
my mom when we moved in here and she insisted on coming over and cleaning
with her cleaning products. She uses stuff like 409 and I don't know what
is in there but it does make me feel unwell. I prefer Mrs. Meyers and
Method products which are scented but they don't bother me at all. She also
gave me a box of perfume samples some years ago that she got from a coworker
whose daughter was selling the stuff. I can't remember now what it was.
Something designer. Made my eyes water and I couldn't stop sneezing. I had
to toss it out. Giorgio does the same to me. Thankfully not many people
use that these days.

I had to give up wearing most makeup because it caused problems. Whatever
they were putting in lipsticks to make them long lasting caused my lips to
blister. And anything near my eyes does cause problems. But I always wear
nail polish and some sort of scent and no problems there.
