How often do you wash your sheets?

So after getting allergy tested and finding out that trees aren't my friends and that my bed could be making me sneeze because of dust mites. I have been working on making my room more allergy friendly, and its going to take a while. Some of the first steps have been to order pillow, mattress, and duvet covers that block the dust mights. I'm also starting to changing my sheets more regularly. I'm totally guilty of leaving them on to long, but that said I usually shower at night so I'm not dirty with the days grim getting in my bed. Now my goal is to change them once a week, which means more washing :(. How often do most people change their sheets? What other things have people done to help with dust mite and tree allergies? Thankfully my doctor doesn't seem to crazy about getting rid of anything just making small changes to my routines.  So I leave you with a trick for storing sheets, pretty sheets and pretty more allergy friendly bedrooms.

Visiting the ENT doctor

So I'm currently sitting at the ENT doctor waiting for the plan after my allergy testing today. I was lucky enough that someone canceled today or god knows how long it would be till I could get in. After talking with the nurse that did the test, I found out that I'm basically allergic to all trees. Most grass, dust mites, and some weeds. This is going to be an interesting journey but I'm ready to be able to be outside for longer times. So I'm leaving you with some pretty pictures from the outside since I'm stuck in a doctors office.

ENT/ Allergist first visit

I'm headed off to the ENT/ Allergist today, should be interesting, I'm hoping that things will finally be figured out about why I have been getting so many sinus infections, and what I'm allergic to so I can be treated properly. Since january 2012 I have been more sick then I have ever been in my entire life, such a strange thing for me and I have been down for the count for a while. Normally I don't like going to doctors and I'm always worried that its going to be something challenging to treat. But things have gotten so bad with my allergies that I don't even want to spend time outside and I have cut back on workout because my head starts to pound and I'm so itchy. I will keep you posted on my progress with the ENT/ Allergist. So I leave you with a pretty picture from my favorite place.
