About Christy Cushing

Diagnosed with systemic nickel allergy syndrome or a nickel food allergy in 2009, I felt alone trying to navigate living with such an unique food allergy. Blogging since 2013, I find great joy connecting with others like yourself. When not blogging, I also love to hike, ski, garden and travel with my supportive spouse Sara and to tease our two cats.
