A teen experienced an allergic reaction that was not only uncomfortable, but made her look unflattering through no fault of her own.

But that didn't stop her from facing the world and laughing about it.

Amiyah Evans from Clinton, Mississippi, woke up one morning and found that her lips were slightly swollen. She didn't think anything of it at first and passed it off as a minor nuisance that would eventually subside.

Unfortunately, it was only the beginning.


She toldBuzzfeed News:

"I had small swelling on my lip, on the right side of my bottom lip. I thought that maybe I had gotten bit by something, or something like that, because it was really small."

This is a GIF of the 18-year-old before the reaction.


Her condition worsened.

"It got bigger every hour. It just kept growing and then I went to a clinic around 4:00 when I thought it was getting out of my hand."

Instead of hiding under the covers, Evans was a good sport about it and shared a photo of her lips looking at its absolute worst.

She even changed her handle name to "miyah w/da phat lips."

The doctor at the clinic prescribed her Benadryl and a steroid pack, but it did little to prevent the swelling. In fact, her lips ballooned to twice the size.



"I could talk but you could barely understand some things that I was saying," she said.

By 7 p.m. that night, her mother took her to the hospital. And they laughed their way there.


When your family is laughing at you, Evans thought it was pointless to wallow. Besides, it would be more concerning if her siblings had a look of alarm, right?

"I didn't really panic about it at first because my siblings were making fun of me anyway, so I just made a big joke out of it."

Thanks for the support, sisters.



The culprit was supposedly hamburger meat. But not just any hamburger meat. The patty was from Sam's Club, a detour from her usual go-to, which is Walmart.


Followers were genuinely worried for her.



She gave her consent for jokes to keep her occupied at the hospital.


Once her friends realized she wasn't suffering from any pain, the ribbing followed and Evans cackled right along with them.









Evans is now back at home and recovering with normal-sized lips.


We're glad she recovered. However, allergic reactions are no joke, and you never know how serious they can be. When in doubt, just go and get it checked, asap.

No one wants to be alone.

But that doesn't mean we should settle when it comes to choosing a romantic partner.

When people rush into things without letting love flourish, it could lead to problems down the line that can inevitably lead to difficult breakups.

Among the many reasons people watch, and rewatch, sitcoms is to imagine your life was more like the one you were watching.

Being able to afford a two-bedroom apartment in Greenwich Village on a line cook's salary, somehow always having the comfortable sofa available at your favorite coffee shop whenever you pop in, or having your best friends always available at your beck and call whenever you need them.

For the romantics, however, it's wishing you could have a romance like you've seen on television.

True not all sitcom romances are exactly the sort that makes you go all aflutter (Were Ross and Rachel actually on a break? And don't even get me started about Ted and Robin.)

Other sitcom couples are so captivating, though, that we would have given anything to be at their wedding... or at the very least go to their home for dinner every Friday.

And this includes plutonic couples, as there is nothing more heartwarming than a lasting friendship.

As an editor, I am not just in charge of proofreading and correcting style and format. I am also in charge of making sure all the contact information provided, such as phone numbers and emails, work.

After working for 10 hours straight a few months ago, I forgot to check the phone numbers and let a brochure go to publication with a phone number that did not work.

Luckily, a similar mistake had actually happened before with another editor for another client a year prior, so contact info on print materials like this brochure were checked by every department rather than just editorial, and the mistake was caught.

Since I didn't know this, when I heard the phone number was wrong, my heart dropped to my stomach and I thought I was sure fired. Luckily, I was just told to make sure this never happens again. I was relived that there was no fallout, but when I first heard what happened, my only thought was. 'I totally f**ked up!'

Redditors are no strangers to this feeling, as they've made egregious mistakes themselves. They are only too eager to share their experiences.

With the world's finances the way they are, it's a miracle if people can save their spare change.

Inflation has a stronghold on too many people.

Sometimes it feels like just breathing can cost you money.

It's hard to make and absurdly easy to lose.

So be vigilant with your wallet.

And try to spend on certain things in moderation.

Going out for meals three times a day adds up.

Even with Wendy's value menu.
