I went to a bee farm when I was a kid. It was cool.
Now all I need is a balloon big enough to carry me!Quote:

Some honeys crystalise more readily than others - it depends on the source of the nectar, honey from oil seed rape crystalises in the comb overnight and is the bane of beekeepers (unless they are specifically harvesting from that source in which case the hives are set up accordingly), as it can't be spun out of the combs and can only be cut out and pressed.
If you have a jar of honey that was clear but has gone solid and opaque, you can restore the viscosity by putting the jar in the microwave (minus the lid, of course!) for short bursts of heat until it goes clear again.
Commercial honey is often blended from several different sources (and possibly heated to give it a consistent viscosity) so perhaps what was meant by 'raw' honey was a honey from a small producer who doesn't blend the product. Support your local beekeeper for a clearer, softer skin!
I hear there is a farmers' market not too far from here (my neighbour goes there every week)... Probably I can get it from there but who's to get up at 6 am on a Sunday to get raw honey for the skin?
I am thinking sleep is more important than honey for healthy skin... Yes?
Is there such a time as 6am on a Sunday? :yawnb: Do you have a healthfood shop near you, Sher? Not one of the chains but an independent one? They sometimes act as an outlet for local beekeepers. Or sometimes independent pharmacists keep local honey because it is said to be good for allergies, as is the pollen, if you can get it.
I get raw honey from the grocery store. It's usually either in the ehalth food section or with the rest of the honey.
There isn't? Now I am suspicious of my neighbour... :sosp:Quote:

Just like all the rest of my laundry - I set up a laundry rack and hang them to dry. The only place in this apartment where the laundry rack fits is right in front of the door - so basically it's the first thing you see when you step into the apartment :D Well, there's only two girls living here and we don't get much visitors, so it's alright :rolleyes:Quote:

On a more serious note though. THis week I'm 37 weeks pregnant. My husband and I went to see the Dr yesterday, and so I'M GOING IN THIS SATURDAY TO HAVE LABOUR INDUCED!
I'm a little of everything: excited, anxious, impatient, scared, worried, numb..lol.
Any advice from anyone?
Ooh, good luck then. I hope everything goes well.
Why induce? Or too difficult to talk about it sorry in that case)...
Oh, wow, that is exciting news, Tournesol. I know you and the baby will be just fine. All you really need is a little bit of time to drink each other in and become a family. :)
Good luck!
Every good wish for Saturday, Tournesol.
Don't forget to push.Quote:
