Its A Small World After All.....

BTW my face has gotten better and doesnt seem to be reacting to honey. We will see how it all plays out.

But really this blog is about how it is a small world we live in.....
There is a girl I have known since I was about 12. We were in ice skating together first and then where at the same jr high and high school together. We were a couple years apart in school so I ended up at college first. I discovered her at same school couple years later, and we ended up in same sorority together......
And no she is not stalking me.... she is very sweet lady.....always has been....
Anyway I graduated from college and life happened and we lost touch as things go.....
Lo and behold, we went the Sea Center in Santa Barbara and there she was working as management.....we hadnt seen her in about 10 yrs and unfortunately, since she was working and we had to get out before time expired on our parking permit for the wharf, we didnt get a chance to catch up more than when she worked and that we would have to come back another time during her work hours and try to carve out more time to chat. But it was really cool to see her again and I hope that we do manage to catch up with her again.....

The Beginnings of our Food Exploration

I have to share that on my grandmother's advice for a chronic sinus infection, I have been not putting either raw honey, regular honey, or processed sugar in my coffee for about the last 5 days or so. And my sinuses had started draining after about the first 48 hours. But I had also noticed that my facial issues (a problem with the T-zone where I itch and itch-and try not to scratch- and it can turn red), which have been an on-going but improving battle, had improved nicely over those last several days, but I thought it was due to the weather warming up and figured it was just the dryness of winter that aggravated it.
That was until I decided to go ahead and put a little sugar in my coffee this morning. Surely a little couldnt hurt right? OH BOY was I wrong!! Within about 30 minutes of consuming this sugared coffee, my face has erupted in itchiness and scales again!
Needless to say I dumped out the coffee in my cup and started over with unsweetened coffee. I will wait a few days or more until my face calms down, and try just some raw honey in coffee (because that is what I currently have) and see what happens.
