Are you one of those people that suffers along with me during the fall and winter allergies? It sounds silly I know. Most people have allergy issues when it's spring and summer perhaps, but fall and winter. Silly. But there is a trick. The trick is to find locally grown honey in your neighborhood. Believe me, seek and you shall find. I didn't even think there would be a bee colony in this area, the city! Union square at that! But still...the bees make honey in the city and they're here to help. Take one spoonful of honey everyday at least once a day and your eyes will be out of the excruciating aching pain that they were in the week before you tried it! Why is this you ask? Just think about it so I don't have to explain it in depth since even I don't understand all of it, but I get the jist of it. Bees carry pollen and such, and it sticks to them and then they go back to their hives and make some of that sweet delicious honey. You are then surrounded by the same pollen that they carried through the city from flower to flower. So you eat the honey, you build an immunity to it, and you're safe from allergies.
TRICK- Eat locally grown honey to cure your fall allergies! TREAT- Eating the honey.
Need help finding that locally grown honey? Go on down to the farmers market on Wednesdays held in Union Square. Name of the honey: Berkshire Berries Roof-top Magic New York City Honey.
Earlier this year, my mom's cousin, Charles Fina, passed away due to Acute Myelogenous Leukemia in May. Even before his passing, Charles was able to attend an event called "Light The Night" to support finding a cure for his illness. Perhaps you've seen commercials on TV or advertisements on the train or bus for it, because I know I have. Tina Fey is a spokesperson for the event that occurs in several places all over the states. Maybe you're curious what's going to happen. "Light The Night" is a few mile walk through a park depending on where you're located. While you're walking, you carry a balloon. Each balloon has a little light attached to it on the inside giving the balloon a special glow, hence the name Light the Night. The three colors of balloons are gold, to remember a lost loved one, white, to celebrate your survival of Leukemia/Lymphoma, and blue, to give hope and show support. Come on kids! Support the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society!!
