While out doing errands today I decided to bring home a bit of spring, some hyacinth and iris. :flowers: Does everyone have an item or two on a wish list for the coming season? I have a few things in mind, but don't really need much right now!

Greetings from the weekendhouse. I always sleep so much better here than in the city. We have Presidential electionday tomorrow, so going back to the city early.

Love irises [emoji171]such a beautiful bouquet!

At the moment my wish list is very short, a PdS CSGM, already bought the black/grey/white PP, waiting for my SO K28 to arrive and some shoes are always interesting (don”t have any mules). I don’t usually plan my H shopping, because it depends what I can find when visiting the store abroad.

I think I’m slowing down with my H shopping, asking myself how many H bags I really need...VCA jewellery might tempt me instead this year.

I’m so glad you unravelled your health issue, dragonette! Certainly can be a challenge to find the root cause, and the best help. For many years, I’ve had a passion for using and learning about various natural healing modalities. Your perseverance paid off, you look healthy and vibrant!



I'm also not a fan of soy!

Thank you, etoile de mer! It always makes me happy to come across like-minded folks. I'm also glad that good, clean products are more available now due to the growing demand. It used to be so difficult with so few options as I'm sure you know! So the beginning of my recovery was a very trying time, it was just before the organic movement started to get really popular. Thank goodness the worst is over for my body! My mom follows about 60% of what I do/say and her joints have stopped aching. Have you noticed significant results too?

Holland and Barrett sell it, shelves of the stuff. I use it on my face before hill walking as a wind barrier and it's also good to promote healing if you've cut/burned yourself as an anti-bacterial and emollient. I don't use it in cooking and I prefer other seed and other nut oils blended raw (although it's much better at staying fresh).

I bought the inexpensive Vita from H&B because initially I bought it for my cats (cats can't tolerate many antiseptics). I would say it's not so refined as many others but good if you prefer it very ';coconutty'. I thought I'd have to coax them to eat it but they love it more enthusiastically than their commercial treats. It's great for dogs too!

There is a lot of hype surrounding this product generally which makes me think it must have a huge mark-up. It is preferable to many other products that are less natural - avoid margarine at all costs (DH comes from a town where they have a margarine factory, and OMG, you would not want to stand down-wind of it, makes me wretch!!! Can't even get the memory of that rancid, putrid, chemical smell out of my memory :yucky:

Just saw you said the same thing about coconut oil -- antibacterial! :tup: Coconut oil has been a real life-saver for me on my road to recovery, and keeps my eczema from relapsing (together with a clean diet)). It's also antifungal and antiviral. It's awesome for animals! And I've used it on one staph infection which cleared up almost overnight. Agreed on margarine... I love butter! I like avocado oil, coconut oil and butter for cooking.

These are beautiful! What are the few things you have in mind?

I've been waiting for a noir mini Bearn to appear since months ago, but am starting to think compact Bearn may be a better choice. But both are equally hard to find. I would like a noir clemence L26 PHW at some point, and I've been promised noir/noir Herbag31 by H Munich (still waiting). My gf ordered a noir Carmen for me from H.com, and we are waiting to see if it actually arrives lol. Other than that... I will try for a K25 later in the year, around Sep I think. Still can't decide retourne or sellier yet.

I used to plan my purchases, then I learnt that at FSH it's not about what I want, but what they have :lol: especially things in my size... :girlsigh:

I have heard a lot of good things about coconut oil and am glad to find it benefits you!
