Random thought yesterday: The glitter is going to wear off more in the front than the back. So not only will (this belt) be deglittered, but it'll be deglittered unevenly.

My personal allergy season is starting.

I had written down "sweet coltsfoot" on a to-order/to-buy list early this year. Never got around to it. I can't remember if it was in relation to allergies, or post-nasal drip / cough, or headaches.

Another important distinction:

Coltsfoot (Tussilago farfara) versus Sweet Coltsfoot (Petasites *; also known as Butterbur).

Both naturally contain pyrrolizidine alkaloids, which can damage the liver. So it is advised to get products certified PA-free.


The name "tussilago" itself means "cough suppressant".
...
Butterbur root extracts have been reported to be effective in reducing frequency and severity of migraine headaches.
...
a study showed Butterbur extract to be an effective treatment for hay fever without the sedative effect
