going the other way on this one. i know what a bad night does to me and that wasnt it, the day after didnt feel like any rough morning ive had off bad...

Hes not being asked to diagnose anything. all hes doing is noticing somethings wrong and ringing, and saying that out loud makes it a much lower bar f...

pretty normal for this stuff actually. tends to carry a sharper, slightly bitter/herbal edge vs regular table honey, comes from the flowers. shifts ba...
