Actually, the last two flights I took had terrible turbulence, and since then I've developed kind of a flying phobia, which I never had before. Any tips on how to calm nerves before a flight (I mean aside from taking some sort of meds)?

I love all the sunflower photos, but the storms are a much more accurate depiction of what I'm going through here in Washington state! We've been having the same wishy washy weather. One day it seems sunny but by night there is lightning. Sorry I don't have flying advice for you though--I'm terrified of it! I do agree that the pilots will keep you safe though! :)
ReplyDeleteGreat group of photos! The food all looks so yummy and the flowers are lovely! The storm photos are scary and I can't imagine being in a plane during a lightening storm!
ReplyDeleteScandinavians are known for getting drunk before going on a plane. Afterwards nothing seems to scare them :D I am not a fan of this practice but who knows, it might work...
ReplyDeleteBeautiful scenes from a berry-infused life!
That salad looks delicious! We normally have a lot of storms in the summer too, but it's been really dry this year. In fact, a lot of plants have been dying because the city can't keep up with watering everything.
ReplyDeleteIs alcohol considered a med? You can take a shot to relax. I say breathing in and out helps. I usually listen to music if it gets to crazy with turbulence. When I was younger I was actually in a small 6-seater plane in a thunderstorm. Now, thats scary.
ReplyDeleteOh man, those pancakes look amazing! And so do the berry tarts!
ReplyDeleteI wish it would rain here more. It's so hot and dry. Blah.
Beautiful photos! The berry tarts look amazing. I don't have a flying phobia, but I'm claustrophobic and hate the enclosed feeling of planes. Believe it or not, my favorite flight ever was probably the 20 hour flight to Australia, because the plane was so big and there was a ton of room! The scent of peppermint oil is calming and helps (I'd heard rescue remedy is great too), and slow, deep mindful breathing. A cocktail or beer definitely takes the edge off as well! :)
ReplyDeleteThose tarts look deliscious and patriotic, depsite the cute hearts... lol!
ReplyDeleteI've been eating salads a lot lately too. I never thought of adding egg and feta together. That sounds so good. I'll have to give it a try.
I should probably start buying mini ice creams too. I always eat waaaay to much when I get a whole carton. Appropriate portions make the difference.
I wish I had some advice for flights, but am not a good flier! I take Dramine for motion sickness, which usually makes me pass out, but when I was flying home last week, there was heat lightning outside the plane window as we were landing and I was freaking out so much! My husband likes to remind me that you're safer in a plane than you are in a car but that doesn't do much...
ReplyDeleteThose berry tarts look sooooo delicious!
