Using Local Hamptons Honey to Attack Allergies?

Using Local Hamptons Honey To Attack Allergies?

I have always thought it was a myth, but I never tried it. The idea is simple, honey comes from flowers, and the pollen from flowers causes allergies. If you eat local honey, you are exposing your immune system to pollen that is in your area, which will give you immunity during allergy season. It makes sense, but how could something simple be true? 

 

I was determined to find out. 

 

First off, I’m typically comically sick during the Spring. Allergies hit me hard. I cough, my eyes get watery and itch, and my nose endlessly runs. My allergies have been so bad in the past and have lasted for so long that I have convinced myself many times that there was something much more serious going on with me, like a super Covid or something that was going to be the end of me. Thankfully, I’m still here. 

 

This year, I have tried to really prepare for allergy season. I’ve been exercising, drinking water, getting my sleep, and loading up on various nasal sprays and allergy medication. There is nothing I won’t try to get rid of allergies. This year, I threw something new into the mix, however, and that is Hampton’s honey. You can find it in any grocery store in the Hamptons for about $10 a jar. 

 

I like honey, I don’t like allergies, why not see if it’s true? 

 

This is just my personal experience, but every morning like clockwork for the last three months I have been putting a spoonful of local honey into my coffee, and now that allergy season is here, I’m sort of shocked that I haven’t been sick yet (knock on wood). My only experience with allergies so far this year has been a brief moment while driving through East Hampton and the pollen hit my eyes and started making them almost burn. But when I got out of the high-pollen road, they felt better. No coughing, no sneezing, and no other symptoms so far. 

 

Maybe it’s all in my head (probably is), but I’m sold on local honey as a way to defend against allergies. Give it a try, it’s deliciously, you don’t need much (at least I don’t), and it’s pretty cheap. I love honey and will be having it every day so long as I’m living out here. It’s important that it’s local, as the flowers that the honey comes from need to be from the area in order for it to have an anti-allergy effect.

  • Hilary Matt Interiors is a residential design firm started and located in New York City with projects spanning across the country, including in the Hamptons and East End.⁠
⁠
Hilary, principal and founder, is known for a bold aesthetic that is comfortable and livable. She always keeps her clients at the forefront so they can express themselves as individuals through their spaces. After starting out in the fashion industry, Hilary felt a call to interior design where she has been bringing her unique approach and style to every space as the brand continues to grow.⁠
⁠
Hilary spoke more about her background, how each HMI project differs from one another, and why the Hamptons is such a special place to her. She also shared her top 5 interior design tips as inspiration.⁠
⁠
Can you discuss your background and how you got started with interior design?⁠
⁠
HM: I studied business and apparel merchandising. After graduating, my first job was at a women’s contemporary showroom in NYC. I had always loved fashion and wanted to be in the industry. After a year, I realized it wasn’t quite what I expected. I had always been interested in interior design, so I took a leap of faith and accepted a job as an assistant to an interior designer. I was initially nervous to leave fashion, but I figured I could always return. I ended up loving it and worked with her for eight years, learning the ins and outs of the business. I also took classes on weekends and evenings to learn computer programs, scaling, and other essential skills. After leaving that position and having my first son, I started my own company, which has snowballed into what we are today.⁠

  • Comedian Des Bishop took the stage at Westhampton Beach Performing Arts Center this week and delivered laugh after laugh. A native New Yorker, Des moved to Ireland in his teenage years, which ultimately inspired his start in comedy and a successful career that has spanned three decades.⁠
⁠
His comedy is full of observational humor and nostalgia, whether it be about his many cross-cultural experiences, an ever-changing societal landscape, and his own personal stories growing up. Des brings energy and a unique perspective to every show, evident at his Westhampton show, the place he has spent all his summers since the 90s.⁠
⁠
Des spoke more about his background, how his experiences have shaped his approach to comedy, his connection with the East End, and his WHBPAC show.⁠
⁠
Can you tell us a bit about your background and how you first got into comedy?⁠
⁠
DB: Well, my background is a little complicated, but the quick version is I grew up in Queens, flunked out of St. Francis Prep at 14, and ended up going to Ireland to boarding school in 1990. It was a crazy, life-changing experience, but it definitely saved my education and ultimately inspired a comedy career that in the early days focused a lot on being an outsider looking in. It’s hard to know if I ever would have tried stand-up if I hadn’t been in Ireland. I got sober at 19 and it was a comedian I knew from that world that pushed me to try stand up. Once I got on stage that was all she wrote. I was addicted.⁠
