Do you ever eat ginger root? Some reading up on it lead me to women who suffer from nausea taking it during their period (either in pill form or making it into an herbal tea) to ease symptoms. I hate the stuff myself, but it has been used as a natural remedy for things for a long time now.

I have to say, I have read Beauty and the Beast, but never one so beautifully illustrated! It is a shame that book is going in to storage, but I guess it's better than being thrown out...somehow. Regardless, I did always like the story, except how wishy washy Beauty was as a character. So sad she stays away from Beast because her sisters convince her to! I actually read an adaptation of it in school (a friend loaned it to me) that was just called 'Beauty', I think... It did a great job really expanding on the story, but the ending was so rushed it ruined the book for me. Regardless, evil sisters are evil, but somehow turning them into stone statues will help them learn not to be evil? Yay, story logic!
