Hey Chantale it is a good idea to mail everyone in the group with the invitation like you did with me. If you have not done so already :)

I wish I could go, I hope there will be an other one during the summer!

Hey summer for sure ottawa people are welcome. The more we are the greater!

For my vitamin D i never tested myself. I read somewhere that as long as we have a "color" from sun exposure you can be vitamin D sufficient for some time... I'll read the info on your website Melanie, thanks!

I'm planning to go to at crudescence pot-luck tomorrow, who's going? How do we meet?

It is nice that you can do it at your place Chantale. I wish to come!

Tanning beds may be more concentrated than the sun, but you don't expose as long. Each beds have specific % of uvb and uva, and the sun at noon is supposed to have 5% UVB. The only advice is never burn! I think tanning beds are safe, but you have to read about it and choose a good place...

François, do you find that 5 min a week is enough? have you ever tested your vit d? I've read we should go I least 18 to 20 min a week for enough vit d , but you have to go 3 times a week in the begining to be able to build a base tan and than add more minutes. I don't feel like going so often and for so long anyways, maybe 5 minutes is better than not to go.

I think there's a pot luck at Crudessence this weekend (tomorrow), it's not 80-10-10 but it's still a pot luck ;) Fot the vitamin D, i'm really scared of those tanning beds there are way more concentred in uv rays then the sun, but if you want to use it make sure it uses the same uv rays than the one ''producing'' vitamine D (UVB).

I'm up for a pot luck too. Thanks Chantale for offering to host it, you can count on me for preparing it if needed! For the vitamin D concern I go to tanning bed and it makes me feel great! Tan bedding are not the problem, overusage of them are! Vitamin D supplements are not as well absorbed as coming from the UV... I go 5 minutes at a time once a week in winter.

Hello there, not a lot of action here.. I am interested in a pot luck!

I want to know what you do about vitamin d? I didn't think of it before, but after reading about it I knew I should care. I started going in a tanning bed, and don't find it really pleasant. I think about the EMF and it scares me... but I  really am not found of supplement too! How about you?
