sunscreen for grown-ups
I normally walk into my local drug store or Target for sunscreen, but lately I’ve wanted more, since I’m getting older and want to preserve and protect my skin at a whole new level – considering the damages caused by sun, air, pollution and more. So, I’ve looked online, searching for that sunscreen, you know the one for grown-ups and here’s what I found: These are some of my favorites
my vision of an office space
I write often, mostly in-between work and play, and every other second I get to myself. I put everything that goes through my head on paper/or in this case on iPad, laptop or even cellphone. So, in my line of work (wishful thinking) there is no traditional office space, only inspirational spaces to call my office, maybe for an hour, or a day or a week. That’s how the creative juices flow – if you will. What’s your favorite spot to write?
recipe: fun grilled cheese sandwich
My weakness indeed. I can eat cheese every day, twice even, but I know my limitations and opt to eat healthy mostly and cheesy foods maybe once a week. I loved this grilled cheese sandwich and since I make a variation of it at home, I wanted to share it with all of you. My variation is freshly sliced tomatoes and just ripe avocado, and if the tomatoes are old, I stew them and spread that across the sandwich. Delicious doesn’t even express how good this sandwich is – in moderation of course. 😉 – choice of bread is left up to you. I use toasted Italian or French sliced bread.

fashion: haute couture – giambattista valli
