Skincare science and quick reviews
Blogging has given me quite a few surprises since I started. And I am not going to tune in to the great community chorus here, or talk about the many things it taught me. Or the late nights and weird face paintings. No, I am going to share with you something that I never thought would ever happen. I got an eMail. And it was written by a cat. Not just any cat, but a fabulous and tech savvy cat that lives pretty close to me. And that…
If you are unfamiliar with the “Hidden Gems”, here is a little introduction. But basically I share places I discovered while traveling that aren’t easily discovered, but worth looking out for. The Wholemeal Café in Takaka (Picture Source) When we were traveling New Zealands South earlier this year (already feels like a lifetime ago…), we usually went for a mid-day break from driving to explore and give Little Bean some distraction.

Please keep in mind: I don’t believe in following a strict diet. Neither do I do Low-Carb, cut out dairy completely, feel the need to eat gluten-free nor do I count calories. I am a part-time pescetarian due to the…
This title tells you two things about me: I love strawberries and I love The Beatles. Now it is the season for strawberries, so I will put my questionable taste of music aside and talk about the gorgeous red sweetness that is this fruit.

So what about the other nine months of the year? The answer…
In the life of every parent comes the moment when you decide to start feeding your child the same food you eat on a day to day basis. In my life, this was a moment of truth. I looked at what I had been eating for the last few weeks and suddenly realized that it had been neither wholesome nor nutritious and for sure not the kind of food I would want Little Bean to have.
