Dry Brushing (Warning! Glamour Free Zone)
I have never had serious weight issues. There was that one time when I was 16 years old, lived in Denmark and briefly weighed 64 kilograms – right after some very intensive Christmas eating – and was convinced I was fat. In hindsight, this belief qualifies a..
Casual Green Tea
I am slightly suspicious of people who don’t drink tea. Seriously, why? I do it on most days (coffee in the first half of the day, tea in the second) and I agree with the Brits – it has a civilizing influence. What I cannot quite manage, though, is to drink ..
