I grew up with a mom who’s philosophy was “makeup is great but skin care is greater” Okay she didn’t actually say this as it was in Romanian but I’m trying as best as I can to sort of sum up the statement. In Europe skin care is essential. I noticed here in America that makeup generally gets all the praise but to me, the canvas is just as important as the paint.

First let me say, thank you a million times over to my readers. I can’t believe I have readers. It’s pretty insane really. I feel truly humbled every day that I get to do something that perhaps even in some tiny way could benefit you. Aside from the rambling I do, I hope to positively touch you with my approach to living with food sensitivity.

The air smells different, the sounds of late September whispering "fall" and a strange sadness mixed with anticipation takes hold of me. Every season has its own charm and while I'm truly a sucker for spring and summer (primarily because I don't enjoy wearing a boatload of clothes and like being barefoot), fall has its own charm and beauty. But the start of fall marks the start of school and the start of school inevitably marks the start of cold season in my house.
