Believe in Magic
Even though she had arrived on Ibiza feeling burnt-out and sad, she clearly hadn't lost her sense of humor. That night, we were laying on the cliffs together, gazing up at the twinkling stars. "Doesn't this remind you of the magical connection between the cosmos and our lives?" I whispered. "You dork," my friend laughed, but in the silence that followed, I could feel something softening in her. Perhaps it was the presence of 'lovers rock' Es Vedra, rising majestically from the sea nearby.
Perhaps it was the sighting of the first shooting star. But when I looked over, I saw a single tear rolling down her cheek. And I knew she was going to be just fine."

More than a feeling
Don’t ignore your emotions; they are much more powerful than you can imagine. By linking the magical world of emotions with hard science, Dutch scientist Pierre Capel, professor emeritus in experimental immunology, shows us the consequences of our feelings and the power of our minds. The message: we can do much more than we think. “Meditate. It’s the single best thing you can do for your health.”

Super (skin) food
‘If you can’t eat it, why put it on your skin?’. I pretty much live by this beauty adage. After all, with your skin being one of your body’s largest organs, anything – and I mean anything! – you put onto your skin will end up in your bloodstream.
