If someone would have told me that upon moving abroad I would develop a rash on my forehead that would last over a year I might have changed my mind about moving. But the good news is that I solved the problem with something far more simple and less costly then I thought. And bonus points because my skin looks and feels better than ever.

Helene’s Best of 2017 Review and Link Up
You know in school when you had the write the date on the top of your paper? Whenever a new year rolled around you had to keep erasing to write the correct year.

When I travel I tend to notice things more. Not just the big landmarks, or the people, or the cultural differences, but the scenery and the environment. I tend to appreciate the little things and feel enchanted with the world around me. This, in large part, is due to my love of adventure and, more often than not, where we stay.
