Last Sunday we ran the Maori Obstacle Race, a 7km obstacle race 35 minutes just out the city in Aria Natura. It wasn’t my best run. I was tired, my performance showed.

Amy Schumer proves you don’t have to be a haute corture runway supermodel to be on a cover of an international fashion magazine. 
Confidence and beauty at 20, 40 and 30
For as long as I can remember I’ve been an US Instyle magazine reader. I don’t think I’ve missed an issue since 2003. I was so happy when I found my then local kiosk sold it in Spain when I moved here. (more…)
