Hello! My name is Kristal, and I grew up in a small town in Texas where the only thing to do was play PacMan at the laundromat. I started this blog when I moved to Scotland, and I'd like to begin again. Let the adventures begin.

I've given up on natural face care - Dry skin - Active lifestyle
Yep. I've given up. I tried Argan oil; it made my foundation sink into my wrinkles and wasn't good enough for my dry skin. I tried Olay for sensitive skin, and it made my face itchy and red. Crazy! I tried Benefit, and although it felt nice, it had a strong fragrance and gave me acne. I used the All Good Things products but they didn't seem to clean well enough for somebody as active as me. My breakouts never cleared..even after the entire bottle.

Florence - Your Personal Italy Tour of the Chianti Region
Your Personal Italy (www.yourpersonalitaly.com) was a marvelous experience. It cost €500 for the four of us, and it was worth every bit! Our first stop was a US War Memorial... in Italy. Very cool.
Casa Emma Winery
And of course at the end, there was Lemoncello!
The village of Montefioralle

Falorni butcher shop in Greve
| The original butcher block! |
| We tasted yummy prosciutto and wild boar salami! |
Montagliari Winery
| We got to taste wine, olive oil, and balsamic vinegar! |
| Balsamic vinegar casks. It takes 15-20 years to make a good balsamic vinegar. |
| Lovely drive! |

Last Tasting
Dinner At Il Latini
Some of our friends from Aberdeen arrived in Florence that night! Since it was Chris and Angela's anniversary, we decided to meet up with Shuo, Nicky, and their son, Taylor. We had such a great time. I highly recommend this place. There was so much food, and it was delicious!| This platter of meat came after 4 appetizers and 3 giant plates of pasta that were shared! It has steak, beef ribs, pork, wild boar, rabbit, and veal! |
| Dessert number 1. |
| Dessert number two - Dessert wine and biscotti |
| Dessert number 3 - bubbly |
