Skin Stories.

Maybe it is time for back to basics. Are you on the make-big-changes treadmill this month? Reflecting on how I wanted to start out the new year, I realized that adding more to my plate just didn’t feel right – that another task (albeit a well-intentioned goal) did not...

My goal when returning to Italy cycling this year was to be as ready as possible for the hills. Let me tell you, there are many and they go on forever! That meant putting in some time and work on the bike to prepare. Did I manage to train as much as I would have...
