very mild and delicate.

I was sad than I bought something online...)))

I feel better now!)

How very true;)))

Enjoy your weekend!

Goats yogurt

Goats yogurt is truly something new to me.

I've heard a lot about benefits of goat yogurt of course.

I think if you like goat cheese (and I do), you will like goat yogurt.

It's creamy and very white. 

And very refreshing.

In the garden

Sunny and warm weather today.

Cutting roses is a very pleasant way to spend a few hours in the garden!

And the sun is so very welcome after the eclipse)

We even managed to have a cup of tea there)

Now have a fantastic Friday!

Foreo Luna Mini

Everybody is talking about Luna Mini!

The Stockholm-based brand Foreo has a core philosophy 

that the skin's potential must be maximized through fantastic and ground-breaking skincare.

Luna Mini has small rubber dots in three sizes and densities. 

These dots both  cleanse and massage your skin, 

and this stimulates the blood circulation

 and gives you a fresh looking glow right away.

Soya Yogurt

Over the last few years we have heard how soya products are good for us.

That it's a good source of nutrients and can protect against heart disease, cancer etc.

Some scientists  are very concerned about the hormone content in cow's milk.

What I've learned:

• Soya beans are cholesterol-free and are a good source of protein, polyunsaturated fatty acids, antioxidants, B vitamins and iron.
• Calcium-fortified soya products such as soya milk and tofu provide a valuable source of this important mineral.
• Vitamin B12-fortified products such as soya milk provide a vital source of this nutrient.
• Soya protein lowers cholesterol and can protect heart health.
• Soya foods can reduce menopausal symptoms.
• Soya protein can protect bone health and reduce the risk of osteoporosis.
• Soya foods may reduce the risk of breast cancer, with the possible exception of postmenopausal women.
• Soya foods may reduce the risk of prostate cancer.
• Soya foods can help improve cognitive skills.
• Millions of people have been safely consuming soya foods for thousands of years.
• Phytoestrogens (plant hormones) are much weaker than the natural oestrogens consumed in dairy products and red meat and may have a normalising effect on hormone levels.
• Soya-based infant formula can be used as a safe alternative or supplement to breast milk as it meets the nutritional requirements of the child.
• Millions of healthy infants have been safely raised on soya-based infant formulas.
• There is no evidence that soya adversely affects the sexual development or reproductive health of humans.
• Intakes of phytoestrogens in the UK are no greater than those consumed in Eastern countries for thousands of years.
• There is no evidence that soya foods cause impaired fertility or alter sexual development in humans.
• For the vast majority of people, soya does not disrupt thyroid function.
• Soya ‘mock meats’ provide a valuable source of protein.
• Cow’s milk contains over 35 different hormones and 11 growth factors, several of which have been linked to cancer.
