I have nicked this picture from Pinterest by taking a screenshot in my phone. It’s a sample of a stunning Kaffe Fassett fabric design taken from Coqui De Vicente’s account. I don’t have Coqui’s, or Pinterest’s permission so I will be taking this picture down again in the next few days if I find out I’m breaching […]

Viridian 100% Organic Scandinavian Rainbow Trout Oil – Alison Allmand-Smith
Years ago for a few years, I used to take high quality fish oil capsules not knowing quite the extent of the benefit of taking them upon my system.
